Gracie Story

---

Welcome to our site.  Let me first say thank you for taking the time and stopping by.  I am a victim of sexual abuse. While Part of me is ready to tell my story the other part is not.  I suffer from a range of things from the after math of all this ( as my dad called it the onion lay of damage).  I had an idea and well here I am. My biggest supporter is my Dad

I have a vision on how to hopefully make a deference, Not just for myself but for others as well. Stay turned as I will add more.

When did my idea take shape? I would have to say a few months ago. When me and my father went to what they call motor city. Most know it as Detroit. To see some of the older building and learning the history was really cool

I've always had an interest in cars when my Dad started making me work on what we now call Raptus1  I hated it. Sanding is not my cup of tea. lol I didn't understand it at the time. But I do know in order to get to the end and finish line you have to do the hard stuff before the easy and reward comes.Right now I'm the Idea's and my Dad is the Labor. Just don't tell him that.  

One of my next trips I'd like to go back and check out a place called Mobsteel again they are in Detroit as well and I think it would be awesome to see how they make wheels. Plus their building looks cool from the outside and photo's I've seen from the inside. 

People asked why the word Raptus.  Well that was my Dad's idea when I asked him about name.  He came back with Raptus in under less then a second. I had no idea what it means or what. lol He told me to look it up and look under the medical and Psychological meaning. When I looked it up. This is what I found 

(  A sudden, violent paroxysm of activity or a burst of uncontrollable rage ) 

My dad nailed it right on the head. At the time I didn't see it . But the name wasn't just for me it was for my dad as well.
