Sunglasses

[Hal Copple]

I have always thought that my retina's are unusually sun sensitive. Plus, my eyes dry out and get irritated if i drive much, say over an hour. For night time, i have a clear pair of Gargoyles, and several pair of inexpensive Simpson Bubble goggles, it is nice to have your eyes totally shielded from wind and grit. But if it is really sunny out, i now have a nice really dark pair of Oakley's that wrap way around, almost as much wind protection as goggles. My Revo's were nice, but tended to slide down my snoozola.

But when i am out near "The Place Where the Beautiful People Go", where i can cause trouble and aggrivation, i put on my Rayban Aviators. It just doesn't fit my image to wear some sort of modern glasses. I like to slowly switch off my engine switches, after a few appropriate blips of the AC pedals, causally get out of my SPF, unzip my well worn A2 jacket, and keep my WWII Rayban's looking straight ahead. I have my Dad's pair, issued to him as a naval aviator in the early part of WWII.

You gotta look the part in these cars. Style is everything. Like class, it just has to show.

Was this thread about sunglasses, i forgot.
