thrift stores are great. the ones in small towns are the best. that's where you seem to find the coolest stuff.

when my band toured across western canada (we made it as far as winnipeg) we made sure to stop in every thrift store in every little s#!thole town we played in.  ;) . mostly vintage clothes scores and old lp's, some cool old pint glasses, some old instruments.

my girlfriend is a thrift store hound. she loves to buy clothes and can get quite alot of cool stuff without breaking the bank.

plus it's a form of recycling.

and you know what they say...one mans trash is another mans treasure.

I saw a 4 lug Beetle wheel at VV once.  I think that was the only time I was in there.
