Alright, so our art director JG Pasterjak and super illustrator Simon Paul have developed some of the coolest art we've ever had on our T-shirts. You may remember THIS THREAD that JG started on the subject.
Well, we're ready to reveal the art.
These will be available at the GRM experience at the Rolex 24 event, and will be the new official shirt in the GRM store shortly afterward.
I think one of the best shirts we've ever had, but based on feedback from the last thread I think this next bit will be even more exciting.
We're making a special edition run of black shirts.
We went renegade and snuck in the order, so y'all better like it or we'll be fired.
The black shirts will cost a little more (probably $5 more) and won't be available as a subscription premium, just as a separate item in the store. We'll only have a limited number (especially for small and XXL sizes.) so be ready to order in early February. Sell them out quickly and it will be easier to do it again.
Ack... apparently I need to turn in my GRM card... I recognize the 6-series on the left... but not what's on the right 
{kicks rocks}
Is there an option to pre-order ? that may prove to be useful in demonstrating viability...
Oh, and me likey !!

That's great to hear about the black shirts. All of my white grm shirts are too stained to be considered formal wear.
In reply to ReverendDexter:
looks like an E30 M3, but the headlights have joined together.
I really want a black shirt, but my shirt size is Medium Sexy...
In reply to Chebbie_SB:
No, the technology to pre-order is not available to us yet. A nice "OMG I can't wait" is probably good enough to establish this as a good or bad idea.
Glad to hear you like it!
We'll have enough medium-sized shirts to make approximately 72 people very happy. I will be among them.

It's a car.
We kept everything somewhat generic on purpose, so as not to stoke the inevitable fires of brand rivalries. We had to go a little E30 on one of them, though :)

The right is obviously the number one readers ride- Group 44 Jag. Do I get a cookie?

It looks to me a little like an early 70s celica, or maybe a late 60s camaro? Im ok with either of those. Even if neither of those were the inspiration for right car, Im going to go on thinking it in my mind...I need those "little wins" these days

OMG I cant wait !! It would be nice if GRM'ers that have subscriptions went to the head of the line for a specialty run like this, just thinking out loud...
That looks great guys!
I still want a Canoe Guy shirt. 
The E30 was certainly to be expected, but I'm shocked that the car on the right isn't a CR-Z, as it is apparently the greatest car ever made.
One on the left looks more like a BMW 320 to me, at least in the greenhouse.
Regardless, cool looking shirts!
I've heard the CRZ is the new Miata.
Very nice! Can't wait to order the black version.

I think it handles better and is lighter than a 5-door mazda...oh wait.
I'm in for a black XL. If these were available now, I'd take the drive to HQ for some instant gratification.

That's a mid-70's Cortina on the right.
Ninja wrench!

If I was just a bit closer.....
Sweet, now I'll have a "formal" GRM shirt to wear to weddings / funerals / bar mitzvahs etc.
I'm pretty sure the car on the right is a Vector.....or a Mangusta.....or maybe a Lada, or Model T. Although it would have been an AMC Eagle if my co-workers weren't so lame!
I'm going to buy up all the larges in black and hoard them. Yay black GRM T-shirts!

Fixed that.
I just see two BMWs, but super cool shirt all the same!
I'll take a stack of black XLs!
I have 2 white shirts to wear during worker duty at blistering hot autocross events. The rest of the time I wear black like Johnny Cash:
"I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion - against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas."
