*Triggered!!!!!!!*


@flipstah we have a saying here,
"the only thing faster than a Nissan, is rust"
if that is a southern stagea? do it. after you paint the whole underside.

You never got the good Subaru's. But right there? is one.
at 44k? you got another 40k before you need to worry about it.


you know, i have 3 here.

for good reason.


That Benz? i could bet you a Zegna tie that it smells of cigarettes and cheap air fresheners, also has cheap tires and no maintenance history.
it's a ******* hooptie.

When it comes to cars, my advice is sound.

Lol oh man we have stories to share about Subaru over biru one day. All subie owners here do is vape and pull engines out.

As per the Benz, it's a roll of the dice but not for 10k+

Ultimate thrift vehicle? Reliable? 2004 Toyota Corolla CE. Done.

And it aged better than Civics

Woman dropping off two big Loro piana shopping bags jammed full at Goodwill gave me the feels

Still not hitting the tees hard, but flip through L and XL for stuff that might fit me, found these. I think the Ozzy is from '91 (the release date of no more tears) not so sure about the Metallica.

Am I the only one on the thread who is into these? I always pick up if they're in my size and <$15, I have 5 different pair now.

Just finished Stranger Things 3. Loved it.


Goldpfiel. They do surprisingly well.

American Giant Ladies.

NWT BB Country Club Harrington.

NWOT Nudie selvedge.

Way too awesome NOS Polo seersucker shorts.

Alden for Jos. A Bank.

NOS Sero OCBDs for me. Perfect fit and collar roll. Unlined collar and cuff goodness.

Going to be dadding it up real hard this winter in my Patagonia Better Sweater. You read that right: baby girl arriving Thanksgiving Day.

Nike air Cole Haan? They look pretty comfortable

 

[txwoodworker]

Zero Grand, they are super comfy.

My only find this far from the great LVC TJ Maxx dump of 2019 has been a pair of suspenders for $11.99

@Purplelabel can we be twins?! I found the same belt

@matty long legs congrats!

@txwoodworker
I’ve got -no joke- like 20 pair of Lunargrand. Not to be confused with Original Grand (after Nike sold CH off, looks same but isn’t Lunarlon).
I preferred their look over the more “teeth-like” sole of the Zeros. That said, I’ve got 3 pair of the ZGs and they’re very similar in comfort.
I’ve had a lot of the collab ones with Fragment. Obviously this type of shoe isn’t in the same league of quality as shoes that can be resoled but they are very comfortable. Cheap quality materials, even on the fragments that people ask $500+ for.
For dressier style comfort they’re my go to, but yeezys have taken their place for more casual/athletic outfits.

Hey All,

I was wondering if there may be some resident Louis Vuitton tie experts here. I picked up the one on the left today and the label looks a bit different than Wine colored Damier patterned one I have had for a few years (and I have always thought to be real). Anyone able to weigh-in on authenticity? Thanks!
