A Tribute To America

Just received these photos in an email and thought I would share them. The time and effort that must have went into this paint job is staggering. It is basically a collage of America's triumphs throughout the years. While I do not agree with our government on every aspect, I do love my country.

Thought we all could use a little break from the madness that surrounds us. Hope you find these as amazing as I did.

I think it's overkill and a bit tacky.

THIS is what we get for bailing out GM? Can I get a refund?

Quite a refreshing post. The concept of loving our country seems to have gone out with high buckle boots! I think it should make a comeback! Good, bad and the ugly, it is OUR COUNTRY and we shoulod get together and love it.
We wonder why we can't build a complex like the ants in the field on one popular ATS thread, yet we cannot even agree on this.

It is time to take a little pride in our country. I am not saying overlook her faults, but to recognize and acknowledge our mistakes and MOVE ON!

Awesome stuff here. I really like it!

Great pictures OP, looks like a great paintjob, very artistic, cool camaro too, Although i dont quite agree with your comment of this portraying Americas 'triumphs' more like the bad things they've been forced to endure due to corrupt politicians & greed.

Talk about ruining a nice car!

Mmmmm...so American pride, as displayed on this car, seems to be based entirely around warfare and killing?

I'm sure they could have found something a little less vomit inducing.

On a positive note, it'll be harder to spot the dead flies after a run up the highway on a sunny day!

As a lover of american muscle, I love it. As a lover of art, I love it. Thanks for posting, that is some really awesome airbrushing that was done there.

I guess they don't teach much history over there accross the pond. The British Empire wasn't exactly built on peaceful negotiations.... and I suppose that you would have prefered that the US have stayed out of WWII? Maybe peacefully negotiate with Hitler to try and convince him to stop bombing the crap out of GB? War is a fact of life my friend... there will always be those who wish to subjegate others through violent means. You better thank your lucky stars that America doesn't shy away from a good fight.... otherwise we might all be doing the goose step and raising our right hands, saluting das Fuhrer.....

Starred!! Wish I could give you more than one. I couldn't have summed it up better.

A great expression of art, (make me feel a bit "klingon"....if you know what I mean), honest art showing the warrior face of a nation, nothing wrong with that....regardless personal opinions. I love USA, but I believe we are even more than that. I wonder if the owner would drive this car in the middle east, remember many times art is misunderstood

Well I didn't take long for the America-hating trolls to show up.Yawn............
Anyway....it looks similar to a car I saw at an Air Show I went to last summer:

Nice, very nice. Love the empty shell casings. It seems that anytime someone tries to show a little American pride they get bashed for it.

Unfortunately that's pretty much SOP around here.........
