It boils down to disposable income, priorities and practical / common sense. We all have our niceties that we are willing to part more for. If the wifey dropped $500 or more on shoes, hand to hand tactical combat would ensue. If I were to come home wearing a Rolex I would expect the same (I never understood such things). If LB makes a decent buck and those boots do it for her, go for it. Now Cohibas and Dalwhinnie 15 yr Scotch is a whole 'nother story.

since this thread is wandering a bit, heres a photo of my freshly cleaned Boxster in the snow. We have had a lot of snow for the Seattle area, people have been freaking out for about a week. I live up a steep hill and so far made it up about 7 out of the 8 times. I found out how bad bald Conti's on the rear are. I dropped a pair of fronts from a C4S that have Pirelli snows. Next year I will have a full set of Blizzaks on the 17's that should make it a bit more fun.

And as far as shoes go, I appreciate quality but will not spend more than $160 for a pair of top quality hiking boots or Nomex driving shoes.

994boy,

What a great opportunity to get a picture! A clean black car (with the top dropped) contrasted against a snow white scene. The best would be right after a fresh snow fall when there aren't any footprints, maybe some trees in the background covered in snow. I hope it snows here in OKC because I'll be breakin' out the camera.

Dave

This thread needs to be revisited. And I needed to make this.
