My wife will not let me buy her a car other than Honda Accord or similar; I would like to buy her a BMW/Lexus/etc, but she says she would always worry about denting it and then feel bad. She is happy with her 5 year old Accord. Okay with me, I guess. Oh, I am still in my 4 year old Subaru, that works for me--I will keep it for another 5 years, hopefully, as I am not putting too much miles on it per year. Maybe next car will be a used, but in good shape, pick-up. Never owned one.
I'm like cap- I haven't bought a new board in years. Last new board I bought was back when that whole Clark foam thing happened years ago... and prices went up. You can find some sweet boards on CL that are almost new for half the price, just gotta be patient if your looking for something in particular.
i get everything from craigslist. I just have bad luck with new things.after I bought my last car right after sandy,not even 2 weeks go by,i go to a barnes and noble for 10 minutes,i parked all the way in the back.i come out theres a huge dent in my back bumper.and theres a note lol,the people covered it so it was all good. the last newish board I got from a surf shop,probably 7 years ago,paid 500.i had it sitting in the yard drying off after a surf and the next day I went for it there was a huge ding in it.i never got an explanation as to what happened,but I suggest somebody knocked a cinder block on it
This might be a stupid question but why didn't you just paddle in and toss this guy's schit in the water? That's how most surfers would handle a situation like this. At least the cool ones would.
Subaru, the lesbian car. Discuss. Ah, Barry, just a bit o' fun lad ^^ - - there's actually fact behind the lesbo car rep of Subaru. https://www.theatlantic.com/busines...-came-to-be-seen-as-cars-for-lesbians/488042/
Yes, I am trolling for lesbians--it is my lifelong ambition to be the one that "brings them back"!! And, Outbacks are great cars for surfing. Easy to place boards inside it, or, easy to put on the roof racks.
Lol Makes sense, although I haven't paid over $700 for any of my customs, including my LB. And they all last for years with tons of mileage. Another thing... I don't leave my most prized possessions sitting outside for people to steal or hit with a cinder block.
I was just going by the only boards I ever checked online which are channel islands and rustys,they are around 800 and better.too much coin for me.boards do last a long time. lol I wouldn't consider my boards my most prized possessions lol.i leave my $400 wetsuite outside hanging on a line after I surf,and I'm not the only one.my boards I can give 2 sh1ts about,but my wet suites I take top quality care of them,u can cheap out on some foam,never cheap out on the thing that keeps u from getting hypothermia
You'll love it. Just throw all kinds of stuff in the bed and go. Surfboard, cooler, jackhammer, dynamite, whatever. Of course all your friends are gonna want you to tote stuff around for em.
Easy to put stuff in, but also easy for other people to take stuff out though if you stop somewhere to get a bite to eat or whatever. Rather have a van for that reason.
Van. Winter wetsuit changes will never be the same. Waiting for wind/tide change just became much easier. Safe, dry storage. Needless I say more
