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?

MaintenanceCosts Nope. The CUV is now the default car, and the sedan is a specialty product. For baseline competitiveness the OEMs need a full lineup of CUVs. Full-line OEMs also need pickup trucks and a couple sizes of SUVs. Sedans are what coupes used to be: a bonus afterthought.
Jeff I believe if they made sedans with usable trunks, taller, and easier to get in and out of more people would buy them. The trend toward sloped roofs, lower profiles, and small trunks has increased sales of crossovers and suvs.
KOKing Toyota still moved half a million Camrys and Corollas in the US last year, and although I can't find Model 3 numbers on their own, I'm guessing it's in the 200k range, so sedans aren't going the way of the PLC. Clearly SUVs and trucks have higher margins, and it's all about 'shareholder value' for the Big 3 in particular, so I don't seem them bringing em back if/until the pendulum swings back in another generation or two.
Billccm I miss the Fusion, too. My daughter's 2007 Fusion has been reasonably reliable and now approaching 200,000 miles her only replacement to consider is a Honda Accord. Sad Detroit decided not to compete in the automobile business.
Tassos Jong-iL Maybe I am wrong. I am paid to give me (as informed as possible) opinionDid you learn English in one of my gulag schools? I joke, I joke! please have a great weekend Healey-San.
