T- shirts
Coming from a 20-year background in publishing, I would be REAL careful about selling that shirt on CafePress - as it contains a GM COPYRIGHTED IMAGE. Even though you have 'shopped it a little, any GM corporate hack will push that one towards a lawyers desk in a hurry.
I'm surprised they even let you upload it to your store as it is clearly a GM car. Designs sold there are supposed to be your own unique creations. (Including the vehicle photo.) You can't legally resell GM's picture and make miney off of it without having a licensing agreement in hand. (I was prohibited from using a hand drawn "bowtie" in one of my designs due to copyright infringement!)
Be very careful...

As long as its a picture of your OWN car and not an photo that GM has, it is perfectly legal. After all, you did buy the car and you have the right to take pictures of it therefore you have the right to do anything you want with those pictures. Now using the name is another story......
Oh man another chance to plug the run...My oldest son is an artist and will be at hte run with airbrushed t-shirt examples of HHR designs he and I are working on. If all goes well he may paint on-site but will definiely be taking orders...If the forum does produce other items shirts, cofee mugs etc I would definitely buy stuff !!!
I would definitely buy a T-shirt, and perhaps a coffee mug if they were available
. I think it would be just as easy to do it yourself (t-shirts), your own picture, your own art work

seems to me people have been using car images for t-shirts for ever. i don't think chevy minds that we do a t-shirt as long as we are not trying profit from the hhr directly. let's se some designs. wew are not trying to make a business out of this idea. i was thinking of CHEVY HHR. NET. crest on the front and a picture of an HHR with something catchy written under the pic.
