The TTAC Racing Shirts Are Finally Here! So We're Going To Give More Of Them Away

What a long, strange trip it’s been for the TTAC Racing shirts! To begin with, they never made it to MSR Houston for the actual race, being left in a storage area by the folks who were prepping the car. The car itself never made it on track for the race. So this commemorates a race effort that, strictly speaking, never happened. It’s like having a shirt for the 1983 Corvette.

Which makes them either worthless or highly valuable. If the latter were the case, they’d be on eBay like, right freaking now. Since it’s the former, we’re raising the stakes.


We initially announced that we would be giving five shirts away. Due to the delay, we’re going to make that ten, and we’ll announce the winners from that thread on Monday. We’ll also give away another five to readers who post in this thread.

Sizes available will be Men’s L, XL, and 2XL, as well as Women’s “S” as modeled above by recurring TTAC imaginary character and improbably-constructed child of the Sixties, Julie Hyde. She would like to complain for the record that she received no chance to do any makeup or prepare for the photos. Complaint noted and ignored, Jules. No prizes for guessing what her nickname is.

    I'd take an L size. I just wish I was as good of a mechanic as I am a fan of TTAC.

    I like the thong idea. Since I'm a 2xl kind of guy, there would be PLENTY of room to work with material-wise. Picture this: A row of overly bright sequentially flashing LEDs down the backside terminating in a flashing stop sign strategically placed at just the wrong entrance. On the front, a picture of just Jack's hair embroidered over the crotch. Then screen the Merc racecar below the hair. I'd suggest a few prototypes before committing to production. 2xl. Anyone seen my Dewers?

  • Michael Gallagher I agree to a certain extent but I go back to the car SUV transition. People began to buy SUVs because they were supposedly safer because of their larger size when pitted against a regular car. As more SUVs crowded the road that safety advantage began to dwindle as it became more likely to hit an equally sized SUV. Now there is no safety advantage at all.
  • Probert The new EV9 is even bigger - a true monument of a personal transportation device. Not my thing, but credit where credit is due - impressive. The interior is bigger than my house and much nicer with 2 rows of lounge seats and 3rd for the plebes. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, around 300miles of range, and an e-mpg of 80 (90 for the 2wd). What a world.
  • Ajla "Like showroom" is a lame description but he seems negotiable on the price and at least from what the two pictures show I've dealt with worse. But, I'm not interested in something with the Devil's configuration.
  • Tassos Jong-iL I really like the C-Class, it reminds me of some trips to Russia to visit Dear Friend VladdyPoo.
