Red Zed Temporarily Dead

Okee dokee (is that spelled correctly?), I managed to complete two more car designs since the last shirt issue! That’s the good stuff, right there. Unfortunately, we haven’t printed them just yet. I’m shooting for next week! One of the

Hey! I’ve Got Mud on My Shirt!

I grew up in the 80s. Born in 1975, the timing was perfect for me to appreciate a certain orange 1969 Dodge Charger escape the authorities every Friday night. If you know what I’m talking about, I bet you’ve got

Cranky

February 3, 1994. For a car guy, February 3, 1994 was either the worst day or a blessing in disguise. On my way home from school that day (Grade 12), my first real car went out with a bang. I

Time Flies, Then You Die Like a Fly
