Default NEW t-shirt art, opinions?

Here's the new t-shirt design that I had Don Vierstra work up. I never intended on using my own car for the shirt, I think that comes off as being on the arrogant side. But, since I was paying to have the artwork done, I figured it made sense that I'd use my own car. I think that's what anyone would do, really. I've talked to Jody and I think it would be cool to do his car next... Maybe his car with with a turbo in the background? And then maybe another car from our site down the road? It could turn into a whole series of limited edition/limited run member's rides t-shirts.

And I really need to point out the patience that Don has had with me while working on this. I looked back, and to date, our correspondence has a total of 74 e-mails. He's been great to work with.

Here's the artwork and what it would look like on a t-shirt. What do you guys think? I was given the green light at Auto Meter to use their logo on the shirt, I thought that was really cool.

That is very cool looking. Too often car-related tee shirts bend towards the trashy side, but this is all class. Well done!

It would be perfect if the logo was tilted

I vote for a white or gray shirt.. Not a fan of black shirts, too hot.
