ChevLoRay · 10-01-2009, 01:40 PM

A nice set of wheels and it would stand proud anywhere!

**michael bustamante** · 10-01-2009, 01:57 PM

70cstjr · 10-01-2009, 02:12 PM

its about 45 min or so depending on traffic, strait up up 75

big mike71 · 10-01-2009, 03:46 PM

I like it, but I bet it's a wrap instead of paint.

PanelDeland · 10-01-2009, 06:35 PM

There was one with about the same paint scheme at Maggie Valley this year.The paint on it was nice but I don't know if this is the same one or not.

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America." Section 8

"The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing." Section 8j
That is showing disrespect for the Flag.
I served in the US army under that Flag and I don't like to see it shown disrespect like that. my two cents worth

I respect and thank you for your service, but this is not the flag it's paint job on a truck and it's cool, I don't think the owner or anyone on this site is trying to disrespect the flag, GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Can you explain that a little bit? I'm not sure what you're calling disrespect.

Better than flag stickers on Hondas and Toyotas I see around. Neat truck built Im sure to be all about RESPECT!

texanidiot25 · 10-01-2009, 10:21 PM

How is it disrespecting the flag?

Zoomin · 10-01-2009, 10:35 PM

I know someone who ran out of Zoloft.

Cool!

unclewatts · 10-02-2009, 12:14 AM

I can't understand why he wants so little for it especially with a nearly new engine in it.

**special-K** · 10-02-2009, 06:54 AM

I see it as honoring the flag.I also see it as art which is a freedom of expression.Something our military has fought to protect since the first flag.it`s not "the flag",it`s an interpretation like we find on stamps and government logos,even medals.

I have seen alot of things that are a great disrespect to our flag; however I just don't see how that truck is one of those things. The guy painted the truck like that because he is trying to be patriotic. Something that sadly seems to be out of fashion these days.

I couldn't agree more.

Ok all...points have been made from both perspectives and both sides make good points.

TheOldGM · 10-05-2009, 07:11 AM

Interesting to say the least.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-02-2009, 08:05 PM

Id roll that thing well with some better wheels anyway..

71BB_LWB · 10-03-2009, 11:51 AM

That is a tribute to the flag not actually A flag, I don't see the disrespect. Maybe if he had glued a real flag to the truck I could agree. I know this is your opinion and I respect it, I just don't understand it. But now you know my opinion also.

MVHandy · 10-03-2009, 02:42 PM

Sorry guys but I am a veteran and have to agree with woodchip.

The flag is a symbol of this great country and one under which a lot pf people have served and made the ultimate sacrifice because of a belief in what it stood for. Sorry to be a stick in the mud but if I had the $1,950 right now I would buy this truck in a heartbeat but I would have it repainted or remove the wrap if it is a wrap pretty soon thereafter.

There is a trend of fanciful paint jobs, womens swim suits ( i have noticed a few bikini models in my time), towels, neckties, etc using a flag pattern. To me and others who have a more traditional view the issue is simply what the flag means to us, it is a symbol of a much greater thing, not a fashion statement or "cool" design motif.

Hottrucks · 10-03-2009, 02:50 PM

what does this count as then...eeeeeeek!!!...and I served this country but still
