Even though I like George Carlin's excellent sketch on national pride and why it's such a ridiculous concept, I have no problem with people who love their country. But there's love, and then there's complete madness.
For some, a bumper sticker is enough. Others need five or ten of them to feel satisfied. And then there are those who need to buy a second vehicle to have enough room for all the decals they have in mind.
This fellow here falls into the latter category, and the only reason you see just the one Vette here is that they're quite expensive. Plus, it looks like he did more than just put stars, stripes, and bald eagles on every patch of paint he could find.
Oh, no. The picture can't show everything in great enough detail - we're pretty sure there's some interesting stuff going on with the interior, and that open trunk at the back is certainly hiding something - but what we can see more than suffices.
Let's start with the red, white, and blue lights underneath the car. We'll ignore the fact they actually make up the French flag and understand the U.S. one was way too complicated to replicate with just a few neons, but the wheels too? We have to admit, we didn't think you had it in you, grandpa.
Because we have every reason to believe that the gentleman sitting in his fold-up chair at the back is the owner of this vehicle - and all the gibberish laid out next to it. The first giveaway is the text on the front quarter-panel, which suggests this is a retired U.S. Coast Guard member. The second one is the "Vet's Vette" caption on the tires, which we would have assumed was also the name of the car if it weren't' for the Red Lightning decal on the nose of the Corvette.
Since the Chevy was stationary, we have no idea what its (painted) engine sounded like, but we wouldn't be surprised if the exhaust system played out a wonderful rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" when gases started flowing. I mean, if it didn't that should definitely be the next modification.
The vehicle was spotted at a classic car show, and we can see a few nice models in the background. To give credit where credit is due, none seems to attract a crowd as big as Vet's Vette, but that can be a double-edged blade. Madmen and freaks tend to have the same effect.
