I so want watch, tool set, & sunglasses
Uh-oh for me.

I have a UNIQLO shirt that a friend bought for me when she went home for New Years. Biggest size they make. But, I'm 6'3" and ~230lbs. No way in hell it will fit me.

Okay then I did see them then, but there was no info on them. Thanks though.

Oh and the watch, I wouldn't pay that much for what material and design was put into it. I believe from what I've read it was a Citizen watch and of course its a limited edition so I can see why it costs that much.

No love for Piloti shoes?

One of these two might be my first "mod," or a car-warming gift for myself

Personally, I'm going to pull out my 2011 concords when I go to pick up my car. The car needs epic shoes, not these ugly things people are showing.

You know I never really stepped into the realm of driving shoes but I've always figured I SHOULD sooner or later because it might increase the joy of my driving experience.

What's it like? I mean my footwork is reasonable with heavy work boots, stiff dress shoes, and sneakers of varying flex and weight. The only thing I absolutely hate is flip flops (the beach) or bare footed (shuffling cars in the driveway) driving. What makes a driving shoe a DRIVING SHOE? I could possibly Google it but I'm not sure I'll get the answer I'm looking for. Fit and comfort aside, I always figured it had to do with weight and/or flex (specifically of the soles)? Personally, I'm more inclined towards a well-weighted shoe that flexes a little more than a dress shoe but not as much as an everyday sneaker. Am I over thinking this?

lol I have some faded glory knock offs.

I love using them when driving.

I see your Concords and raise you the Breds instead.

Although I don't like driving in them.

My Breds are still in good condition, but I'm interested in buying this years version to see if they're worth copping. In case you haven't heard yet Jordan brand is going to retail the XI's $200 and the IV's are going to be $180.

Since I almost have every shoe I wanted so far I think I'm almost done with the shoe game or more likely just be done with Jordan price rip-offs.

Real driving shoes usually have thin soles so you can feel the pedals and have some level of fire resistance. That way when the car catches on fire your shoes don't catch right after that.

I usually don't bother with special shoes for driving on the street and autocrossing. I did buy a pair when I was doing HPDE's but it was mostly to help me get in the right mindset more than any tangable reason.
