   I know exactly what you mean.  The Porsche t shirts on their website are 
$85 IIRC - completely insane.
It's a friggin T-Shirt after all!  The profit is astronomical.   IMHO, 
Porsche is the worst at profiteering this
kind of stuff.  I know, it;s their trademark and they have a right to make 
whatever the market will bear.  But seems to
me they'd sell 3X as many of the price were 1/2 of what it is.

   OTOH, the Ferrari website has T's for from ~$33 - $53.  COnsiderably 
less expensive than Porsche.  I seem to recall
hearing Ferrari is the best known corporate logo on earth - except for Coke 
and Playboy of course. ;-)
