Ice Skates are awesome, nothing sounds like the sharp skates cutting through the ice on a tight turn. Fantastic sound and feel. Also it means you can slide on it, and more importantly play real hockey.
Would you rather drive a slightly-not-working (ie moves, but has some kinks in it) older Luxury or Sports car, or a brand new and perfectly working cheap car.
Would you rather be stuck at work with nothing to do and have air conditioning on a really hot day, or be at home with internets to surf and no cooling?
Would you rather have a huge mansion but a terrible car (something like a Sebring or a Dodge Aries), or a top of the line car (Koeningsegg, Lamborghini, etc) but live in a tiny shack?
