Classic Glass Corvette Club Plants Their Flag At The New Caffeine & Octane
Sometimes the most powerful concepts are the simplest.
Planting a flag and claiming territory is one of those. It’s an unspoken rule that when “terra nillius” (no man’s land) is found, the country that plants its flag on the soil first claims it.
Our best modern-day example would be when United States astronauts planted Old Glory on the moon. That simple act was both inspiring and visually profound on a national level.
