I'd like a shirt that reads...

"You know you drive an RX-8, when everyone around you has shirt about their RX-8"

I'd like a troll face imprinted directly below that.

My size is a large.

Well I for sure found out thy I'm not gonna make it this year. Just not enough $$$ to go around. Saphira burned all the extra up with the bill to pick up the FD. I've officially got 18k in her without ordering her wheels. You guys be safe and have a great trip.
