Cheap but bombproof

Recommended for Cool Tools fans: Great thread on AskMeFi recommending gear that just won’t quit — everything from old Toyota Hilux pickups to Doc Martens boots to cast-iron skillets. It’s almost eerie how much this matches the stuff my friends and I fetishized in high school in Seattle, which I still feel a hitherto unarticulated draw towards. Who knew I was part of the “cheap but bombproof” psychographic?
