very nice shirt, got one 
Nice art but green is really not my color at all.
- Itās part of small car clowning now.
- A tiny VW bug, under the big top.
So, there I was on the evening of June 14th in Santa Fe. My son and I had a day-early Fatherās day dinner together. All told, things seemed to be pretty much OK.
I was in the middle lane; it was a double-lane right turn. My evening turned to muck as I heard my car scratching a 5 foot long streak into the jerk to my right. I -had- looked over my shoulder, their car was about 1/5th a car-length ahead of me - I donāt know how I didnāt see it. Nonetheless, I figured it was my fault; as it turned out, the other driver was so steamed (euphemistically speaking) that they wouldnāt even give me their insurance info.
At the end of the entire cop-ordeal, I was handed a citation to show up at court on June 30th at 8:30 AM. Which wouldnāt be all that bad except that I live 35 miles away from Santa Fe and since Iām retired I donāt get up anything near that early and 'cuz the cop wasnāt willing to tell me what the likely outcome would be, I spent the next week in semi-mortal terror.
Got to court, pleaded nolo contendere which is the same as āGUILTY!!!ā but has the advantage that the other driver canāt bring up a civil suit against me. The judge called it ācareless drivingā & said the usual top-end for that was 90 days in jail and a $300 fine. However, Iām on a sort of probation so if I can avoid having another accident for 90 days and take a class inā¦ just wait for itā¦ Defensive Driving and bring the certificate to the court the entire thing will be dismissed. Iāll be able to go away, pure and unblemished.
I must admit that I thought perhaps the other driver ought to go to defensive driving class: obviously, THEY sure werenāt being defensive enough.
So - the cost of this crud will be just a bit over $100 total (and probably a slight insurance hike) and sitting through some who-knows-how-awful lectures - except now Iāve got to add the price of a T-shirt that might not be the best thing to wear to the first day of class, but Iāve never claimed to be sane.
Result: in for one. Why such an ugly green, though?
Iād buy it if the car wasnāt there and it was just the star in its current condition.
Had to make MN light up even more. We need these things in the winter. Kinda makes me nostalgic for my deceased 1986 Lincoln Towncarā¦ R.I.P.
Hah - first sucker - roadking99!
Fuglyā¦
WAFFLES
Tank top would have been a pretty funny idea, although itās easy enough to make one I suppose
the star looks like the converse logo
I liked the elephant with wings on his page better that looks more like a woot design,He probably didnāt want to five that one up.
i still draw cars like thatā¦leaning more towards 60ās muscle, but the same blowers/slicks/weenies up front/wheelie look.
in for two. the kid and i look good in green.
Jeez, this is so cool, I dont even like it that much and Iām STILL in for three.
The problem with a lot of woot shirts is the jokes on the shirts donāt make much sense without the title. Like for this shirt, I looked at it and thought "Huh, thatāsā¦ weird. " Then I noticed the title, āOh, hehā¦ā
Did you say WEENIES up front?
I lolāed
gross
Uh, I actually think this one explains itself. An old car that happens to be big = Tank. It is given a major overhaul with the engines, and for good measure tank treads are added on. I donāt think people will need to stop and think too hard on this one.
Neither do I. That is what makes this a good shirt. I think that people will see me enter my buick century (ca. 1998), and steer clear of the car as I start off. Nothing but clear road aheadā¦
When I think tank I donāt think defensive.
Maybe it is just the screen I am viewing it on, but the shirt will be considerably lighter green. This almost looks like a forest green.
