That's an interesting point. For example, I wonder how Porsche would feel about her using their car's image.
Not sure if they've chilled out a bit, but for a while VW went after pretty much anyone that used an image even closely resembling a VW VERY aggressively. And now that Porsche and VW have even more ties than before...
This needs a place in your homes.

DaVinci, Picasso, Monet. None of those hacks could match strokes with the master that painted this!
Screw wall paintings, I'll eventually have one of these sitting in my multipurpose room next to my living room.....this is art. 
Now to just scrounge up the 13k bones to snag one new.

Sabrina Chun (Blackprints) has taken my image of the "Shelby Cobra" from the internet, converted it to B&W, and she is selling those prints. I own the copyright of this image. (Shelby Cobra #95)
In reply to dyintorace:
Oh, snap!
Hence my saying that the only real art is done by hand.
Agreed. 
Damn it., I was looking forward to that Cobra picture for the bedroom...
