+1.
I had the same thought. Looking at the Hershey Swap Meet website, I thought, "Hey, cool looking shirt! I'll get one at Hershey."

Then, I clicked to zoom in on the shirt, saw the 996 snub, and thought, "Ok. I guess I won't get one of those stupid shirts."

I say show up loud and proud with a shirt of our own.



Unfortunately, there's no way to get them made by Saturday.

That's a good shirt. I think you may be able to sell a few of those.

First of all as Porsche owners themselves they should understand what passionate people Porsche owners are. To simply blow off the 996 crowd shows a fundamental lack of judgment or simple arrogance.

Second of all who the fck wants to go to something called the "Hershey Swap Meet" the only thing worse I guess would be the "Hershey Meat Swap".

Fck em.

I don't think there would've been a 997 without the 996! If its the big jump from a purist's "air-cooled" engine he's on about.. then they should chuck the 997 and 991 also! I say "he" and "him" because the guy who designed the t-shirt is a moronic bastard. Screw him! The event website acknowledges the 996 and groups it with 997 and 991.
