Nice looking V1. I sure miss my V2. Any mods?

Thanks! And nope, no mods. I've had it since 2010 and for about 50,000 miles. Things are beginning to break and I'll upgrade stuff as I chase problems. Great car to start doing that with, I think. Really simple systems to work on.

Holy poo poo I've completely forgotten about that film. Wonder what the pitch meeting was like: "Okay, Stallone will play this arm-wrestling trucker who needs to get his son back, by winning the arm-wrestling world championship. "

My wife was ogling a pair of those when we were in outlet malls in WA today. Things are like one third the cost of my home town so I bought these monstrosities



Nike Fingertrap Max Free

Also these



Ray Ban aviator carbon fibre something or other. Barely $200 for both items, they'd be about $600 in Vancouver.

I listened to a really old "How did this get made?" podcast recently, and according to Stallone (don't know the source), Golan/Globus just kept offering him more and more money. He literally said something like, "Well, I figured no one would see it anyway."

Good call. I've had these for about 5 years now, and the carbon fiber arms have kept them from breaking so many goddamn times. I''ll only wear these going forward.

While these shoes are the definition of boring shoes, I agree with that statement. Boring shoes are much better than ridiculous shoes

If these didn't have the New Balance logo on them I would just assume they're some no name cheapo shoes you'd get from a big box store for like $30.

...which leads me to the question, why are 'outdoor' shoes so loving awful in design? Is it impossible to make functional walking footwear attractive or something?

I would assume that part of it is the fact that they're meant to be worn outdoors. They're going to get dirty, they're going to get scuffed up. Any lighter colors or materials will look like poo poo after a single hike or lawn mowing.

I think if they just used black and gray they'd have a much nicer looking product though. If I ever have brown on my shoe it's time to grab a hose.

Because, for the most part, people who are into through-hiking 50 miles on a long weekend, driving 8 hours to climb a 5.11 route in the middle of nowhere, or tramping through underbrush in search of some particular piece of wildlife don't give a poo poo about Air Force Ones (or whatever the trendy new hotness fashion statement shoe is at the moment). They care more about things like durability, comfort, resistance to staining, weight; you know, poo poo that actually matters.

I agree; I'm simply too active for Nikes, or shoes that look good, which is why I buy these:

You can own more than one pair of shoes, y'know.

Like you have your ugly rear end hiking shoes for when you hike, and some Air Force One, trendy, new hotness fashion statement shoes.

Or, like, some Vans.
