Women can drive the minivans. Men NEED to express their penises through their cars. It is what it is. Trucks and sports cars are like giant phallic projections, and minivans are like the chalice of womanhood. It only makes sense.

Ferrari.FinallyWouldn't that be the balls. Men should have whatever car they want. I don't know why I decided to not own my dream at so many junctions.

I wonder if the spetsnaz use green coffee? ROFLMAO. I know that shit is annoying for you Aaron. It's pretty funny though.

Ferrari.

My old Chevy Cavalier is still running, but sucked dick every day. The wife's cobalt is even worse. The electric system is pure fucked.

I know Seth has himself a hate boner for Ford's. My poor old expedition ran longer for less $ than any vehicle I have ever had. If I had not tried to fix so much of it myself, it would be even less problems.

Green coffee from the red threat. Lol

Phone capitalizes will automatically. WTF.

I both feel bad for you and am jealous. Fun to see all those places but, damn if flying doesn't suck sometimes. Add to that your "non standard" shape and it will be a bitch. Allen Edmunds has a shop downtown Mpls. I WILL be going there when I can.

And it was 2 $200 pair every 6 months!! That was my point though. If you buy running type or cross training type shoes, as opposed to the working type (New Balance) shoes, they will really fall apart as they are basically made to deteriorate to absorb the impact. And increase of 50 pounds of human translates to exponential increases in pressure on the shoe. Especially if I was heal striking to run distances. And if I decided to sprint, those shoes had to take a few thousand pounds of pressure every pump.

Not yet. Lots of buddies load. Mostly pistol though. You are looking at rifle info I bet.What info are you looking for? Interested in annealing. Wanting to know what units are working well. Something like these white ones here http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:188595/sku:54886100/nike-air-max-+-2013-mens/white/wolf-grey/&SID=7726&inceptor=1&cm_mmc=SEM-_-PLA-_-Google-_-54886100 Those will make terrible everyday shoes...at least bang for the buck. WAY too soft. Some support is seriously necessary if you don't want to whack out your body. If it has to be an "athletic" shoe at least make it a trail running/walking instead of indoor.To put things in perspective, my buddy runs. He ONLY wears his shoes for running. Still burns through between 14-20 pairs / year. Only 150lbs as well. I stretched 2 pair of $200 asics kayanos to last 6 months. Purchased them every 6 months, sometimes sooner. And they were shot. In the winter when I ran inside only, they would look new, but they were fucked.If I got any other pairs I would go through them in a couple months. Maybe use them for lifting weights for a while... But athletic shoes are shit for anything but athletics, and they are pure consumables. My running was 3 miles 3 times a week. I was about 250 - 265. That was only 70 min of running a week, and those fuckers were toast in 6 months for 2 pair. How does one go through a $200 pair of shoes that quickly? I wear a cheap $50 set of New Balance to work everyday. I usually get a year out of a pair, and I assure you the hell they go through in a shop is far worse than what anyone except for a runner or hiker will put their shoes through. Annealing I have no clue on. I promise you that even when I have my most even strike, one 3 mile run is a week of work on concrete. Add into the fact I was 260 pounds.... They can't last. The foam in athletic shoes is made to burst to absorb the impact of your strike. So eventually the foam will be all used up even if it looks ok. New balance burst into the scene making walking shoes with an athletic style. So they engineered their walking shoes way differently. They also make them for standing and industry work. I cannot stand them for support, but that is my princess like feet. The best standing shoes are usually dansko, but those is some ugly shoes. They stopped even trying to make ok looking men's clogs. My old pair were Fucking amazing. I milked those until they fell apart.

Exactly. And those $75 dollar pairs won't make me happy either.
-
Isn't that what I linked..... I have these exact boots. I purchased them based on the fact they are 100% leather inside... Ha, no. They made it in goretex as well. Same boot, just a permeable layer for those non-sweaty. Basically the same Mine are non gortex too. Weird, we are boot buddies. LMAO.
-
Those styles rarely fit my feet because of how wide mine are.

Those asolos look nice. I would also say that merrels and keen are good brands. Maybe not as sturdy as those asolos, but better than Nike rebok or anything similar

You scream for Allen Edmonds and rebuilding. Never seen a pair. I think you mentioned them to me before.... I should look them up. I hate seeing tread on a dress shoe. It annoys the hell out of me. One or 2 rubber soles my whole dress shoe life. Me too, although I have put on ultra skinny ones to save some shoes. Need to do it before the leather gets too soft and then the bottoms last forever. Any shoe repair place can do it. Talking 2mm or so with some traction. Can't see it, I don't like how they feel walking as much, but they seriously save your shoes in the winter.I didn't even know that was done anywhere.... It seems obvious now that you mention it, but I never even looked for it. Thanks!

http://www.backcountry.com/lowa-banff-pro-backpacking-boot-mens These are my outside work boots. Damn they are awesome. I love them so much I don't like to wear them as much as I should. I want them to last forever.

I really need some new dress shoes. These SOBs are showing too much life. My dress shoes I am probably the most picky about. Almost exclusively leather soles. Even in winter I usually wear leather soles. My feet are super wide so I have to buy shoes that will tolerate stress on the sides, and they need to be reasonably comfortable. Slip on, whenever possible is nice too.
-
Birkinstocks any chance I can. Arizona suede taupe. Dead of winter I will still wear them out.

http://m.zappos.com/ecco-track-ii-low-bison-leather-bison-nubuck Best walking, standing and light "work" shoe you can buy. If you are doing hard work, they are not the shoe for you, but then an athletic shoe is a horrible option too..... If you want to make them last years and years buy 2 pair and trade off or even simple changing out the thin little ecco insole will add a huge amount of life to those shoes. Seriously amazing shoes.
-
Any shoe made out of foam is a horrible everyday shoe unless you are replacing then every couple months.Buy some Ecco walking shoes or similar if you are on your feat all day. They will last and look much more professional. If you are not on your feat, buy some oxfords and look great. Don't buy rockports thinking they are ok either unless the sole is TPU and not foam. Foam is junk for shoes unless the goal is to replace every few months.

Talk, talk, talk. I had the unfortunate luck of finding a best friend after he took a shot gun to his stomach. BOttling up those feelings will NOT help you.Oh shit. To the stomach? I cannot imagine the brutality. One of my gram's friends used one, but to her head. Talking is the only cure. Talk it out.
