Who will judge? Blipshift has been putting out mostly stinkers for years.

Seems like it ought to have a Miata on it

It should have an R63 with one bolt head pinging off into a pile of money.
Ok, that would be a shirt just for me.

This will be great—we've never had a shirt with a Trooper on it before!

You are right, but you are thinking of the wrong Trooper.

Put Eddie in a racing suit, holding a checkered flag!!!

Also, Canoe Guy. Make that happen.

That's the FIRST thing I thought of but have zero talent in artwork. I was thinking a line drawing of the engine below the body, specifically with the MB logo showing in the grill, with something along the lines of "GRM, where shadetree mechanic is a badge of honor" or "GRM, we take shadetree mechanics to another level" or "GRM, where AMG stands for Absolutely Motorsports Grassroots". Afterall, you're post HAS driving a lot of traffic to the site and magazine.....

Line drawing based on this pic (but from the front), making sure to add the grill to show the MB logo:

You should relegate the contest to having to only being able to use MS Paint for the design.

That would make an excellent full back tattoo! Are you a professional of some kind?

I can see you are a connoisseur of fine art and art accessories.

I had this idea a while back, but I completely lack the ability to develop it any further than MS paint...

Not entirely sure it's quite GRM shirt material, but I thought there was a chance someone on here could do something with it.

Cheers!

One Miata, one P71 and one XJ Cherokee.

If those three vehicles together on one shirt won't make people scratch their heads, nothing will.

Make it like the Cannonball Run II movie cover with the Editorial Staff instead of the movie cast.
