Default Corvette not being trodden on

For the Americans on their special weekend. The spirit of American independence reflected in the duco and symbol of the American super-car.



I am an Australian living in the US. America has been good to me, and I have tonnes of American mates; so special shout out to America as it celebrates its independent spirit.

Great photo. I assume the picture is of your front fascia and the flag is a reflection. How come the flag is not reversed?
