I wanted to call this thread "Post Your New Gear"; because that is what I call stuff like this - "gear". But, the idea behind this thread is to post stuff you just bought that's non-detail related. Could be car related. Could be your new Learjet. Could be a pair of sneakers - or a jar of barbecue sauce. Could be your new toupee or a vintage Megadeath t-shirt. Really, it could be anything you think someone may find interesting.

It wouldn't be the best idea to post stuff that was purchased from an AG competitor. While I have been guilty of this in the past - I try to not do it anymore.

So, to get this started....

Jaybird Freedom Sprint bluetooth headphones:

I posted before that I like BT headphones and about an LG pair I bought. I loved the LGs, but have already been through 2 pairs of them due to one of the buds dying. I'm guessing this is related to sweat - since I wear them when I detail.

The Jaybirds are supposed to be "sweat resistant". Cost $100. Tests will follow. We will see.

Vintage "LOVE IS" drinking glass:

These were drawn by the LA Times' artist Kim Casali from her comic strip in the mid1970s. Penn Maid sour cream came in these glasses for a while in the 1970s with some type of cardboard lid on the top. Most NE USA people of this vintage probably remember these glasses and they are somewhat collectable today - but not worth much. Thrift store find...75¢.
 
Here are a couple of my most recent purchases.

The pink kayak was given to us, I bought the fishing one and the new baitcaster rod/reel combo, along with some rigging I did to my kayak.

Everything I do is detailing related :laughing:

I bought these shoes because I wanted something more comfortable to wear when I am either making a video, or in a public place where others are watching me work so I don't wear my beat up sneakers.

Plus I can detail faster with them, they let me move like a butterfly and polish like a geek, plus they look cool too, which is of course the most important part :p





Dr. Beasley's Leather lock seems to be awesome! cheap too...

I also did a water sheeting test and man this stuff works great, water sheeted right off, plus took them too Meguiar's TNOG and got M100 on them and when I got home, they very easily cleaned up, one gentle swipe with a mf towel was all that was needed, felt like the Junkman with his one swipe video of bird dropping! lol

I did debate of using UWW+ to clean them up but wasn't necessary.

I was... look at that sheet!!! :laughing:

:D
