    Someone just lost their super single rom and all in front of me.

    rolled like a hot wheel tire directly into the path of a Camry. Camry’s entire front end is gone.

    Guy kept on truckin’ must not realize there’s a weight station 5 miles north and not exits until after the station.

    Has anyone purchased frank or nick boots out of the PNW. I've seen mixed reviews and also the price is a bit expensive as a pair runs you around $600 dls.

    If anyone has had a pair I would appreciate it yalls input.

    Same thing happened on 94 in October up by me. Killed my ex-girlfriend's old classmate and one member of her family. Sent two to the hospital with major injuries. I always make a point to count lug nuts now.

    Nicks are good boots. My brother wore out a pair of their caulks, had them rebuilt, and wore them out again.

    If you're going to spend that kind of money though I'd go for Wesco. I've been wearing them for years and they really hold up. They're rebuildable too and that's a good deal. I have a pair of caulks that have been rebuilt twice and a pair of their fire boots that are still on their first rebuild.

    Can't say I have any experience with the brand. I usually stick with Merrell which go for about 1/4 of the pair you are looking at. $600 is about 20 hours of work for some of us, so I am also curious if anyone else that has this type of discretionary income has any experience with them.

    If you live in your boots these are well worth a look.
    I am on my second rebuild and will outlast me.

    My Red Wings serve me well. I typically get 4 years out of a pair I pay a little less than half that for.
