Swan (I'd wish...)

God, man, I'll send you some over if it means that much to you...

 

[Dr.Gargoyle]

God, man, I'll send you some over if it means that much to you...

My Saviour!
When you are still at it, could you perhaps send me one of these too? Anyone will do...

 

[Dr_Maybe]

Swan (I'd wish...)

Nautor's Swan boats are nice. I think a lot of the nordic brands are. X-yachts and Arcona for instance.

I had no idea you were so gangsta, foo.

 

[DakotaGuy]

Yamaha- I love it all. ATV's, motorcycles, snowmobiles, audio equipment, musical instruments, etc

Apple- Computers and the iPod.

Bose- Speakers, Wave Radio, and my noise cancelling headphones

Abercrombie- Fun casual clothes

Eddie Bauer- Clothes for work and outdoors activities

Kenmore Appliances- They are well built and last forever!

Ford Motor Company- If you want to see a well produced documentary series check out www.fordboldmoves.com If you ever wondered what the auto industry was like behind closed doors, you will get to see it here. They are at Episode 9 and have new episodes weekly. It would be cool to see inside Apple like this, but I know they would never allow it.

Obviously, Apple. Others:


Lotus: The Elise is sex on wheels

yes, apple, that's why i joined macrumors

but i just saw a lotus elise for the first time tonight...wow...and the stats on the thing are amazing, and especially the price (base 43k) usd

and i thought the dodge viper or the acura nsx were the best sportscars dollar for dollar, and while a version of the viper is the fastest car in the world that is street legal, and the nsx keeps up with cars three times its price, they are still in the neighborhood of two times more expensive than the elise

lotus, very well done

 

[63dot]

Pabst Blue Ribbon
Fender

for the same reason i like the lotus...good product for money...i think pabst is actually not all that bad for it's very low cost...i don't think the more expensive coors or budweiser are all that much different, or better

of course, i like anchor steam or guinness far better, but those beers are in different price categoy altogether

...

fender, the amercian standard series, which is about their midline product line, is a great instrument and far less expensive than all its competitors' midline electric guitars

gibson's studio series, japanese made ibanezes, and esp standard series guitars, though they are very nice, and companies' midline offerings, are a few hundred dollars higher than fender's flagship standbys, the stratocaster and telecaster

and some guitars, like parker, tom anderson, and paul reed smith are priced so high it so far out of reach of most musicians and in a different category, much like anchor steam and guinness, are in a different category to pabst and not fair comparing

...

oh, and tutima automatic and manual watches...they are a great deal for the money and comparable to swiss watches that are twice as expensive but simply don't have the name like omega and rolex

 

[Killyp]

Just to name a few:
Bang & Olufsen

For me it would be:

HiFi/AV - Bang & Olufsen

Furniture - Presotto / Rolf Benz
