I buy the cheapest wrap around safety sunglasses from Home Depot because if I buy expensive ones I lose them in a week.

Oh and IBTL, not exactly C4 related.

Why wear sunglasses? Get mirror tint on your windshield and sunshine be damned!

To make this somewhat c4 related; I always have my polarized oakleys on so that I can read the digital display which is burnt out and can't be read clearly with out them.

I got a pair like his. I had to go down to the Department of Human Services, filled out a couple forms and I got a new mortgage at 1%, food stamps, unemployment even though I'm working, a government grant, early social security and a pair of these. Can't wait for the next 4 years

Home Depot safety type - 3 for 16 bucks

UV coated - wrap around to keep the wind out ( kinda )

When I break or lose them - I'm not out $ 100.

Not exactly C6 related either, but we're at 6 pages and climbing.

I'm not waking Crocamonga for this. No way.

Not a bad Idea. I've been paying $7 each at Family Dollar and 7-11. I do have a good pair of Ray-Bans that are going on 11 years old now. I finally dropped them and dinged a lens this year. I paid $179 in 2001....I won't be replacing them.

dude, you don't even know... the C6 has the euro-ish 3 blink feature...which you can't turn off. There was several pages of arguing over that topic. Things get heated up over there even worse than here because all the C6 ballers have more $ and think their opinion means more.
