I think it's time for us to get some shirts on our backs.

[Zach Gomulka]

No URL. I say keep it simple.

[Brian Silva]

I agree with simplicity factor. I dig the artwork! Nice touch.

[Jim Ratto]

This place is already diluted by the presence of people like me and you want to make it worse by advertising it.  I say keep it a secret and  let folks find out by invitation.  Of course I am an old fart and not an old cal look person as I only arrived in '84.  I have been around for a long time if not in the cal look, but it's nice here and the more folks find this place the more like other places it will become.  This place will lose it's identity if we are not careful.  I'm not sure that I should be here, but I like it here for now...

you should be here Donny 

[Jim Ratto]

some inside joke....no URL.....just some "those who know....know" type of thing.

I still say a quote from Cedor USA post would be perfect...

"takin naymes and kickin ass with my hellmit" and all that.....like this:

Thanks!

I like the start point JavaBug, thanks for making something visual for us. Here are my thoughts.... I like the beetle but it's a little to dark, needs some more detail, not a lot, just a little. Maybe shrink the beetle and move it to the right a bit and put an empty lawn chair to the left with a 40 oz bottle of beer next to it on the ground. It can almost be symbolic. We are all here because of are sick obsession with the Beetle (and other VW's of coarse). The lawn chair could symbolize the enjoyment of lounging on this site. And just like some of our fellow loungers that were there when The Cal-Look came about, the 40oz is....Original Gangster!

How about just a seventies sofa, a real low slung thing, and maybe with big flowery fabric... a bit rough around the edges... On the back of the shirt, with the slogan " It's a Cal-look thing, you would not understand" in not to big letters under it.

On the front: "Hanging out with senior citizens" across the chest 

I see the shirt in some strange green shade or something...

Hehe "it's a Morgan thing" ??

a hack job on the same theme...

I strongly agree with everything Donny B says above, except the part about him being here.  If there's one name I associate with having a warmed-up street car and putting miles on it, its you, Don.  Reading about the Berg cruises in the mags back in the 90s, I always rememberd that.

As for the shirt ideas, yes, I'd definetly start with a better image of a car to work with.  That was just the closest that I could find with a quick search.  I like some of the ideas floating around, but let's not overthink it...less is more!

[louisb]

you should be here Donny  Grin

Thanks!

I agree too, and not just because I am the one that pointed you here.

[Zach Gomulka]

Dont do the "you wouldnt understand" bit. Far too over used.

That picture of Sarge is just precious!!     

[Donny B.]

Thanks guys, I am deeply moved!

Back to the subject I agree with Zach that phrase is much too overused.  Maybe a sofa with a bunch of Bugs on it in a pattern and just the words the Lounge.  It needs to be subtle.  This place really doesn't need to advertise.  It's a word of mouth thing.

[Jim Ratto]

you guys thi nk of a couch? Hmmmm I think of a dimly lit dive bar stinking of stale beer, whiskey, gear oil and race gas.

and juke box full to the brim of 70's rock and early punk

I got to agree with Jim. Old racing photos on the wall, some trophies gathering dust behind the counter. FDK/Hurry is running the jukebox. Thats me standing near the pool table with a stogie in one hand and a glass of single malt scotch in the other. The regulars shooting nine ball and discussing rod ratios and stroker cranks. Fabs and Monkiboy throwing darts while discussing the merits of which 70's steering wheel will look good in the '66. The old guard sitting in the corner on a cracked red leather sofa drinking, bench racing and telling lies about the old days. Jim is tending bar, listening to peoples stories while and giving out advice. Sheep is the bar maid. (Try to beer goggle that one.  )

Hell yes. Except sub the race gas for tire smoke. And add a touch of burnt clutch

I like the car with Lounge written under....but I would prefer it in black on white(white t-shirt is simple)
But I also like JHU`s idè about sofa, but the sugested ones is too mutch "chesterfield" and the other is too new....You launched the idè JHU....draw one the way think it should look
