    Awesome! But what about us knuckledraggers?

    Front of T-shirt -- A Haynes Raptor manual cover.

    Back -- A color picture of a Raptor, with Aaron Douglas in overalls doing a teardown, and two guys watching him, taking notes and pics.

    I would prolly pay 50 cubits for that shit, Reece. Do-eet! #starwars

    obscure reference count on this shirt approaching critical levels. let me be the first to admit that i only got two of them off the bat being forced to look up whatever a 'hayes manual' was afterward. #starwars

    @tetracycloide: FYI: Haynes manuals are basically real-life Starfleet Technical manuals for cars. For amateur mechanics like myself, who don't like getting screwed by hack greasemonkeys mucking about under my hood, they're livesavers. Everything you could possibly want to know about your year, make and model vehicle is in these things.

    Since I am a geek, I actually also read mine for fun. #starwars

    Speaking as someone that has owned many Haynes manuals for motorcycles past and present, this is inspired! #starwars

    Heh heh, I remember when I had an old 1983 Monte Carlo. The Haynes repair manual would always be in the trunk of the car. #starwars

    Clearly defective; possibly a bad motivator. Serving humans rather than exterminating? Blasphemy! #starwars
