A man from Massachusetts has gone viral after taking his $100,000 Chevrolet Corvette sports car and covering it with more than 2,000 Christmas lights.
Nick (@thenicklifts) posted a video on TikTok revealing how he had decorated his sports car for the holiday season, although not everyone was happy about his modifications.
During the day, the American sports car looked a bit dodgy, according to his followers.
But once the sun had gone down and the lights were on, passersby were treated to quite the spectacular sight.

Why some people didn’t like the Christmas lights
Nick opened his TikTok video, saying people had been giving him a lot of hate for the sports car decorations.
While that might sound harsh, there was a reason for it.
Nick had covered the car in 2,500 lights but had taped them on with strips of green tape.
This gave the Chevrolet Corvette a slight DIY feel, with the tape standing out.
Some suggested that the TikTok user should have just used clear tape instead.
However, Nick didn’t seem too fussed about what others thought.
In another of his videos, he said he spent over nine hours putting the 2,500 lights on the car.
While it might look like a mess in the day, this sports car came alive at night.
The Corvette faces another challenge
At night, it really is a different story.
The car suddenly becomes a bright mass of colors, with Nik describing it as having ‘lowkey aura’.
An unusual way of describing it, but this Corvette does certainly have something going for it.
People’s opinions aside, Nick faced another issue with his Corvette.
Due to broad state laws in Massachusetts that effectively ban the lights, it fell into a legal grey area.

In the state, it is illegal to ‘mount or display flashing, rotating, or oscillating lights on any vehicle.’
The only time when this is acceptable is when it is on a police car, service car, or another emergency vehicle.
Despite the possible legal issues, he can’t be accused of being a grinch.
