$250 car wash

[Nitro]

I used to wear Oakleys, that were around $100, but the ones you are talking about are more than double that... They make Oakleys feels cheap?

There are different levels of Oakleys. There are even $500 pairs of Oakleys. The glasses I have are Oakley Whiskers with polarized lenses.

I only wear Maui Jims....but learned a long time ago to treat all eye wear with gentleness.

I've actually spent $250 on a car wash before -- full detailing at a place I go to is $175 and I normally give them a $75 tip. Full conditioning on the leather, clean out all the little junk that gets stuck in the seat perforations, full scrub top to bottom. Well worth it.

+1 for Maui Jims. I've forgotten what life was like before them.

+1. Love the World Cup Edition

This would have been a $7 car wash for me.

get lasik if you can, best thing I ever spent money on. I wear Oakleys, its difficult to get them to fly off.

The only way I would do lasik is if it would totally eliminate the need for glasses. Which it won't in my case. I wear progressive bifocals, so lasik would only solve either the "nearsightedness", or the "farsightedness". It can't fix both.
Also, my wife did lasik around 5 yrs. ago, and she is not happy with it at all.

My niece recently had lasik surgery. She was extremely nearsighted. The surgery corrected her far vision to 20-20. But she developed extreme night glare. So bad that she really can't drive very far at night without getting a headache. But she says that she would still get the surgery. She was willing to trade the night glare for near perfect far vision.
I drive a lot at night...so I guess I will keep on wearing my glasses. I don't want to take the chance.

Yeah, the VAST majority of my driving is at night. I have very pale skin, and try to remain indoors when the sun's up as much as possible. Night blindness wouldn't work.

Lasik is what freed me to get nice sunglasses. I got it when I was 23 and left the doctor with 20/15 vision. The glare at night is certainly worse than it was pre-surgery, but I wouldn't take a free GT350 to go back to glasses. I generally leave my sunglasses on my dash when I need to take them off during cleaning the car.

I am so glad I had Lasik done.

My girl friend dove off my boat in 20 ft of water wearing her $850 designer sun glasses. I couldn't find them even after an hour of scuba searching. The previous year, a friend dropped his Rolex watch in nearly the same spot.

I wear these,

did you know now you can buy a motion sensor to fit onto small stuff so if you go to sit on them, the alarm bleeps well cool

How do you even find year old threads here I am curious?

I've got a few pairs of Oakley X-Metals that just keep going and going (well, I did launch a pair from a pirate ship in the Barbados ...).

Since the frames are so bullet proof, and they're completely modular, I've actually refurbed them a few times, and there's a whole micro-industry around fasteners, lenses, rubber components. A few of the aftermarket lenses are optically very good (there's an outstanding source in Japan I've used), nearing OEM quality, though I've also managed to stash a few original, NIB lenses as well

Currently own: XXs, Juliets and Romeo 2.0s
