i did cheap out on the clothes right off the bat. i had to get clothes for mon-thur (friday casual), so going to buy high-end stuff in that quantity would have been tough (i already spent $640 on track rubber & a late addition track day 6/23 this week). i suspect i will add better stuff as i go, i just needed stuff like now. with my weight loss i have a few pair of good clothes that all hang off me now, i may work those into the rotation.
you guys hit the nerve on "chicks recognize cheap clothes" cause you KNOW i am looking for the ladies favors... my tall, dark, handsome look, and then my wit is usually the hook that gets them in the boat. i think chicks pretty much imagine me nude whenever they see me anyway

...
thanks for the advise, and i think the fact that i use one of those tiny ironing boards may contribute. maybe i will put a WTB add in the classified here for a new board...
