Alpo Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Just saw an ad. Sunglasses. Manly men, wearing the sunglasses. Manly men doing manly things - driving fast cars, shooting guns, fishing. Manly things. And they announced, in the ad, that the company was established in the '80s. I'm thinking - so? If it had said the company was established in the 30s, well then yeah, that's a long well-established company. And then I realized the '80s was 45 years ago. To some 30-something looking for a pair of sunglasses that's a well-established company with a long business history. 2 3 1 Quote

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Think about this: 1914 to 1970 is the same span as 1970 to today. I'm going to go lay down now. 2 2 1 Quote

The chassis has been reinforced with titanium, the suspension has been repeatedly modified, there are replacement parts in several systems, and some worn or damaged components have been removed! NHRA would classify it as “Modified Production” subject to use of standard fuels and would bump it into “Gas Altered” when certain additives are employed! 😜 1 3 Quote
