What are you doing right now??

Mr.W. said:
Yes. In the seventies and eighties I worn Red Wings every working day, through two resolings, and the leather was still decent. I was truly brokenhearted to discover what that company, a former American institution, has become.

I wear Thoroughgoods now. American made, union made. I get a new pair every year because work pays for them but I have 4 or 5 pairs at home because they last me about 3 years. And I’m hard on boots. I trashed a $225 pair of Carolinas in a month.
 
I'm going to dream about this one all night!

yeah, it depends on the model of the cars..i have a corolla LE, and it come with them..an XLE and SE might have styled wheels, and some other LE's might have styled wheels as well. depends on the options packages from the assembly line.

to me, it saves on worrying about wheel theft, and having to buy wheel locks.

my 2nd and 3rd Camry's (LE models) had styled wheels, but those were lease cars

but i can assure you that hub caps ain't cheap either..they hover around $150 each...

which is why i remove/reinstall them myself..

my 1st Camry, as i left the dealership after my "free oil change"......one of my hub caps passed me on I-95....

i took the next exit, went back to the dealer, yelled a little bit.......they owned me a new hubcap, which 3 days later, i went to pick it up.

the next time, same car, Firestone sold me a set of tires, same thing, hub cap passed me, but this time, instead of doing like 60 mph, i was going slower and several cars happily ran over it..

i went back, picked it up...yelled at the manager.....Firestone got me a new hubcap.....

so, i remove/reinstall myself.

Old_Me, I just had a hilarious thought ... why do you keep exerting all that manual labor taking them off and putting them back on yourself when the stores you deal with keep buying you new ones? Ya' know what I'm sayin'?

well my visit to Red Wing, went very well...they will send it to the shoe repair in NY, will take under 2 weeks......however the boots are old, (18 years old in fact) and i was told they send them back to the factory (MN) for the exact sole...but that takes MONTHS, i said, "that won't work for me"....

R/W clerk told me the shoe repair in NY will replace the soles just with a different tread design, but same R/W quality.....i was sold, for $125.00


then i left there, had to go to Staples for a desk chair carpet protector, the old one is several years old, was splitting......so another $30 for that, and 2 packages of memo pads that we use for whatever.

then i called the wife, and asked her if she wanted Tacos, as i had to go past a Taco Bell, she said yes,

so...2 orders of 3 soft shell tacos supreme, 2 large sodas, set me back like $23.00...she only eats 2, i get the bonus taco....

damn, i better get a job real soon, life is costing me money

"Life may be costing you a ton", but you're making a killing on all the free hubcaps!!! :D:D:D
