Ok,

 

When I cared about what I wore, I don't remember an article of clothing costing more than maybe $20 - $30. Recently I overheard the name "Von Dutch" as being the newest in the trendy clothing line. I wandered out to their site, and what did I see?

The above hat costs $85US. That isn't a typo. Eighty Five Dollars. If I'm not mistaken, its just a mesh hat, right? I've got a few John Deere hats just like it that I got for free. Why are kids paying upwards of $100 for this trash? I don't get it. They also have on their website, if you're interested, $275 pants, and $93 shirts. Garbage, I tell ya.

I agree w/ you, I don't think I would pay money for or wear a mesh trucker hat. I dunno if you've ever been in Abercrombie and Fitch but there prices are horrible too.

 

I do a lot of my shopping at American Eagle which is pretty reasonable and I usually just catch the sales and snag everything for about 50 percent off. I went there the other day and got a pair of khakis, three shirts, a jacket (i'm talking a real nice heavy jacket) for about 65 bucks. Can't complain about that and you couldn't even buy that hat for that much.

 

You know that these kids aren't buying these for themselves, there parents are forking over insane amounts of money for them. Just spoiled rich kids not learning the value of a dollar.

HA....you guys need to come where I live....people dress up to go grocery shopping. I swear I have seen girls out in clubbing clothes with a cart full of food. Now I'm not busting on south florida, because it is VERY easy on the eyes.

That's the only thing I like about down here....the hot chicks in tight pants at the grocery store, and the fact that I can wear shorts in January.

If some one can explain the difference between$100 guess jeans, and the $30 carhart jeans, lemme have it

One is a good quality pair of pants and the other has a trendy label on it.

 

 

 

What I don't get is when I go shopping w/ my girlfriend at the same store the pants she gets cost more than the ones I get. I mean, I'm bigger than her and my pants have probably twice the amount of material. Logicallly I would think that her pants would be cheaper. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention in economics 101.

:P I even got a hat there once for $3

 

Whats funny is that the people wearing the Von Dutch stuff probably have never even seen the eyeball with wings.

I haven't found a 30 dollar pair of Carhart Jeans that last yet.. $50 levi's is where it's at :P

 

 

 

Most of Von Dutch's clothing has gotten costlier because of Ashton Kutcher and all the skate board guys wearing it.

I know what cha mean man .

 

I can get three times as much clothes as my g/f gets for the same price for some reason she likes that stuff that costs 80 bucks for a shirt . :P

Lynchburg Jobbing house....in lynchburg va...that was back in 2001, they might be more expensive now....people want to look trendy....like they're a carpenter or something. Me..I buy em because they come in my size. You know how hard it is to find a 36inch inseam (that doesn't come with a 50 inch waist)...how come in normal stores you either find clothes for people that are short and skinny, or really tall and fat??? I don't think making a pair of jeans with a 38 waist and 36 inseam is to difficult. Once in a while you can find them in old navy, but eveything i always seem to find is 46-34....or 28-36....now come on...if you have a 28 inch waist and 36 inch inseam you gotta eat a steak once in a while man....I'm not gonna even start with shoes....I wear a 17.....unless I want to wear the newest Air "insert basketball star name here" shoe....I gotta order new balance....it is funny though...walking into a shoe store and asking for a 17.....they measure my foot, tell me I'm a 15 and bring me shoes I could never dream of wearing....I havn't worn a 15 since I was 15.

 

Funny story though, when I was in high school, I was acting like a dick in class, and the teacher told me to act my age not my shoesize....LOL....I told her I was....needless to say....I got to stay after class and have a talk.

:P I like these new smilies

I feel your pain.

 

I take a 34x36 pant and can't find squat ever. I only take a 14 in shoes, but that's hard to find too. I'm just past the cutoff point of "normal" sized people I guess so I get shafted.

 

My other big complaint is shirts. I've noticed that they don't seem to get longer w/ increased size, they just get wider. I take a medium or a large (even though I'm 6'4" and 200 pounds) because I'm not really fat, but the sleeves and even the shirt itself isn't long enough. Just frustrating, I really hate going shopping becaus nothing I like ever fits right.

HELL YES...I hate shirts...If i get a XL.....they fit till I wash them, then they are like half shirts. PITA....sometimes I can find "tall" shirts that are longer, and they're great, but that's few and far between

most of the "tall" shirts I ever find at stores like kohls are for people who are 8' tall it seems. man, i wish stores would cater to more people. i mean, a 36" inseam can not be that uncommon that stores shouldn't carry them in stock. I actually settle for a 36 which is actually a little shorter than I would like, but trying to find a 37 or 38 would be dang near impossible.

Apparently you guys have lost touch with today's youth. :lol:

 

These kids are getting this crap cause they see their idols wearing it.

 

I'm willing to bet if Ashton Kutcher, or Justin Timberlake smeared feces all over themselves, and called it a fahsion, guess what these kids will be doing? :thumbs:

 

The parents will probably be relieved! I can see it now.

 

Dad: "Honey, I've got GREAT news!"

 

Mom: "HOORAY! You got little Johhny to stop following fashion fads?"

 

Dad: "No, Johhny's outside smearing dog-crap all over himself, but I just saved us a TON of money by switching to GEICO! WHOO HOO!"

 

:P

That was great. I think you should email that suggestion to Geico for the next commercial. You could change it up a bit for an "I lowered my cholesterol" commercial too.

 

 

And as for being like their idols, dang kids are all sheep. they need to be more original.

Yeah...people are pretty f**king stupid. I wear Carhart stuff and stuff from Sears. Free stuff too. I really see no point in buying $90 jeans made to look dirty. How about buying a $40 pair of new looking jeans and making them dirty? Does a dusting of dirt cost $50 now?

 

Edit...

d**n, I just went to their site...WTF is wrong with people? They have work shirts for $93! I have a really good one that cost $20! $73 to have "Von Dutch" over one pocket. That is insane.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
