An 18 year old Michael Jackson fan has come up with something sweet that can become a regular tradition if the Jackson family would permit it. But considering they are still squabbling over the riches of the departed pop icon, it may take some time for them to even consider it.

The whole idea was conceptualized by Eric Calisto, an 18 year old fan who has created a website that allows Michael Jackson fans to put their name, business, or website on a Michael Jackson tribute smart car. Fans will also have a personalized flower, delivered to the Michael Jackson memorial, once each year, forever.

The smart car is a great concept where die-hard fans of Michael Jackson can endlessly pay tribute to their idol in memory. While it seems remote to date in getting something concrete for it, you have to admit the idea is really something touching and will be appreciated by the former King of Pop from above.
