Thank you Mr. K. You had a long (105!) and great run. Rest in peace and 'enjoy the ride'.

Mr K
A heartfelt Thank you for my 36 (and counting) years of love and appreciation for your creation.
Goodbye Sir.

After being approached by 10+ people regarding creating decals or shirts, I've decided to make a tee spring campaign. Doing it on tee spring takes a lot of the stress off of me, and allows for more options to choose from.
Please note: A significant percentage of the proceeds will be going to the “Make a Wish” foundation, Mr. K’s favorite charity. The rest of the proceeds will go towards the actual cost of the design and print work. I've contributed to multiple causes through this method.
If anyone believes that I am trying to profit off of Mr. K's death, please DO NOT purchase a shirt.

It appears that there is some concern regarding my wording of "significant percentage". As of right now, this is as much as I know, and can therefore share (in terms of costs):

Proceeds/Cost total = 16.75 per shirt
From that, subtract the price of the shirt, the screening, and the art/design fee. The left over amount will be donated to the Make a Wish foundation, which was mr Ks favorite charity. 100% of the profits will go to the Make a Wish foundation to honor Mr. K.

On a happy note, we're sitting at a just under $550 of a donation. I'd love to see us hit 1,000 in the coming days. I think it would speak volumes about our community.

Thanks Scott and Alan...

Farewell Mr. K. The man gave me a life of passion for a Z car, I drove around with my wife, together we found happiness among car people, together we find passion in life. One car, many journeys and many friends met. Mr. K. was a spark of light to the Z flower of life, and I'm sure right now he is "Enjoying the Ride" in his Z car of the Cosmos that can look over all his Z fans.....New, Old, Restored, Modified, Race Car, In The Process, or Still a Heap of parts in the Garage......His love for all Z's is the lesson, the love for All Cars, All People, and have Nothing But Passion. My condolences to all those family and friends sadden...................Paul.

I just wanted to post a shirt update. So far we have raised $1400 for the Make-A-Wish foundation to honor Mr. K's legacy. These shirts will only be available for sale for another 7 days or so. I will not have any in or keep any in stock. Please order directly from the link below:

http://teespring.com/lndmrk2

I would love to hit $1500 or even $2000 by the end of the campaign. We have 6 days and 20 hours to go!
