This evening the missus and I met 2 other couples [Dan-31 ford coupe and Tom..73 Duster with a 440] for dinner at a Mexican food joint and I wore my brand new HAMB t shirt. One of the ladies is an ordained minister and is pretty straight laced...asked what HAMB stood for and my wife leaned over and told her...she got a little red faced and gave out with a polite titter, covering her mouth. Oh man! I cracked up! Love it. Behold, the offending dinner shirt...[wow, my right eye is still a little swollen].
That shirt makes a bold statement. It is a cool Logo...and they asked... I have when talking to people about the Hotrod and The Hamb answering what it stands for if asked. It has generated anything from a chuckle to a sorta WTF look... I'm patiently still waiting for my arrival of goodies. I ordered the Crown/Hamb/Custom long sleeve black model and am box watching.
That is one goooood hot dog eatin' shirt you got there! Couldn't find the ketchup spill if you were looking for it!
I have this onehttps://jalopyjournal.myshopify.com/products/the-nylon-shift-jacket they always ask what shift pattern is that.
Oh crap you are ROCKY, "cut me Mic!" Great stocking stuffers for the wife and kids...HAMB shirts for xmas!
I often walk up to vintage car owners at shows and mention the HAMB, only to get a WTF blank stare. When I start to explain the name and rules of the HAMB the crusty old fart I'm talking to usually says give the internet address to the wife and then he'll look it up later. I don't know if they think I'm a Nut Case Waco or if they ever try to look on the internet.
I don't remember which HAMBer's wife it was who came up with her own version of the HAMB acronym a few years ago: Husbands Automotive Mistress Bitch It always stuck with me because my wife would ask me at the time, "What are you always doing on the computer?" or "Are you sure you're not having an affair?" No darling, I'm just looking at car porn!
