There was a tiny little car dealership on the side of the road that I stopped in once when I was 16. Was looking at a Camaro outside. I noticed there was the benchseat out of something serving as a seating area for customers. The seat belts and buckles were left on it and still functioning. I always wondered what for. I could just imagine some hapless customer strapped to the thing and being forced to sign the paperwork. Funny story with that dealership, but it's not my thread, so I'll save it for another time.

You really should be selling said old recaro to me instead.

Does pulling a decent condition recliner out of the trash count as grassroots?

No. That would mean that you work in a firehouse.

I've got a spare Corbeau Forza that I keep threatening to turn into an office chair. Someday. Maybe over the break.

I made an office chair out of a Honda Accord bucket seat that I had sitting around. Best chair I've ever had. Such a shame I wore it out.
