Latest one, I did this in a hurry and you can tell. Iron Cross Second Class, WWI on an old Beetle hubcap.

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

That one is striking. I seem to remember a photo of your bus with a few of your painted hubcaps, each one different on one side. It is pretty rad. I like the blue diamond motif. The iron cross would look good too.

Pick up some of the aftermarket tin foil ones, they're pretty cheap.

I hope your not thinking of doing a tweety bird, he's a dick.

Not a chance, if there were a better adversary for Sylvester, it truly is the Texas size mouse (kangaroo).

Not quite done, but you get the idea. I am not a Communist, nor a fan of Joe Stalin or the Soviet way of life. However, I had lots of green paint, and this is a "music" reference if you get it.

Egads John, what do you take me for? That is a catchy tune, if you like that sort of thing. VTW, Back in the USSR is dead on. Now on to more vague Beatles references.

Back in the USSR seemed way too obvious.
