My high school is letting us wear white t-shirts next Friday (usually we have to wear collared shirts.) I bought this shirt just for the occasion. I wanted to let my fellow Opponauts know that even us youngsters (15) are spreading the word of the Manual Gods.

Well played. I'm a HS teacher and when we have staff dress-down days I rock my Blipshift shirts. :)

I'm 16 and in High School, and this is the one I wear. Young gearheads represent!

Awesome, I never knew that. What do you teach?

English...even though my sentences aren't always perfect around here. :)

Ahhh, English. My dad's an English teacher. I live in an area (Washington, D.C. area) where you strike up a conversation whenever you run into someone who appears to be an enthusiast. If I had a teacher who liked cars, I would probably jump through the ceiling. You always seemed to be one of the most grammatically correct people on oppo. So is the consulting something you do on top of teaching?

Yeah the consulting thing is a side-job, most teachers need some extra income. I started doing it for fun for friends and coworkers and after grad school I made a business out of it.

I am so lucky..today in English we were talking about the 50's (for East of Eden and when John Steinbeck was writing and stuff) and the teacher said how much he missed his old '56 bel air. I knew then it was going to be a good year :)

Here here, I'm 17 and in high school. I don't have a manual trans shirt, but I have a couple ford pinto shirts. Do they count?

Of course. Only a true gearhead wears a pinto shirt with pride.

You've got a Trans Am at 17? Props to you...that sounds like a long life of muscle cars ahead.
