I thought Lexus wasn't even considered a threat to MB?

That T-shirt is NOTHING compared to the Ford-Chevy-Mopar conflicts we high school guys had when I was growing up.....before imports were a significant part of the scene. Dave would not want me to post some of the things I can remember from high school about the jokes that went around about cars. Back then Ford people were FORD, Chevy people were CHEVY, and MoPar was MOPAR. I was one of the RARE people who liked all three....I liked almost anything on four wheels....luxury cars, muscle-cars, pickups, compacts, wagons, British sports cars,......... just loved to drive, period.
Sorry, I got a little off topic, but T-shirts like that bring back memories.

Not saying that it can't be printed by MB though.

I would think official Mercedes shirts could cost more than $10 though... it's also from Hollywood.... good chance of a Chinatown knock-off then the buyer (bulk buyer probably) ironed on the sentence.

Now name another, please.
