		There are fashion subscriptions. Some people do not value being able to continually rewear clothes and would prefer to constantly having new clothes to show off.

By that logic, I should be paying Audi and Mazda a subscription for finding utility in the cars that sit in my driveway.

And Nike for the shoes on my feet.
