Whatever pair I find on the half wall beside the door... I didn't realize it was something one thought about when they went to drive? I gotta get with the times... I am getting old.

haha yeah i usually never wear sunglasses and just have a pair of $12 sunglass from those carts at the mall. but those gave me a headache and makes my eyes very tire. after spending on a better pair of sunglass i would never drive without it. i'm almost blind by the light now if i don't use it haha

Non-polarized Oakley C-Wire or A-Wire I always mix up both...I've been using them for at least 10 years, 1 stolen, and 2 frame replacement for 35$CDN each, 2 lenses replacement for 35$ each.We have a great service place in Montreal for Oakleys

Some crappy pair of "Berkley" fishing sunglasses from walmart that I got for 5 bucks. They are polarized and have a nice sepia tint to them.

i bought a pair of maui jim's today and i had to return it. since my windows are tinted, including my whole windshield, everything is all rainbowish when looking out and it makes my eyes very tire. everything is fine when i'm outside but driving didn't work that great for me =/ gonna get another pair of non polarized oakleys i guess.

Polarized Oakley Eye Jacket 3.0s.I miss the Eye Jacket line, that's probably why I haven't replaced these in years, even though they've needed it for a while.

My sunglasses change depending on where I'm driving to, what the weather is like. Right now there are 7 pair of mine in my car. Plus another 3 or 4 of my wife's. Oakley, Maui Jim, Zeal, RayBan just to name a few.

I use a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets with black Iridium polarized lenses. I originally had fire iridium lenses and promptly scratched them. Still, the best sunglasses I've ever owned.
