The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

[barrelntrigger]

Morning Spoo!

@Takai bro, after seeing you pull The Viridi Anne I'm stoked to see what other grails you could pull from that one store by your house? Maybe next time we'll see some Undercoverism? Visvim? nonnative? Damn, I'm getting so stoked!

Great song

It was one of those days with not much to do
I was chilling downtown with my old skool crue
i went in a store to buy a slice of pizza
and pumped into a girl her name was mona, mona lisa.
what

i can imagine someone blasting that with loose screws in the car rattling like an aluminium can thrown down the street.

I have done more custom audio installs, than times you've guessed your size wrong. and am about to do another install this week. more than happy to help a productive member with a fun project for his lady.

I was making fun of your fits, but thanks for reminding me that you can't measure either. But hey atleast you have decent taste in sneakers!

Valentino SC Camelhair, patch pockets. Too big for me.

Are these PRL grey wool trousers corn?

 

[thefastlife]



Tie sections have been good to me lately. Found even more, such as 14 Talbotts at one stop, but i'll just include my favorites of them. All N/A because I have a hoarding problem.

Spoiler: Warning: flip talk!

those colorful talbott ties go for $$$$ fyi, sold the same tie in this photo for ~$100 binobo in about 10 mins.

Dude, I like that I can mess with you about **** and you don't freak out. Haha.

Yeah. Looks like old PRL label. Blue used to be corn even at that point for the italy stuff if I'm not mistaken.

listen, audio heads.

when i was 17, i bought a JBL tube subwoofer at Circuit City, and some random like 100 watt amp. They installed the amp and I connected the wires to the woofer myself. I drove a Jeep grand cherokee at the time, and that subwoofer was duct taped to the back wall. I put on Slick Ricks mona lisa and thought I had the most booming system in the entire hood.

So yeah, you bitches just got owned.

Seventeen, the only way I had a car
Is after I dropped my mama off where she needed to go
Four bald tires, with the ceiling falling and the window stuck
But the only thing that I cared about was the radio
We'd turn it on, turn it up to ten, and everybody would jump on in.

My 64 Valiant still has the original resin/paper cone speakers. I bump them, bump them I tell you.

For DANVPROD,
Are you selling the two medium Willis & Geiger sweaters here? I'm interested.

Just a sampling of discount three for one sale. Not used to
having new stuff!

 

[My Main Man]

My first car was a little older than me. A brown '81 Impala. It had an AM radio that didn't work at all so I duct taped a boom box to the front seat. I had Manowar's 'Kings of Metal' stuck in the tape player for months. Best sound system ever.

 

[hbkshin]

Heh. My first car was a BMW. Dad got it for me since I go something like a 1520 on the SATs or something like that.
