Proof of my obsession

A few weeks ago I was doing some serious purging of my closets and dresser drawers. While sorting and stacking I came across a startling fact-I own at least 29 Robby Gordon T-shirts. Sad, but oh, so true.

What does this include, you may ask? Well...

3 Fan club t's, 2 double duty t's, one seriously bootlegged RuR shirt,3 Dakars. One rally for Robby, one bought off of ebay from a former employee that STILL smells like motor oil. Heavenly. One bright, highway construction barrel orange RGM team shirt that one of the employees at the trailer commented on..geez that's an old shirt. Three signed on the sleeve shirts my elementary kiddos always tell me I've gotten something on "Ms. Leigh! Someone wrote all over your shirt!". One JB shirt I don't wear much because of said kiddos, and one I don't wear because it makes me look like Dolly Parton. Sponsors? Cingular, fotl, verizon, JB, Monster, Menards, even an old Harrahs I trot out now and then. A Cingular TT shirt that I somehow turned a lovely shade of pink. Oh yeah, this count didn't even count the dirt duds in the laundry.

Now, of course I've added more. My new Team Zero shirt is my latest addition.

I can represent Dodge, Ford, and Chevy, of course. And hummer! And whatever the Indy cars were at the time. As well as Trophy Trucks and V-W's too. It's the post 2001 history of Robby Gordon.

And that count does not include polos, tanks, long-sleeved tees and hats. Too much to count.

Comment by MOracefan7 on July 28, 2008 at 11:33pm: I wear most of mine too, some of them more than others. If you show up to my house on a weekend, I'm usually in some sort of Robby shirt. I even try to sneak a few in on casual Friday.

I used to collect diecast, but gave up on it except for a few here and there. I have all Robby's "win" cars signed and displayed. I need more though (hint, hint Robby). Our pride an joy of our NASCAR collection is the entire door section off of Mears's pink Target car. He wrecked it right in front of our seats at Kansas and I ended up finding it online. It's our family room wall art. Wrecked, concrete dust, and wall paint and all.

Comment by MOracefan7 on July 28, 2008 at 8:42pm: I kept all my Robby gear, of course! I actually have gotten rid of a few over the years..ugly ones I regretted purchasing. Or sponsors that didn't stick around :)

I should have my name on the car. Or some of the sponsors should start paying me for advertising. Of course, I'm sure I'm not the only one around here with lots and lots of gear!
