As contrasted with "Do you like me?".

Are you lazy? Impatient?

Do you have low minimum standards for acceptable aesthetics?

Is your wife/significant other incredibly accepting of his/her living space?

Then forget the inferiority-complex inducing pursuit of trying to emulate Martinelli or Epstein. Surrender to the dark side, characterized by being the easy way out (as usual).

This stuff is GREAT!

It's not every day that you see 12 year old sales pages still up and clickable. Shocked

Boss is a very trusted and reliable brand (no, I don't work for or with them) so I guess I'm not that surprised to see them there.

But still.......who needs 300 watts?

The kids these days with their low riders and tricked out Honda Accords. They're the main offenders, and then you have your average working Joe who shares the 2 bedroom apartment with 8 other people so he can afford to drive around with a system like he has something to prove.

That would be my guess.

You get it for the bragging rights. Like the people with $300 dollar sports shoes. You don't need them, no one NEEDS 300 dollar shoes, you just want them really bad.

I know exactly what you are talking about. There is a large group of kids that hang out at our local Dunkin Donuts and I could see one of them having these in the back of their car. It's very interesting that the lights glow to the beat of the bass. I wouldn't be caught dead with these in my ride!

And then because of all the aftermarket distractions, they have an accident and wind up in the hospital. Between that bill and raised insurance rate, they end up selling the car for scrap so they can pay the bills.

Reality has a way of turning off the lights

No way I am going to have those near my car(they look scary). Perhaps a younger version of myself would have liked this. However, the Boss brand is a good and reputable one and I think that we get value for money when purchasing their products.

No one needs them, but we all want them, don't we. If we are honest with ourselves, there's a lot of stuff in our houses that we wanted but didn't need. It's just nice to have.

I guess it all comes down to a matter of personal preference (and age...) but having said that, you still can't deny that it's real quality products and good value for money.

I'm in agreement that it is probably our age and the fact that we are now more into impressing our bosses not the other kids around the neighborhood. I, myself, am going sheik not sheen!
