I've been wearing Rayban Aviators since I was about 15 & have not owned any other style since.

I've never made the sunglasses-to-350z association-- I like minimizing the sun's glare.

Its because your eyes have gotten used to them and its messed with your pupils. I had the same issue in Iraq.

I've never looked through a pair of Costas. Can I check yours at the next meet/ autox?

You're on. My water activities generally stop at showering & ice in my drink. Do I still qualify?

Costa Del Mar's are definitely a coastal/southern thing....I have owned a lot of different brands of sunglasses and Costa's are the best and only one's I'll ever wear now. Here are mine:

The reasons you guys state why you dont wea sunglasses is because you are used to cheap glasses. Buy yourselves some Pradas and i garantee that you will change your mind. You can't tell that they are on, your eyes actually relax, they dont weigh anything, they are totally clear and you can't even notice them. Seriously, glasses under $300 FTL.

In Arizona the largest natural condition causing car accidents is blinding sunlight. I swear there are times that I'm heading into the sun in the afternoon with sunglasses on, tinted windshield, and visor down, yet I can't see a dang thing. If I didn't have my sunglasses here in AZ, I'd be blind all the time. It's 6:00pm and sunny right now.

I wear Arnettes, Oakleys, and Maui Jim's.
