I would definitely buy a T-shirt, and perhaps a coffee mug if they were available. First, you would need a logo....second, a company to do it. Can you say "Cafe Press"?

If the makers of this site want a shirt, I will be glad to help them design one. I've got several designs with my black creations on T-shirts on my CafePress site.

Here is one of the 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......

Thumbs up T-Shirts

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

That's the great thing about CafePress. You can make any T-shirt design you want and they will put it on a shirt for you. There is really no money to be made at CafePress because of what they charge, but it is a good way to get a shirt done for yourself. I originally signed on to CafePress to make my Coast Run T-shirts. I was having a hard time trying to figure out what sizes to buy and about how many I thought I could sell so I wouldn't get stuck with a bunch of extras. I could have made more money having the shirts made locally, as long as I sold them all. This way people could buy the size they wanted and I wouldn't have to worry about it.

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.
