Vacation Blues

So I am catching up on some reading and relaxing before heading out on vacation and I run across this. Looks like I could have saved some cash...

Will do, and I figured this could double for an "is it safe" substitute

OMG I hate Stauer and their Ads!!! Reading them makes me want to vomit. I've been wanting to write the magazines and explain why they should remove them. For instance I used to have a Motor Trend subscription. I go from reading about a $80+ sports car to a POS Stauer ad. It's just bad. Why don't they get even Seiko to advertise in there!!?? Would be way better than these losers.

We could corner the market if we move fast before word gets out.

Seiko and Stauer should not be mentioned in the same rant

I think this was Road and Track...
