Go on, admit it. It's a man purse.
Give it a year or two. I've had the small bifold in chestnut for maybe 7 years now and it looks infinitely better than it did when it was new. The finish on a brand new one is fairly matte and unremarkable, but after years in my pockets and various sorts of abuse, it's developed a nice sheen and is far softer than it was new. It's the piece of Saddleback anything that I own, but I'm a fan.Quote:

Big skinny wallet. Going on 10 years and mine still looks new. Hate fat wallets. Minimalism at its best.

I have a 52 year old friend who has had the same velcro nylon wallet since he was 15. Lost and found twice. The velcro doesn’t really work any more.
As a collector of vintage gear, Van's shoes, etc my experience has been that even when something's built to last a lifetime we grow tired of things. Newer designs, innovation, different features cause us to walk back that "forever" thought more often than not.
A gun and one bullet.
Buy enough "Forever" stamps and you're all set.
I bet I have a couple hundred stamps somewhere. I’ve bought more than 1 roll that has been lost somewhere in the house and lots of sheets. I feel like I probably pay for 5 or 6 stamps for every one I use. Good thing I don’t mail much.Quote:

I'm sure some of my tools will probably make it, but i wouldn't bet on which they will be. Most are pretty cheap. If I actually wear them out then I'll consider buying better ones. I can't imagine I'd break my jack stands given their construction and how infrequently I use them, so I'll bet on them.
I can't imagine any of my wardrobe making it the hopeful 45+ years I have left, nor my shoes, though I resole the nicer ones. I also like energetic dogs. That lowers the possibility a bit.
HA! Das a gud vun.Quote:

Not very exciting, but definitely the end-all.
I used to think my Toyota Tacoma was an EOL truck. It's 7 years old with 70k km, it should be good for at least 300k km which at present usage puts me at about 75yo. The only problem is I'll probably want a new one when they come out with all electric ones and gas is $20/l.
On a completely different level than anything mentioned before, but this morning my 2.5 year old son and I were having a tea party with his little tin tea set. It was just really nice and I suspect that if he has kids someday, they'll be able to play with the same tea set when they come to visit (and maybe his kids' kids if I happen to be still around). It just has a totally different feel than most of his plastic toys.
I've got a real horse race going with these bad boys. It's neck and neck.

My old 1960 Willys CJ5 was gonna be a lifetime purchase. Unfortunately I fell asleep driving it and things didn't end well. 25 years later and it still bugs me that I did that.
Well you're still alive, it didn't end all that badly.
That's a bad case of the gout you got going thereQuote:

Well this Otzi right here bought a new hip about 10 days ago. I sure hope it's a keeper.
As long as you didn't put it on layaway.Quote:

This old steel Guerciotti. I’m not fast enough to need a lighter/fancier bike. Although, I may actually die on it due to how people drive...
I picked up a damn near mint '84 Schwinn Airdyne last week. It's a tank, everything but the seat is steel. Should be good for at least another 35 years of ass kicking.
