    l'étoile rouge était un drapeau révolutionnaire dans les années 1830 en "Haute-Californie" (ou mexique ?)

    I think it has something to do with the band Rage Against the Machine...

    Yes, a mystery. If you ever find out, let us know. Looks like the hood is going to get a new paint job or repair.

    Do you think it has something to do with the visit of China's President?

    Funny. I'd swear this is a Soviet emblem! Got some commie spies there in Santa Fe? ;-)

    The five-pointed red star as so many meanings... Che Guevara always had one on his hat but it wasn't red. :-)

    Looks like something out of Havana (Cuba is notorious for having old cars as the trade restrictions limit their intake of newer vehicles) and the sticker looks communist. It is a Rage Against the Machine sticker (designed to look semi-communist). Great shot.

    Isn't impressive that you can post something like that and within hours Luis Gomez has the answer?
