$2200 (not counting tax and shipping) for a ****ing tire.

And you only get half of it.

What the hell!?! I helped the owner of the gym I go to get some take-offs from a tractor dealer for like $100 each.

I could see a gym buying one of these - a lot safer than flipping actual tires (which would also require a lot more room). The nordic trac is still the king for me though - everytime I think cross country skiing would be fun, I remember how boring it is. But I guess less cold inside.

I wish I were in the room when the advertisers were discussing those ads.

"So it's just a women making a motion like she is jacking a guy off?"

"Pretty much."

"Run with it."

The Thigh Master, as advertised by Suzanne Somers way back when.

I know, because I bought one, thinking it might be an easy, cheap way to work out at home on my heavier-than-I'd-like thighs.

Oh, I tried it -- once. And knew I'd never use it again.

I never did.

Look at this! It’s a clothes drying rack I can ski on!

I like how these thread titles are becoming more like clues from the $25,000 Pyramid.

My gym has two, I think.

We're traditionalists, just have a treadmill in the garage that's gathering dust.
