Nice to see that everything is coming together, does everybody want slimfit Tshirts or Big Boy T-shirt. They will be black with the white RX8 logo on the back to cut down on cost. I will need a rough size count or estimate.

Chun: I believe with the computations Phil told me about your RX8 engine is running strong.

Everyone else gets a brand new engine. Jealous much?

Yeah my engine runs fine... too bad my car doesn't. Did my t-shirt design come out to be too expensive? That sucks, I was really looking forward to seeing that on a shirt.

It's a kick-*** design, I will make it work!

Maybe back in your old football days you would've got into a slim fit. 3XL you got it!

I can fit into a slimfit large but then it looks like I shop at the Baby Gap or Gymboree.

Most RX8 owners are a pretty healthy bunch so I think Larges and up should be fine, minus the younger guys Armin and down.

I agree with AJ, it's a kick-*** design. It's going to take a "friend" to do them for us cuz what we have is multi color blended and I am told very expensive to reproduce.

AJ has a "friend" that may be able to do some. Let's see what it costs and then we'll see how many we get.

Even in my old football days I was big but could get by with a 2X. Never a slim fit. Let's see, Armin, Phil 2, Ryan, Denzil are "small guys" and would most likely use Large. You, Chun, Gill and a few other would need xlarge I think. I might have a sponsor for the mugs if I can keep the cost down..... It's times like this I wish I had keep a good relationship with the dealer....but only times like this due to their attitude. When we have an idea of the shirt cost, maybe we can find a sponsor their also.

Me too. Getting a massage for lunch. My fault? lol. You wanted to take the 8 around the block, good times. Chun's an animal.

What's with all the code words? Maggy and dwd?

I found out what dwd stands for, dying with dignity, which is exactly how I feel.

Maggy on the other hand, I don't have a clue.

Show me how to get a sponsor.

Chun: No truer words were spoken, it was an excellent call.

Dying with dignity is more appropriate in my situation.

To acquire a sponsor you usually go to an entity that can profit from the event. Let's just say an oil company because we will use a lot of fuel. A parts house that is trying to break into a new group or an established parts house trying to keep it's share.

If we were bigger I would go to the Chamber of Commerce or the Convention Authority for some sponsorship.

Use your imagination. In the old days banks and credit unions would sponsor for the loan business. Car dealers and manufacturers were big into that also.

I meant it in a "Uh oh, the gauntlet has been thrown down" kind of way. I forsee me proving myself not to be a lightweight and my liver paying the price for it.

No worries Phil, I know you are not the **** talking type. We keep it light and with amount of jokes I make, I can take it in return... provided I like you.

Good info Phil, I'm always learning something new, but I'm not putting any stickers on my car!!!!!!!!! J/k I will find another way to keep costs down.

Chun: If it isn't too much to ask, can I get the T-shirt design in Adobe PDF format. Thanks.

It's gonna be on a white Tshirt now, black is too hot here in the summer.
