Fred Dean of Pleasanton, Calif., used photographs of the flag blowing in the breeze as a pattern for the paint job on his 1983 Honda Accord LX, dubbed "Project USA," with which he poses on Sept. 25, 2001, in front of his house. The disabled Alameda County firefighter said he sat on the garage floor, and used stools and crates so he could keep weight off leg, which was injured in May. The car is not for sale, "but I'll trade it for bin Laden," he said. (CONTRA COSTA TIMES/CINDI CHRISTIE)
