    work shirts - boring thread

    I've had good success with Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts. Similar cuts to Brooks Bros at a fraction of the cost. They wear pretty well too. You should give Lands' End Canvas a shot too, if you like LE clothing.

    High Quality Knives

    What other knives have you been considering? I don't like Tantos for a few reasons, so I'm curious to hear how you use your knives.

    High Quality Knives

    Spyderco has become my go-to knife manufacturer. Depending on blade length and your willingness to spend. Nothing beats the Paramilitary 2. I would also spend some time on here: http://edcforums.com/forums/knives.78/

    Homeowners?

    You're killing me, bro. We pay $2885 for a 1bed/1bath. I really need to get out of NYC.

    First! (In A Bad Way)

    Probably not the first, but I'm up there. I just got a call from Platinum VW that my turbo has failed, yay! I'd like to start by saying their service people are awesome, they gave me a loaner car before my car even got on the lift and the issue was diagnosed. The service techs and reps have been...

    Resumé Help

    There are a lot of people on here who have been very helpful in giving me some guidance with things other than cars. So I thought it's about time I give back a little. I work for a mid-sized, 5,000-10,000 employee, Finance/IT company. More importantly, I work in the Talent Acquisition/Talent...

    APR Stage 1 to Stage 2 and Back to Stage 1

    When I first bought my 2008.5 CBFA TSI GTI in September of 2008, I decided I wasn't going to flash it, that lasted about 9000 miles, and when APR had their sale last March, I jumped on the opportunity and went Stage 1. The difference in power was almost night and day. The DSG shifted more...

    Plastic Hub Ring FUSED to Hub!

    So I just picked up a flat on my way to work. Jack the car up (widowmaker, not happy about that) and remove the wheel. Find a nice 1" screw in the middle of my tread. Get the spare out, throw it on the studs and notice my hub ring is baked or fused to the hub, fucking plastic:thumbdown...
