We love the blue lenses that Costa Del Mar offers. Great for on the water. They also match the YM with blue dial or the Blue Subby. Hey - maybe I should get one!!!

Mine and His
I really like the blue lens as well. I liked that about the Revos. I dont like the little side lens though.

When I was buying my GTI Golf I financed a small amount to make the purchase. What was interesting was the Finance guy at the Dealer telling me how young guys around the 19-25yr old mark actually borrow like $40,000AU to get their WRXs and other high performance Australian made vehicles and then they spend $1000s more to get those 22" rims and big exhausts... getting themselves in major debt at such a young age. It's totally nuts.

I've been there and done that with financing cars.... usually the novelty of the car ownership wears off WAY before the finance interest is paid off.

I have Bausch & Lomb transitions for everyday wear.
Zeiss Umbral 80% for the desert. Simply the best.

It seems not one of you wear 'Gargoyles' (USA) WHY?

What ever Bolle, Body Glove, or Vaurnet that Big 5 has on sale for under $40 that week. My glasses get trashed at work every few months. They're a disposable item.

So long as they are ANSI impact rated and wrap around for protection, I'm fine with them.

I have a pair of Juliets that are identical to yours.

I bought a pair of Half wires over the winter and have been wearing those for the last while now. But I still love the Juliets - had them since the summer of 2000 and they are still going strong!

Nice Bimmer BTW. Have a Z4 myself and the wife drives a 325xi.

I have a nice pair of Bolle's that I wear periodically, but usually its a $15 pair of, as mrbieler so eloquently put it, "disposable" sunglasses. I have found any number of ways to destroy them at work - usually a pair a month or so.

Thank goodness some people see things sensibly too!
While I would love a nicer car, but I'm happy that it runs well, has good aircon, and is still under warranty. For something that I drive only 10-20mins a day, it does me just fine and I paid for it all. At my age, I'm always tempted by something nicer, but then rattle my skull and think exactly the way that Amanda does.

Oh, and sunglasses... I'm got a pair of light Arnette rimmless that are very light and comfortable, and a pair of big, black Police that are great in our sun...and for a sore-headed sunday
