I mean, if you went it, spent your monies on oil and filters and they handed it to you...what would your reaction be? I think I would take it home and add it to my collection of hats (Im up to 4!) and never once put it on my head.

Even I, who once saved Wheaties boxtops for a little John Elway football, would say no - mostly because of the mail-in-rebate thing. If they were just handing out the hat, I’d say sure and maybe wear it twice.

Nope - go back and forth between a Jets hat a one with a Sikorsky helicopter on it.

I would decline it on the mail - in rebate alone, which probably means you ’ re out $10 while you wait for a check that ’ s too small to waste your time taking to the bank, but won ’ t work with your bank ’ s iPhone app because a lot of security features don ’ t photograph well, so then you have to go stand in line at that big red & yellow bank that will open 5 credit cards in your name as soon as you leave. So not worth it.

yeah, the mail in rebate thing kinda kills the promotional nature of the givaway here...but if they just handed it to you?

If they gave it to me in the store, and it wasn’t a mail-in rebait thing, yes I’d ware it for heavy outdoor choors like mowing the lawn or chopping wood.

I think the circumstances surrounding me wearing this would be when operating my tin boat without a shirt.

Not a matter of being too cool for hats. I’ve got the grey stocking cap that I just took off hanging behind me as I type this. I just don’t care for baseball caps. That one in particular.

No. The only hats I wear are for keeping my head warm in the winter.

I just don’t think I could wear it. I would donate it. It just has a little too much Jeff Gordon vibe to it, I can’t put my finger on it.

I have a bunch of Big Kmart clothing, including hats and shirts that I wear when I’m feeling trashy. It’s from back in the day of Newman-Hass Indy Car team so it’s Kmart logo’s on DKNY polo’s.

They won’t cover my ears. Proper ear coverage is essential in a warm winter hat.

I used to be a sucker for free stuff when I was younger, but I try to avoid things like that now.

I still have a Valvoline blanket (I think it was from a motor oil coupon) around somewhere that I never bothered to take out of its package. (Actually, now that I think of it, I should go find it. I could use another throw blanket.)

A hat is probably the most useless article of free clothing, as it can’t be re-purposed into a shop rag.

Oh heck yes. I’ve got this NAPA one from a similar promo that I wear fairly often. Mostly to barbecues where I know I’ll be around fires to keep my other hats from smelling like smoke. I had another freebie hat in my shed that used to fill that duty but is now the yard work hat covered in dirt, sweat, and tree sap.

Dang I just realized it was a rebate thing. At NAPA they just handed them to you at the checkout counter.
