Should We Make GRM Holiday Sweaters?

Everybody loves an ugly holiday sweater, right? Right? (nod in agreement please...)

Here's how I see it: We have the ability to make sweaters and sell them in the GRM Store. You have the ability to wear them and become the object of everyone else's jealously and affection this holiday season. During a weird year, we might as well have some fun and venture into the ugly sweater business.

Assuming there's interest, we'd need a design... Anybody a good enough artist to draw an embroidered Miata?

Miatas aren't ugly enough. A 370Z should go on it, bonus if it comes with a button that you push and it plays the sound of an uncorked VQ instead of a Christmas Carol. 

How hard would it be to knit a Nissan Juke?

Do this Kickstarter style

I will send you a preorder for up to $50 if you put it up in the GRM store..

turn it into a credit for other stuff if there isn't enough  doesn't go through..
 

I'm in for one for sure, that would be awesome!

Yeah I'd grab one of those. Kickstarter might not be a bad way to go about it though.

Pontiac Aztek sweater. There, I said it.

I'd buy one but I'm not a good enough artist to design it.

Lotus Europa manages to be BOTH ugly AND cool!

A knitted Berkeley.

With a caption that reads "Berkeley Christmas 2020".

Y'all do what makes you happy.  I got enough projects without having to think about making a sweater.

No.

I am in for an Aztec!

I initially thought Aztec when making the 370Z suggestion, but in Aztec has no right to be considered regarding motorsport. 

How about a Lagonda shooting brake? It's everything we should love, and it's terrible.

Lagonda shooting brake. I'm not sure if I should vomit or have a top gear crisis. 

I'm in. Rudolph the rad nitrous'd Jon Deere.

Yes please. Make the headlights light up and a beeping horn for double lulz.

I feel like we could make that happen with coordinating a matching file and BOM for people to 3D print on their own.

Yep. That is an affront to good taste right there.

I love it.

I am not an artist, but AMC Gremlins and Yugos cavorting in the snow sounds pretty nauseating to me.  Maybe a brace of Yugos (not) pulling the Big Guy's sleigh?

Just to throw this out there , if anyone has a  stuck at home Covid  member that weaves or crochets sweaters I would love to have a VW one made for me :)
