Serengeti's with sedona lenses. Have 5 pairs, different frame styles, kind of an addiction. I used to have Maui Jim's also, but my eye doctor showed me that the optics aren't nearly as good as the Serengeti's. Sorry to break that to the MJ wearers.

I found that the Polarized Sun-Tiger glasses I use for flying make the instruments and radio/navigator hard, if not impossible to read.

I usually use the Ray-Bans.

However the glare reduction is most welcome, especially now while the sun sits low on the horizon this time of year for my morning and evening commute.

I just flip them up as needed and have my audible speed warning beep set for 90mph, although I overshot it this morning as I was on ramping to the highway and noticed 98mph.....ooops.

Ray Ban Traditionals, bought them when I got my latest Pcar, excellent optics and quality. I purchased them because of the Ray Ban Clubmasters I bought in 1995 to celebrate ordering an Impala SS, still wear those in my DD 17 years later.

I paid $12 for my current pair of sunglasses.

I got them at a gas station somewhere near gainesville.

Oh Baby, I GOT to get me a pair of them!

I think it's generally agreed people sort of act a little differently towards somebody drivin' a P-car. No doubt to a different degree in, say, Ohio compared to, say, California...nevertheless: Can you imagine the reactions you'd get drivin' with a pair of these slapped on your face???? Priceless.

I got the Serengeti Paolo Polarized. I use prescription glasses so i just toss these on top of mine and they look pretty good and they fit perfect. Im thinking about getting the lens prescribed but I have to get a quote first.

Just so you know if you guys got a costco near your area go to their optics department and look at there sunglass selection. You will definitely be pleased with the prices. I Paid $75 for mine. These retail for $230. So ya just trying to help out.

I got a POS pair of prescription no-line bifocals tinted real dark from Lenscrafters AND a backup pair without tint for get this... $89 plus tax!

They're complete crap, but now I have dark prescription sunglasses for the car.

I swear, whenever I make another wad of cash I'm getting the RK and Lasic surgeries (I'll need one of each believe it or not) to correct my vision so I can buy cool sunglasses like the rest of you boys!
