Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

chassis · 10-21-2023, 07:34 AM

LEDs did last forever when first introduced.

Now with years of manufacturing under their belts, lighting manufacturers have figured out how to make LED products with much less cost, and correspondingly lower life.

100% normal in the manufacturing world. Not great from a consumer's point of view, but I don't see it as stinky BS.

We see cost-cutting every day in the automotive world, right?

And home appliances, right? Remember Kelvinators? Some are still running today. That means the manufacturer left profit on the table.

Wide toe box sneaks for working out and walking. Not thrilled with the color, but it beats the other pairs the store had that were electric blue. Can't be too picky when you're buying 13 EEE shoes, I guess. Weird thing is, up until 5 or 6 years ago I wore a 10-1/2. Then my feet started flattening out. Now my size 12W shoes don't fit. If I were to go to snorkeling, I wouldn't need fins now.

Is your name Geraldo and this is Al Capones vault?

Financial mistake? Possibly. 100% worth it. In a few years maybe it'll pay for itself in gas

So do we...

Yesterday I picked up a Dewalt XR 20v sander and a Dewalt 12 gallon Stealthsonic shop vac. The shop vac is crazy quiet.

TXSTYLE · 10-28-2023, 08:53 PM

Picked it up today! Our son is totally ecstatic!

Such a Blessing to be able to gift my son a car. Let alone a nice car. This is his Senior year.
He will be off for College next year. They grow up too fast...

Leveling Kit & New Rubber for the truck. Love the stance of this thing now.

The detail enthusiasts may appreciate this. No more tire shine on your garage floor or driveway. Much better than cardboard I was using too.

I’ve looked at this! I dressed tires on my epoxy floor and when car was out almost busted my ass from where I dressed it. Haha.

Love Perl, have you used dark side? I really like it. Don’t need to dress tires after every wash. Tires stay dark and clean.

Haven't tried dark side yet but want to. I have lots of Perl to finish up. The tirebib is a generous size, you can roll it up when you're done and they include a storage bag too.

I’ll have to check that out! Everybody laughed when I said I was thinking about ordering one- (I saw another brand, I think) because it’s gimmicky, but on knobbier tires like on my truck, the dressing tends to get everywhere. I cut down bristles on a paint brush for truck tires. Sling city.

I think you’ll like darkside. It’s definitely more of a semi-permanent coating and after every second wash or so I’ll top it with some Perl if I want to bring some of that wet look back but it’s always a black clean tire.

Ps- show us that Aston! 😍
