| I saw that just after midnight last night and almost posted it, but figured I was looking at it with a biased eye. I'm glad the rest of you saw it, too! |

We had a dispute here, if the Ghia in the logo was in San Francisco - as its on the other side of the road near Chicago was my vote. From the looks of the logo it would make a nice roadtrip.

Look close. It's STL, of course. It's to the 'left' and below Chicago, AND it's under an ARCH.>>> St Louis.

Think they screwed up though if it's supposed to celebrate an "American" holiday...shouldn't it be a Chevy or a Ford sitting there instead?
Don't want to start a flame war... |

They could include Hawaii, the 50th state but what happened to the 49th??? Oh yea we're not part of this country unless your talking about some dumb broad that amazingly thinks she could be president or that bridge to nowhere(I live smack dab in the middle of that nowhere along with a major portion of the state population) that everyone has a problem with.
Maybe we should just secede, at least then we would be the ones that decide where and when to drill for our Oil... we could even join OPEC.
