It is, but in the 45 miles or so I've put in so far it's already more comfortable than the crap I had previously. Can't wait to break it in more, well worth the money.

I had a 2009 Rabbit, which was pretty totaled when I was hit by someone who fled the scene. Although the Rabbit (and most newer cars) was mostly fiberglass, and I was hit by an all-metal early 80s Buick, I walked away with just a few scrapes, and am pretty much a VW fan for life.

The '09 had a center console that gave you an armrest, and had air vents in the back for people sitting in the back - they took this away for the 2010 (re-named) Golf, and though I still love the car, I found this really irritating.

My only real gripe about the Golf, really, is the price of maintenance and parts, but that's all new cars, so...

The 2013 doesn't really have a real armrest. It's there but pretty far back behind you. However it seems they brought back the vents for the back seat.

That's some choice gear. I've gone months and months without a single flat on my gatorskins, and gotten a couple thousand miles from a pair. Definitely worth the price. Some people complain about weight or performance, but obviously they aren't for racing.

Never owned a brook saddle, but I hear they are the bomb.

I'm a big fan of Maker's, but Buffalo Trace is my new favorite. Also, Crown Royal is still my favorite Canadian (I like the sweetness), but I'm always looking for suggestions (but not scotch).

I bought a Mi Casa Verde home automation controller from an overstock type store, and was super excited about it until I realized it was still attached to someone else's account so I can't do much with it. Taking it back today and using my refund to buy a Fatboy giant beanbag for my game room instead.

Two of these to help decorate my new flat :)

I don't know if you've ever owned white furniture before, but my Italian aunt bought a $3000 set that wasn't supposed to pick up dirt or stains and less than a month later it was already visibly stained. Don't wear "raw denium" on that, read a newspaper, or even touch it without washing your hands first. The oil from them will eventually stain the armrests, and any vibrant fabric has the possibility of staining. Honestly, I think Rick James did Eddie Murphy a favour when he "gently caress yo couch". Also invest in a few cans of purpose made Scotchguard.

Back on track, I didn't know this had turned into the Roting 600 thread, I picked up one of each (in .5) a few months ago.



And yesterday I picked up one of these.



I think I'm set for a"treating myself" until after Christmas.

The ratings system on the site works pretty well, the highest rated teas in each category are that way for a reason. the earl grey bravo is awesome, whichever chai is rated the highest is fantastic... there's some green teas they no longer carry (or maybe they're just out of stock) that were really amazing too. Buy all the tea.

Since it's on topic, I bought a bottle of this a few days ago:

That's a fine reason. I've always wanted to try Bulleit just because the bottle is so freaking cool.

This is my favorite Bourbon, it is so good. And it's cheap. I didn't realise it was on Deadwood. That's even better.

Made out pretty good preparing for my first snowboarding trip:


Quiksilver Travis Rice Aspect, $90. Hope I don't get too hot, but the price was right!


Dakine Titan


Random REI returns rack goggles for $10


Marmot Zeus Down Jacket, $56, also from the REI returns rack. Return reason was "not warm enough", now 75% off. Last year I got a similar deal on a wool jacket because it was "too large".


Stance Artist Series Fos Diamond socks with weird faces on em


Homeschool Art Hag base layer, 60% off

Spent about $300, was expecting it to be a lot more expensive. Good day!
