Not the haut end of luxury, but a Swiss Army knife I've used for 20 years and a pair of RayBans I've used for 10.

Have since gone back to the stock wheels, but this car is the most fun I have had on 4 wheels. The elegant lines blend old with new and the design will stand the test of time for sure. The car is 12 years old and people still aproach me and ask if its new

Ferragamo - a bit embarrassed that I need to do some polishing - though the brown pair is 10 years old and one of the black pairs is 15 - resoled twice. Next to a watch and suit - shoes gotta have nice shoes.

I dated a girl who had one and I had the same experience.

Fun car but a half-size too small, at least for me...

I do buy some pricey beers but they never seem to last too long.

and a B&O hi fi , i bought thirty years ago that still looks killer sharp today , granted its just the 3500 system , but i love the looks as much now as then too , infact , i bought another for the garage a month ago , not only for the way it sounds , but the look inspires still.

Most things when well cared for will hold up. Simple is timeless.
