Retire 'em?

  1. Hell yes, throw 'em in the trash.

  2. Hell no, keep on weaing them until they literally won't stay on your body.

    I've got a few like that - very cool in a hot summer. I like 'em threadbare! Usually one of my kids opens up a hole on the back when I'm wearing it, which spells the end. Well, not the end, but a new beginning in the rag bag in the man cave.

    If you have kids or grandkids - box them up. They'll love having them one day.

    If not... time to stop wearing them either way. ;)

    Rag bin? Oh jeez no.
    They are just entering their useful life as exotic detailing cloths. Buy another car & put them to good use

    I think it's time to get another 308 and keep the shirts

    I've created a beloved shirt wall. The shirts that mean the most to me get put on a hanger and mounted on the wall for all time. Or it could be cut up and the best part framed.

    Some good ideas. For the record I don't wear these outside of around home. :)

    Unlike a Picasso, pretty sure the authorities won't be standing at your door should you decide to reproduce a few more! :) yes, they look like they've reached the end of their life cycle... about four years ago! LOL
    In my teenage years, used to wear my Nikes until the sides were blown out, man! Loved those shoes!

    If you don't own the product; don't wear/own the shirt/hat! Give them away, use them for rags, whatever. Nothing LESS cool than wearing a shirt/hat for something you don't own/somewhere you haven't been/some product you don't use/support!

    I just sold a Hatteras boat that we have owned for many years - gave away all my Hatteras and Detroit Diesel shirts/hats.

    Interestingly, although I do wear a few shirts/hats for a couple of brand items, I own nothing with a Ferrari logo...except a 328! For some reason, wearing Ferrari stuff doesn't appeal to me at all. But wearing Norton (motorcycle) shirt/hat or a Martin Guitar shirt does. Go Figure... ;)

    Jdubbya... Thought you were taming your backyard this summer. If so, those would be great for toiling in the summer sun...T

    Seriously? How does F1, NASCAR or any other racing series sell apparel? I owned the car for 12 years I think that pretty much gives me the right to wear what I want. :)

    I am. Was out there yesterday toiling some more. Getting closer to finishing a couple small areas off soon. And I do wear them for stuff like that. Working around the house, washing the car etc. :)

    Seriously...99% of people will see those as lame and you as more lame as you wander around wearing them...but to each his own.

    And 100% of that 99% can kiss my ass. :D I don't care.

    But...I already said I don't wear them out in public since they are in such an advanced stage of wear. Did I used to? Yep. And as for lame there were quite a few folks here who bought them when they were made.

    Geez people take themselves and some things too seriously. I posted this as mainly a joke, but now I might just wear them out in public and see what people think just to piss some of you off. ;)

    Who me? I do still have a bunch of parts I keep saying I'm going to sell but never get around to doing. I am tired of 'em taking up room in my garage though. One of these days! :)
