The site links to PayPal, where Callisto requests a $10 donation. Callisto said that the idea came to him after he read fans' emotional reactions to the news of Jackson's demise on Twitter.
Considering only a limited number of fans were able to pay their respects at the recent ticket-holder-only Los Angeles memorial service, Callisto said UltimateMJTribute.com is a way for everyone to show an "everlasting appreciation" to the King of Pop.
Callisto is looking for approval from the Jackson family to make this the "official" Jackson tribute car. He promises to personally deliver the flowers each year in the Smart Fortwo.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009, and had 13 Grammy Awards and 13 number-one Billboard singles during his musical career. He is estimated to have sold more than 750 million records. There's no record of his having ever driven a Smart, though.
Keep checking up on Callisto's site for further information and updates on the project.
