Honestly, I thought I was the only one who didn't like the Jake logo. Oh well, to each their own I guess.

I do have a copy of it in my garage, next to my C6R poster signed by several of the drivers. Racing fans get it...others not so much.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

However, tho Jake would look very

on my garage wall (right next to my framed blue L88 Goodrich print), IMHO it would look quite out of place on my shark.

It will be like that "heartbeat" thing Chevy did in the 80's; after a short time:
