Plus you look really pretentious to other people. You will get the "hey look at that guy he needs four huge suitcases to go anywhere" looks from everyone.
I threw those attachments away before releasing what they did. It was years after I bought my first Tumi bag that I realized that lol.

Just a word of wisdom Chris... once you catch the Tumi addiction... It's all over buddy. Don't forget to post pics!!!!

Seems safe here to post just about anything within the rules. In other arenas it may be considered showing off, but all seems in fun and welcome here. I especially love the car discussions.

FYI, my name is Elmer J Fudd, I own a mansion and a yacht...sorry do not have any pics.

I agree with most here, I will never be able to afford many of the items that are shared, but I do enjoy seeing the pictures and hearing the tales...I also must say that I have been a member of other hobby/interest boards, and the membership on TRF is hands down the best I have ever experienced. There is so much knowledge, and wisdom and almost everyone is very respectful and kind, and most importantly happy to welcome folks with open arms. I have one Rolex, and that is probably all I will ever have, but it is awesome to see some of the collections!

The only thing I've found a little pretentious are the photos of a Rolex along with thousands of dollars of cash.

Trade your thoroughbred pony in for one that has more quarterhorse in the cross and keep the cherry. One must maintain standards, after all.
