And just like modern BMWs, they are stuck in the shop with broken sensors that are waiting to be fixed by the manufacturer after being forced to admit they fucked up.

Back in the 1980's I had a pretty nice-looking RoleK. Some guy pulled a knife on me and took it. I was out $10.

Being someone who’s actually owned (and sold off) some Rolex watches, my issue is that their prices have risen so much faster than inflation that they’ve become Supreme-like Veblen goods. Rolex always made a tough tool watch priced a bit higher than their Swiss tool watch competition, but, compared to ‘60s-‘70s…

I’ll stick with my double edge safety razor.  100 blades for about $10 and it’s the best shave I’ve had.  I used to get pimples all the time using a Mach 3, I literally never get them now.

For the longest time Cowboy Bebop was the show you’d show people who weren’t into Anime. Because it completely transcends the genre.

At risk of exposing the hopeless anime nerd that I am, I’ve watched well over 700 different anime.... and I’m not sure there is another that makes a person feel the same way that Cowboy Bebop does... That’s why it’s so special. Though there are are plenty of shows with as much or more impact in different ways... But…

Still searching... I really enjoyed Samurai Champloo as well.

At the extent of sounding too much of a fan boy here (which anyone who has watched Cowboy Bebop would understand), I have yet to find an anime that makes me feel the way CB did. Does anyone have any recos of an anime similar?

I think Spike goes back because ultimately he knows he can’t run away from his past—it’s what he’s been doing this entire time. Hence the reveal that he’s actually blind in one eye. One eye sees the present, but the other eye is constantly in the past.
