Since when was tying one's financial successful and brand popularity related even in the slightest to Avia shoes? There's a funny analogy out there somewhere for this crap. just can't muster one. :shakefist:

yup those are the shoes. sorry about the wrong link.


as for the ferrari laptop..

ferrari has it's own tuning programs for the cars, so that makes sense. you would be able to keep track of what your engine is doing through it's own management system.

I guess my point was Acer has about the same rep as Avia does in their respective industries. I'm sure the only reason Ferrari agreed to branding these laptops, was Acer made them an offer they couldn't refuse. If Ferrari still gave a crap about their brand reputation outside of automobiles they probably wouldn't have sold the branding rights to Acer..

no longer intrigued and definitely no longer interested in a pair....couple these with a pair of those stretchy gusseted demon dirt jeans and you can pretty much ensure women would rather be anywhere else but chatting to you

then why buy TROY LEE running shoes when adidas, nike, reebok, new balance etc do just fine? to look cool....

Then why have your helmet spray painted for large amounts of money just so you can mess it all up the first time you fall off your bike, when a non painted helmet like a Fox, TLD, THE will do just fine? To look cool...


Just saying, theres nothing wrong with that ;)

Because I'm an airbrush artist and that's my business, therefore it's for marketing purposes so I can ride more :)

Now a set of slip on vans with TLD flames or skulls or something on it? That I would buy.

I know youre an airbrush artist.
Thats why I thought it was quite ironic that you were being sarcastic about someone buying expensive stuff over other stuff that works just as good just to look cool ;)

At least I thought you were being a smartass about it, maybe I read it wrong :D

haha I didn't know that you knew. :)

ya the interesting thing is, I understand it from a business perspective but I'd rather a car that's flat black and prefer rat rods to full on customs :)
