This might be a poor quality image, but what about something like this? I'm thinking about putting it on the front of my '71 where the symbol actually goes....



It's a modified pic from a Jeep hood with Ghost Rider on it.

No, it suggests death. We all face it; but why advertise it on a car?

Jake is the official mascot of the GM Corvette Racing teams. I have a Jake sticker on the underside of my hood because I am a fan and supporter of the Corvette Racing teams. Thats what having a Jake sticker on your car means.

Did you even know that factory GM Corvette Racing teams exist? I have found that most C1/2/3 owners know very little, or nothing at all, about Corvette Racing. I attend several of the races on the ALMS schedule every year, and the IMSA Corvette Corrals are full of fans driving C4/5/6's, and there are hardly ever any C1/2/3's. I don't get it.

As was stated before:

Corvette Racing fans get it; others.....not so much.

Go Corvette Racing!!

As a design it is pretty cool in a ripped off the Punisher comic logo type way, but to stick it on a car is about the same in my book as sticking on a Playboy bunny decal or that little boy peeing on something decal....it makes the best cars look tacky.

On a side note race cars get away with all kinds of cheesy decals...


The end answer is if you dig it slap one on your car who cares one obese rodents rectum what the next fellow thinks...
