Thumbs up Shirt from Manntis, simply hilarious and awesome.

Well, I just got my shirt that I ordered from Manntis and I gotta say that it is nothing short of badass. For those of you that are looking for a nice Rex shirt, I've provided some photos of it for your viewing pleasure. Thanks goes to Manntis, this shirt is truly a must have.




The back of the shirt reads as follows:
You know you're an RX-7 owner when...
You have ticketassassin.com bookmarked in your web browser
The purchase price of the car was cheaper than any one part you put on it
Someone fires up a chainsaw engine & you dash outside thinking your car is being stolen
A clerk dashes out of the gas station to keep you from putting 87 octane into that 'nice Porsche'
The prhase 'two Doritos on a stick' describes the key components in your engine, not your lunch
You know what sizes wrenches you'll need - without checking - to remove any part of your car
You've had someone follow you until you parked the car to tell you you're shooting flames
You spent an afternoon tuning your engine to run rich on purpose to shoot even bigger flames
You get a little bit disappointed because another RX-7 passed you and the driver didn't wave
Your kid blurts out phrases like 'power on oversteer!' more than quoting cartoon characters
Neighbours as far as four blocks away can tell when your car is pulling out of your driveway
You've gone flying well over the speed limit - sideways - on more than one occasion
You turn off the car stereo when driving because it's drowning out the sound of the engine
You tell your friends that your engine blew & they don't believe you because it's running
You could care less if it's 1.3 or 2.6 - it's the size of a breadbox and makes you go fast
15" rims seem aggressively big - if only you couldfind them in a 4 x 110 bolt pattern
Phrases like 12A, 13B, FB, eccentric, & air pump are parts of your daily vocabulary
You can name at least 3 movies featuring an RX-7 somewhere in the background
You look into the men's urinal & see a rotor shaped sanitary cake. You chuckle
You've rebuilt your engine but still don't know what the heck 'valve timing' is
You can see the headlights, but no th eroof, of the Honda Civic behind you
Your favorite bathroom reading material is the Victoria British catalog
The most complex computer devive in your car is worn on your wrist
The phrase 'blowing a seal' has nothing at all to do with beastiality
You pull into the gas station to fill up the oil and top off the tank
Your definition of "rat's nest" has nothing to do with rodents
You are the sole reason the local parts shop stocks MMO
Unlike the parts shop, you know what MMO stands for
You live your life on RX7club.com post at a time
You name your kids Nikki, Savannah, and Felix
You don't giggle when mentioning 'Wankel'
You think this list is shaped like a rotor
LSD is addictive, but not a drug
You have 0PISTNS plate
"teh 7 can't lose"
rotorhead.ca

The 'power on oversteer' one was inspired by Tom's kid and his adventures @ school, IIRC

The phrase "You've gone flying well over the speed limit - sideways - on more than one occasion" I've encountered about twice. *L*

PM me. The mods don't like people selling things without paying for banner space, understandably enough.

You don't giggle when mentioning 'Wankel'


I will tell someone at work that " I will leave it for you on my Wankel" and they smile and giggle.

Also, the service with Manntis was great. I of course strongly recommend possibly insurance but mostly Delivery Confirmation along with a tracking number. This'll ensure that nothing funny goes on with Customs . I got my shirt in about 3 weeks (was shipped on the 15th last month).

I still have rotorhead.ca but have taken down the catalogue. The shirts I have sitting in a bag in my living room, though, so I know I can ship 'em immediately

PM me if you're interested in getting one.

The mods seem pretty tolerant of this thread, so may as well use it for updates:

Anyone who ordered over the weekend, you should have received tracking #s via PM or email. Anyone who ordered mediums today, yours will go out tomorrow.

I'm out of XL completely, but am ordering more blanks of M, L, XL, and XXL, the XXL to satisfy a number of requests. Perhaps a run of baby tees for the female owners. Not sure if I can get XXXL blanks though, so you larger chaps may have to go with one size down - though the XXL are pretty roomy. It takes about a week for the blanks to arrive, and 3-4 days for the shirts to be screened, dried, separated, and delivered to me so now I'm out of a few sizes, it may be a week or two before subsequent orders get shipped.

To answer the FAQs I'm getting via PM:

These shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton, AAA Brand (Alstyle Active Apparel) the same blanks that my supplier for licensed rock shirts uses. Not only is the fabric good quality, the image is silkscreened on - not a cheap transfer.

Recommended care

Wash the shirt when you receive it. Silkscreening can leave some nasty fumes and chemicals on fabrics that can irritate your skin and nose. In most cases it's nothing serious, but one extra wash is better than an annoying itch.

Turn the shirt inside out and use warm or cold, not hot, when washing. This is true of all silkscreened and black T shirts. Makes the image and fabric colour last longer.
