REAL LIFE. REAL PROJECTS. Making a real difference. GMC vehicles aren’t made to sit in the
showroom. They’re designed, engineered and built to get things done, to defy the impossible and
to never say the job is over until you’ve overachieved. This is why GMC has joined with the
people and organizations you’re about to meet. People who are making a difference in their
communities and effecting real change. From advancing the arts to helping disabled athletes
pursue their dreams, GMC is proud to present these stories of what can really happen in life
when you never say never.

LIFE IS ABOUT
MORE THAN
LIMITATIONS.
Big thinking. Bigger dreams. And the passion to prove that those who say you can’t are wrong.
The men and women of Team Force Quad Rugby live life never saying never.
Playing a sport that some would say is beyond them, Team Force makes believers out of
anyone who watches them. With drive, determination and perseverance, they pursue a
goal most fully functioning athletes can’t even dream of: representing their country on the
stage of international play. But with logistics and capability an issue, how to make that dream
into reality? They relied on the help of GMC, traveling over 700 miles from Austin to Alabama
to reach the national tryouts. Proving that big obstacles can always be brought down to size
if you have the right attitude. Because like the engineering behind GMC, the players know if
you dream big, you’ll find you build your life for better things.
THAT’S THE SAME IDEA WE BUILD INTO EVERY GMC TERRAIN.
Designed with more ideas per square inch and engineered to understand that even conventional
life demands uncommon utility, Terrain is the SUV that doesn’t let size limit its superiority.
With an unsurpassed 32 highway miles per gallon,1it knows how to go the extra mile to make
the most out of every inch. And with full-size capability in a smaller size, it will never be the
type to be hindered by perception. GMC TERRAIN.

THE ART OF
UNCOMPROMISING ART.
Like the nature that inspires him, Robert Lobe believes the definition of art can’t be restrained.
It can’t be confined to a canvas or seen only in a museum. To Lobe, the thought of art, the idea
of art, is bigger than a gallery or an exhibition. Art happens every day and it happens all around us.
So he set out to put art where the people are.
A New York City-based artist and sculptor, Lobe uses items like rocks and tree limbs to shape
sculptures that highlight the random beauty of life itself. Although his work has been displayed
around the world, for his latest series, “Nature in Nature,” he wanted to bring it a little closer to
home, namely Brooklyn’s own Prospect Park. But how do you move half-ton sculptures from the
studio to the park? You start by never saying never. With GMC’s help, Robert had the power to haul
his three sculptures to the site, the capability to navigate works of art through the hustle of the city
and the bold thinking to see the project through to completion.
BUT WHAT CAN THE IDEA OF PUBLIC ART SAY
ABOUT THE THINKING BEHIND THE GMC TERRAIN?
That good ideas shouldn’t be contained by convention. That compromise doesn’t have a place
in art or engineering. That true inspiration can make a powerful impact. And with professional
grade, even everyday life can be a work of art. GMC TERRAIN.
