Default The Lost Corvettes!

Sorry if it's a repost but some lunatic has had these stored in a basement for years and plans to "paint them" as an art project Whoever he is, he's the one that needs to be locked away in a basement and set these cars free! What a waste of classic cars as most look like they would take very little to be like new again

Here's the thread

That sucks! There are 36 vettes and the owner (Peter Max) is planning to paint them. I think he is a gay artist because he wants to paint them. Example http://www.doubletakeart.com/images/00359-22765.gif.
Sorry if I offended someone.

That is horrible



Quote from Peter Max, in the Metro article linked to at digitalcorvettes: "I'm not a car guy. I never drive," he says.

I did not need to see this. This piece of crap that calls himself an"artist" should drawn and quartered. In the most slowest painful way possible.

yea im sure a ton of guys would have to lay the smack down on him if he painted those things.

what a damn shame. Id say try to talk to the guy about selling them to collectors, but being a artist, and a gay one (no offence) his mind is NOT going to change and I can garauntee it.

just wait untill the ceiling starts to fall apart ontop of them.

That's as bad as the people who buy fast cars that are meant to be abused once in awhile and drive them 5 below the speed limit . That's so sad. Poor vettes. Someone should stage a rescue. Or at least knock some sense into him

Peter Max = Burnt Hippie Toker with no artistic merit. He's painted almost anything he can get his hands on like a Grateful Dead album cover.

Rot in hell hippie!!!

Did I mention that I hate hippies?

Those cars are American icons and in a way national treasures. It would be sacrilege to paint them.

Default Removal??? you decide

Hey guys I would be more than down. My best friends dad is a truck driver and owns his own truck and flatbed............you get my drift. And he lives 2 hours from anything resembling a town. But were in South Texas, can anybody say roadtrip??? EDIT-I am guessing that being the burnt out hippie he is, he wont have the vins written down
