Someone call the SPCC
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Corvette. Some guy in my home town has taken a perfectly nice MY Corvette and ruined it. First he had put lime green flames over the yellow. He had driven it for several several months like that. Today I see the poor Vette and he has added a "ironing board" style wing that sits about a foot off the rear deck of the car. Why would anyone do this to a car?

There is nothing so base, tasteless or vulgar that someone won't do it, and many others will admire it.

Saw it again today
Noticed something I had not noticed before. The car has Z06 rims on it PAINTED BRIGHT YELLOW! I know this is starting to sound incredible, so I am going to try and take a picture to post. (I think I found where the guy works)
