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

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:

Great looking emblem and attitude but not on a C3. I do need to get one for the toolbox though.
