I'm not sure what they changed but I whenever I put their hats in the wash now letters fall off. After just a couple light washes it only says DA. My other one says DIDA. Been buying the exact same hat for years.

Been switching to Puma lately and quite happy with it.

Hmmm... I'm not a hat guy. But I truly with all manufacturers would stick to actual stitching. Adhesive does not hold up in the dryer. Especially tiny stickers.
I used to be diehard Nike. But over the years, Nike has gotten outta hand expensive and Adidas has a much larger variety in aparrel IMO.

We recently did this at-home test that was proctored for a cruise we took in February. It could not have been easier.

A few tips:
1. When you initially register, make sure to use the name that matches exactly on the identification you plan to use.

2. Test out the lighting and camera beforehand to ensure the camera can scan the bar code and pick up results, etc.

3. Once you begin the test, do not let your laptop or tablet go to screensaver during the 15 minute waiting period (this begins as soon as you swab your nose), otherwise the app logs you out and when you log back in, you have to start a brand new test.

4. Set up your testing space ahead of time...for example, when you swab your nose and then place the test stick in the package, make sure that is set someplace where you can't knock it onto the floor, etc.....otherwise, that invalidates the test.

5. I picked up all of these and other tips on YouTube - just search for that test and you will find videos of people taking them.

I just made my first Carvana purchase. I've never done an internet purchase sight unseen before, but I found the perfect spec with low miles and I couldn't resist. I lose my delivery fee of $590 if the car is a stinker, but it will be an interesting new experience for me!

I've been looking for a few months now for a manual MKVII in white with the performance pack (LSD and brakes) to be my new daily, replacing the BMW i3. This might be the last really good ICE GTI, and I drove an MKII in High School, so this is kind of coming full circle for me.

I considered the Golf R, but I wanted a moonroof to be honest. I'm not looking for the fastest car, just the most enjoyable drive. The lighter, but not as powerful GTI was right up my ally.

2019 VW GTI SE, Performance Pack, Lighting Package, Manual, only 11k miles, still under factory warranty! I take delivery next week if all goes well. Crossing my fingers.

Here's the car if anyone's interested: https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/2048031

First step is to remove the tint, then full PPI and oil change. Then inspect tires and replace with proper MPS4S.
