Thanks to graverobber, we've got one more reminder for why America is so great before this station goes off the air for the day. We'll be back a little bit throughout the remainder of this long weekend, but if you're not, then have a great Fourth of July weekend.

It's hard to tell from the angle...and the perspective, but we think this is a little hot-rod go-kart with a five-horse Briggs & Stratton behind the seat. Or it could be a kid's pedal toy. Either way, with its patriot paint it's ready for parade duty anywhere with white picket fences. [American Legion Post 207]

Not much represented gaudy performance cars American muscle in the 1990s better than the Pontiac Firebird. This convertible 'Bird is decked out like he just did 120 down Findlay, Ohio's main street. [Cars Photos]

"Son, you know how fast you were goin'?" If we saw this red, white and blue P71 Crown Vic in our rear-view mirror, we'd hope to hell it was five under. [ZipperHead's MySpace Page]

When the 2009 Corvette ZR1 recorded a world-beating lap time of the Nurburgring, it sure made us proud to be Americans. But, let us not forget the monster 'Vettes that went before it, like this 700+ HP Le Mans racer from 1976 that was good for over 216 MPH down the old Mulsanne straight.

Political statements weren't exactly the goal here, but this crusty-looking Cougar lovingly painted in Old Glory, sitting in the front yard of a semi-abandoned house certainly is a study in contrasts. [SideSalad.net]

There's probably no flag-draped car currently more familiar than the Subaru Brat from My Name Is Earl, which ironically had seats put in the bed to counteract pro-American trade sanctions on Japanese trucks. [IMDCB]
