Default American Flag tribute

Was checking out some of my favorite sites and stumbled on this American Tribute... Not my cup of tee but very tastefully done and hats off to who ever owns this car

I guess "tasteful" is in the eye of the beholder, but still great airbrush work, and thoroughness of the theme.

Would I do that to my Vette? Nope.

I think our cars represent America just fine without any embilishment. While nicely done, it looks tacky. Those seats look like a nicely done stunt car.
