3 IPHONES!!!!!!!! Man when is it coming over to Canada...
And was there really a need for 3??

 

[PLmatt91]

One's for me, of course.

 

[Keef]

My buddy has one. I played with it for a second and then gave it back to him. I couldn't figure out how to turn it on.

He turned it on, and I put in his password, which is the same as both or our passwords for everything. I couldn't figure out how to call someone.

He called someone for me. I proceeded to hold the iPhone upside down.

I do not like the iPhone.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

There is no denying that the iPhone has countless great features. Everyone can say they dont like it for whatever reason, but still, its practical, and I would love to have one.

 

[Seanman]

Just jailbreaked and unlocked them, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the phone, but not $400+two year contract impressed.

Lucky they're gifts.

I've been looking for a pair of these for almost six months. Found them yesterday.

Hmm... yeah, noo... I like money in my pocket better. xD

Just bought 3 tickets to see Renee Fleming and the Russian philharmonic at some festival in Boca at the Mizner Park theater.

I've been searching for this thing for ages actually. A drive down to a Toronto mall called Square One with a friend in search for car models at a store called "Car Buffs" yielded this purchase. My heart skipped when I saw it behind the counter actually and bought it without hesitation!

Pacific Mall will usually carry trinkets like the rotary keychain. I know that area (Greater Toronto Area) very well
And I think I've been to that store before. They had a large glass window with an enormous window display of model cars, including a large-scale Ferrari Enzo. (1/12 scale maybe?)

Hmm I completely forgot about that mall, they have everything usually...

Oh and speaking of my latest purchases.

Ya new job, higher pay. So I decided to treat myself with this:


Then I bought Metric's Live at Metropolis DVD. Cause I frickin love Metric!


I also bought Martin acoustic guitar strings, Clapton's choice. Great sound outta these things!


Then this badass guitar tuner that uses light and the vibration of the strings to tune a guitar! Very unique and works very well!

GAH! I want those Porsche Design shoes soo much! But black on white though.

How do they feel?

 

[Slicks]

The back of the shoe feels a little odd, but that's only because they aren't broken in. Nice and flexible in the toe, and quite narrow. I'm not sure how long they'll last... They've got hardly any tread on them, but it seems to be quite hard rubber.

I like Metric, and I've seen many shows at Metropolis. Have you heard The Sounds or Shiny Toy Guns? They're very similar to Metric, but not Canadian.

I got me an extra large this morning because i was up all night writing an essay about the reversal of the earth's magnetic field. I was also hoping to win a new car with "roll up the rim to win" but had no luck

And today, i also got this

Dude, you'd better put those in a glass case. They're beautiful.

I'm probably going to be unsurprised, but what was the price for those bad boys?

 

[Slicks]

$130 CAD + tax. About $50 more than I was looking to spend.

And I'm not going to wear them all the time - I've got a dedicated set of shoes for when I'm at work. These will be my main pair outside of work, though.

What you've described is a pair of (apparently limited) K-Swiss shoes that I bought clearance for $30 during a trip to the United States. I bought them as driving shoe substitutes since my do-everything, thick-soled, relaxed-fit sneakers were a major nuisance for driving. They're extremely light (lighter than tennis shoes), thinly insulated, and slender. On the other hand, the laces are trash and can become undone if I'm aggressive and the shoes are difficult to clean (suede).

 

[Slicks]

Good laces, easy to clean (though probably will need to be done frequently, as they are black).
I can't emphasise enough - narrow!.

I've never found a pair before that fit so well yet are so narrow.

I have but I totally wasn't feeling them, hell I don't even usually like this type of music. I'm more into the Zeppelin/Hendrix/SRV type of music, but there's something about Metric that makes them so awesome. Plus Emily Haines is just damn 👍 there's something about her I tell ya haha......I just can't believe they've played in my town 4 times in the past 4 years and only find out once they've left.....

If you want a similar pair of Adidas race-inspired shoes for less change, the Adidas Tuscany GP's are great. I've had a pair in quilted brown leather with chalk-colored suede stripes for several years now and, save for a strange arch support that took a week or so to get used to, I love them!

I don't have a picture handy, but these are the ones with "Goodyear" on the side of the sole right at the toe arch. They mostly only come in garish color combos now, but some of the black-and-whites should still be around.

I think we should start a BMW Owners thread in the Cars In General area, now.

(Yes, I know Mini is not BMW, but they are owned by and use BMW tech. )
