    When you really love Harbor Freight - photo

    A window sticker featuring Harbor Freight's U.S. General brand. Is this real? I wonder how many tool brands exist for which I would even ask that question.

    Nah, he's probably bragging about his grandson. One in a succession of bumper stickers, middle school honor student, cub scout,...

    If you look closely he has a Snap On tool box. Must be the owner of Harbor Freight.

    I wonder if Harbor Freight fanboyism will be like a hipster thing, like how Pabst became really cool in a campy sort of way, perhaps in response to the rise of microbreweries.

    I doubt it. Eric Smidt lives in Los Angeles. His previous residence nearby sold for 39,000,000. A 125k AMG GTS would be just a skateboard.
    If it is, I've only paid for one of the license plate screws. It's very google-able; there's been trouble in paradise.
    Might US General be a division of, with it's own director? Maybe...

    my neighbor leased SL600 that used to be owned by a guy that owned Lambos Ferrari's etc.
    This $120K car from the 90's was a car that his wife would take everyday trips like "groceries". It was a car that they didn't car if it get door dings from Toyota corolla parked next to it.

    They eventually crashed the car into NJ barriers ripping up the whole driver side of the car and the insurance repaired it and then went to Mercedes Dealer to be a Lease or used for sale.
