Not for me, you would never see one on my car, but that being said - to each his own.

I love the Jake stuff and mainly what it symbolizes. I would put it on my car if there were better quality offerings available. For example, a billet exhaust plate with jake, I would do that in a heartbeat.

and I am 54.

It is not always a Harley thing, it is IMO, an 'I am an Independent" thing

I like the JAKE! And the exhaust plate.
By the way. Whats this about being HARLEY-ISH?
I'm getting ready to take my Black and Chrome SuperGlide out for a much needed run(about 50miles) up along the Delaware River now.

I like it and what it symbolizes, but I think it should remain on the C6R. JMHO

I like Jake and what he stands for. I have him on my car to honor what the Corvette Team has accomplished over the years. I'm 60 and like to drive fast on the track. To experience just part of what Corvette Team drivers do for a profession.
