Would you rock this sticker?

I had a late night idea... I'm thinking about making a little run of stickers (and maybe shirts eventually). I thought I would see if there was any interest out there.

Paddle Free Zone. Inspired by a Chris Harris video (https://youtu.be/wjj7fBkcQCE?t=4m49s).

I've drawn all the major shift patterns but would start with the Porsche standard 5 or 6 speed.

The stickers would be clear with white ink (maybe cut vinyl), so they would look great on a window.

What do you guys think?

New items like that need Wayne's approval. Would suggest running it past him prior to an investment. Just a friendly FYI.

Interesting phrase. Living in LA after living up north, I see myself driving my stick less and less.

Roger that. I've seen that come up a few times. Just seeing if anyone is interested right now.

I might rock a sticker (6 speed) on my tool box. Would not buy the the shirt though. Yeah, interesting phrase.

Hmm. Very new school. I would prefer "shift for yourself."

To me "paddle free zone" would go on my jetski. No kayakers, no canoers allowed.

'Paddle Free Zone' sounds like a liberal school
slogan...right next to 'gun free zone'....

In a way, it's a little too "VW Fahrvergnügen" for me...

I think it's a great idea. I just don't get the sports car feel when I drive my brothers 991 with PDK. Maybe it's the lack of oil and old leather smell? Guess I'm biased. Tim

Can someone do Darwin's ape moving from 1 speed to four, five , six, then any paddle or worse..then the Porsche 5 speed 70's shift knob? Addendum: Does balsa wood 917 look good with today's printing expertise?

Has anyone seen a 917 shift knob with shift pattern engraved on top?

A thought from a retired copy editor, here - if you do this, I'd suggest "Paddle-free Zone," rather than "Paddle Free Zone." Best to hyphenate compound modifiers, best to use lower case on the second modifier. Just a thought, not trying to be a d&*k.

Nice video clip. Paddle-free does seem to read better.
