Damn ... a set of tires so I could sit down and have dinner in the main lounge. geez ...
But, I guess it's one of those things you have to do. I haven't bought a new suit in 15 years. The actual coat and pants wasn't too bad. But the damn shirt, tie(s), suspenders, socks and dress shoes was over the freaking top. It's a good thing the sales clerk was hot and wore a loose cut blouse ...

Besides, even in a suit, they might not let you in the main lounge...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif) |

The wife said, "You'll be buried in that truck if you buy it."

I vote for going with a slightly used truck, she'll appreciate that so much more because you're being "thrifty". You decided to sacrifice getting a new truck so you can spend money on a few things you wanted to get her.
You can quote me if you like. |
