Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Actually, a pair of glasses can be worth $500. When you consider the fact that they are created using proper design elements and actually shift a lot of the normal paradigms. This level of creativity and intellectual property is worth money. You pay for the fact that 2-5 years later (even less in this day and age), someone will copy it, make it out of cheaper materials and proceed to sell it at a fraction of the cost. Hiring top level designers, manufacturers and professionals generally costs a lot of money. A lot of designs aren't successful. Shipping and distribution over here isn't cheap. Labour in first world countries isn't cheap.

For major peices, I will always buy genuine - not necessarily from a retail store here though. Things are cheaper in the states or UK if you know where to look however, buying hooky products is a no go for me. I buy brand name because of quality, R&D and presence - not for poser status. If you look in my wardrobe, you can see which suits are worth dollars and which are the cheapies (of which there is only 1).

So in short, a pair of glasses can be worth $500. A watch can be worth $10k. And if we want to encourage creative minds to constantly develop new shit for our consumption, we shouldn't bicker over a few dollars.

Mine have lasted me almost 5 years (despite the fact I need new prescription) and they don't live in their case... They live in the bottom of my gym bag, beach bag, Zanes car, my car, the bench, floor, study, back of the couch... If they aren't on my face they are strategically dropped somewhere... Worth the money!

    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.     
    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
