3. It depends

Friday

When I was a young idiot I favored Chevy small block V8s because of the easy availability of high performance parts.

My bicycles all have Shimano parts for much the same reason.

I am on my 2nd Subaru Forester. It'd take a lot to move me from those cars.

Basically I stay with what has given me acceptable performance at an acceptable price.

Oh, I do like my Crocs.

I don't have any brand loyalty when it comes to clothes.
