  1. I bought a pair of Redback boots about 3-4 years ago and have worn them virtually everyday since and love them. I have back issues and have learned that comfortable footwear is a major key to managing back pain. I work in a maintenance/service career and these things have held up to some serious abuse, but throw a little polish on them and they can be worn just about anywhere and not look like work boots. The soles still look virtually brand new and I do a lot of walking, bending, kneeling, crouching. If these ever wear out I will immediately buy another pair, but at the rate they are going I can see myself getting another 5-10 years out of these without issue.
  2. Tough choice as I have owned many cars that I regretted selling/getting rid of. My top 3 are:

     

    #1 1988 IROC-Z 350. I met most of OG CR with this car. Bought it after my first car was totaled and absolutely loved this car. Was already modified when I bought it but I added a few more things and really learned a lot about wrenching on this car. I also had an epic race against Kenny and the Cark, we were literally fender to fender the entire race before he squeaked ahead at the end. All of my greatest car related memories were made owning this car. Sadly some idiot plowed into the back of the car at a stop light on Sawmill and totaled it.

     

    #2 1987 Buick Grand National. Bought this car nearly 15 years ago when I was in the military living in Florida and still own it. The previous owner had torn the engine down, lost interest and sold it to me for a steal. I spent the next month or so putting the engine back together with a good friend of mine who passed away a couple of years later. Made the mistake of selling the car to Anthony and it never felt right. Bought the car back and have been plotting its return to the streets. The sentimental value of this car are beyond what anyone could ever offer me for it as the two people who helped me the most with this car have passed away (Kenny and my military friend) I will never sell it and will be buried in this car.

     

    #3. 2013 CTS-V Wagon. Never wanted to sell this car but life circumstances had other plans. I went in and special ordered this car to exactly what I wanted, I always felt the car was built for me. I have talked to many people who remember the car and most have said they have never seen another one. If I could go back and do more to keep the car I would have. I sold it to a guy in Kentucky and if I ever find myself able to I would try to buy it back.

  3. Haha

     

     

    I am considering getting that king on Amazon for $239. My queen was memory foam and I loved it, but when I upgraded to a king bed I downgraded to a pillowtop mattress. Those reviews are insane for a $239 mattress.

     

    It was insane, that thing was maybe 4 inches compressed, layed it out and cut the plastic and thing grew to almost 12" immediately then over a few days got to 16". Welcome to the digital age of shopping I guess, 2 day delivery on a king mattress to your front door.

  4. I have pretty substantial back issues so a good mattress is very important for me. I used to have a traditional mattress and box spring bed that was "therapeutic" for bad backs and what not. My back would be hurting every day after sleeping on that thing.

     

    I recently got one of these:

    https://www.amazon.com/LUCID-Plush-Memory-Latex-Mattress/dp/B0088YVDP6/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1512091805&sr=1-1&keywords=lucid%2B16%2Binch%2Bplush%2Bmemory%2Bfoam%2Band%2Blatex%2Bmattress%2B-%2Bfour-layer%2Bfull&th=1

     

    I cannot be happier with this mattress. My back problems are still there but I do not wake up sore in the morning and I feel like I get a great night sleep on this mattress. Came in a big box, set it up on a platform bed frame, let it grow and acclimate for about 6 hours before laying on it. Great mattress for the money, I got the king.

  5. Ohio State does not deserve a playoff spot in my opinion, the loss to Iowa sealed that. 'Bama will get a spot because they are 'Bama but I think they will get beat by whoever they end up playing, the Miss State and Auburn game exposed them as not being as good as advertised. The winner of the SEC game will be in, ACC winner and if Wisconsin beats Ohio State they will be in, Wisconsin loses the winner of TCU and Oklahoma will be in and BIG Ten will be left out.

     

    That is how I see it shaking out anyway.

  6. I am disappointed they are doing the all or nothing thing this year. Only bands I care to see are Friday. I checked craigslist and people are asking gold for these tickets!

     

    That's because the crybaby shit band Metallica is playing this year. If it weren't for them then tickets would be reasonable and worthwhile to get. Some great bands I would like to see are playing but I refuse to put any money in those hacks pockets.

  7. I've seen a couple of these and did a double take, because it just didn't quite look like an Impala. Then I realized what I was looking at. I love my G8 and if I was looking to upgrade, the SS would definitely be near the top. I still get people asking me about my G8, they have no idea what it is... :cool:

     

    I got the same with my G8, "is that a G6... what is that?". I get it with my SS now "Is that a Impala/Malibu? They make a SS Malibu?" It can be frustrating but a small price to pay.
