Nice!
Would take two XL long sleeve (928 on one & Turbo on the other), and two XL short sleeve with same number/writing configuration on the back. Color - Black or Navy.
Thanks.

Story from Autoblog "You are here: Auto News > Total Croc:
Porsche suing popular shoe company over naming rights?
By Michael Harley RSS feed
Posted Nov 10th 2009 3:33PM
Porsche AG is known for vigorously defending its intellectual property. It's understandable, as the company has spent more than half a century building its performance-oriented automotive brand around design patents, logos, and the company's familiar vehicle nomenclature. Crocs, Inc., on the other hand, is a shoe manufacturer credited with introducing the world to low-cost injection-molded foam footwear. Crocs does not build cars... um, thankfully.
What Crocs did do was name its popular sandal the "Cayman" . Of course, this set off all the alarms at Porsche as that name is already trademark registered by the automaker for its two-seat sports coupe. What followed next was expected... in mid-May, Crocs received a letter from Porsche notifying them of the alleged trademark infringement. At the end of July, Porsche filed a notice of injunction in German courts against the European use of the Cayman name by Crocs.
While we realize that few of our readers would ever confuse a pair of Crocs' Cayman with the Porsche Cayman, one has to wonder if Porsche is taking this a bit too far. Rumor has it that the Cayman Islands in the western Caribbean are monitoring the situation and already working on their own legal defense... Hat tip to Freddy for the lead! "
This is either funny or sad depending on if you are on the recieving end of Porsche's attention or not. And I am quite sure Porsche hires buzz killing ******** for their legal department. That is their job.
Sure a few t-shirts is probably not going to get them involved but that is their option. Much like driving 120 mph on the freeway most of the time you will not get caught , if you do sometimes the officer will cut you a break and write it for less, then there is the guy having a bad day who hauls you off to jail. You have a choice to drive 120 but you have no control over what happens after that. Just boils down to, Do you feel lucky ?

I'd really like a reissue of the old Devek T-shirt
The one with the cross-section of the 928 engine that said, "I'd rather have a V-8". Of course, now, we could get the Cayenne and Panamera folks to buy in too.
