Ok - I guess I'm out of the loop on these but why do you guys put these on your cars? Other than the Punisher movie, what is the attraction?

No offense to anyone but in my area, I see them on all sorts of cars and some junkers too - and more times than not, its a young kid in a lowered Civic or Eclipse driving like he has a Ferrari.

I didn't put Jake anywhere because Jake is for the C6R. You don't see C5 flags in Jake do you?

Would you put a C3 flag on your car? Same Diff.

Well actually JAKE started in the C5R era, and the C5 flags are the eyes in the skull.....It's a racing thing ya know ALMS but I'm sure you know all about that

I LIKE JAKE!!
My son is in the 101st Airborne Special Forces 5th Bat. and they made up their own crest to celebrate coming home from Afgan. in 2 more weeks and it is one of Jake's Brothers.

[IMG][/IMG]

His wife and other wives made up a bunch of towel's with Jake's Bro and the 101st Eagle, and they are selling them at Ft. Campbell for wounded soilders. They have Jake's Bro on their helicopter!!!

Actually there never was a C5 Jake. The idea of Jake came about at the 2004 LeMans race, but the first Jake to appear on a Corvette was at the 2005 Lemans race on the C6-R. The design was done on a napkin if I remember correctly after some Corvette Racing fans (BadBoy Vette's) at Lemans saw the "Take No Prisoner" on the Corvette Racing garage at Lemans. So the only real Jake is with the C6 logo.
I have it because I am a big fan of the ALMS series and Corvette Racing in general.

It is NOT a C5 flag...

This is a C6 Flag
This is Jake with a C6 Flag
