Most of these look incredibly tacky...

Almost as bad as painting your house with stars and stripes.

The picture above was taken at Corvettes @ Carlisle, if I'm not mistaken. Notice though, that they're missing one row of blue Vettes...

I'm all about patriotism and might do such a thing on a track car. Not my DD.

"7 Corvettes That Are America as Hell For 4th of July" ???


Sorry to pick nits, but since it's about our great country, I will not be shy... as it would be 'un-America' of me not to point out that the headline should be:

7 Corvettes That Are American as Hell For 4th of July

'America as Hell' sounds like something isis would say...
