Black Friday Experience
 
I didn't get to buy anything, I'll just buy online.

Line at Fry's Electronics was EASILY 6,000 people. It wrapped the entire complex, which is gigantic.


Me and my bro pulled in the White Supra. No cats, HKS Carbon Ti, Single Turbo, External WG, blah blah blah. This shit is loud as hell.

Almost everyone there is Asian, all of them know what a Supra is.

I swear, I have never heard more, "Holy Shit, a Supraaaa!!!!" than at that place. I also had a few "Is it Turbo?" despite the incredibly loud HKS SSQ BOV that was constantly going off. We drove by the entire line, soaked up the reactions, felt like cool dudes. Then we went to the Best Buy next door, did the same. Then we went back to Frys to see people sprinting inside, with the employees trying to hold people back. But when the Supra rolls by, they all slow down and stare.


I'm a mega nerdy guy. I don't get much attention. And where I live, Flower Mound, there's just old people who don't take a second glance.


Needless to say, I filled my big ego quota for the year.


How was your BF experience? Actually buy anything?

I'm doing half & half. Half actually going there & half online.

I just finished shopping at Old Navy and now time for Sears and buy some Craftsman tools (I need new set)

Damn, are there good deals on tools? I've lost lots of mine because I never clean up after working on cars.

Although maybe I should put that money toward fixing up the garage...

I saw people outside of Best Buy at 10am today, it's absolutely crazy! I was out drinking in Dallas tonight, that's pretty close to Flower Mound right?

Haha, yeah, FM is part of the DFW metroplex. It's actually just 8-10 minutes away from DFW airport.

Not even worth trying to get electronics at the store no more. Only for clothes and such. Cyber Monday is much better to find electronics.

Black Friday is a no driving day for me. Haven't found any deals I'd want to pounce on online either. Just seems like cheap electronics you wouldn't normally give a second glance that make the "good deals" list now.

So you were just driving around to show off the Supra? Because if I actually wanted to park and go shopping, I'd definitely have taken a beater.

Like I said! Gotta fill my ego quota!! :thumbup:

But yeah, in retrospect it was such a waste of time. We couldn't even buy anything we wanted and we wasted away good sleeping time.

No, we actually wanted to buy things but when we saw that line, we knew that there was no way we could even get into the store, do we didn't.

Dave-ROR 11-25-2011 01:24 PM

I don't even bother. Saving 300 bucks isn't worth the time to me.

keiri 11-25-2011 02:28 PM

I go every year that I can...I actually like the whole manic, anxious shoppers trying to break their necks to get merchandise that isn't really that cheap anyway.

...Must be the years of working Black Friday sales during college. I'm immune to the overwhelming crowds really. I did happen to purchase 2 games at WalMart and bought a pea coat for the missus online at Old Navy.
