Default C7 sunglasses??

I've not been able to find C7 sunglasses. Are there any vendors here that have any?

Are they faster than C6 ones?

When you wear them, some people won't like how you look from the back.

Are we talking Z51 or non Z51 glasses? Of course if you wait until next year, you can get ZO6 ones

You really don't want the first year sunglasses....the horrible orange peel on the frames, the lenses will fall out, etc.

I got a ticket wearing a pairs driving my Hyundai Accent with a bumper stitcher saying my other car is a C7. Tried to talk my way out of the ticket. Cop wouldn't listen to my $5.00 until pay day blues. He said , "Punk, if you can afford C7 sunglasses you can pay a speeding ticket". Now i keep a pair of smart car sunglasses in the dash. I can change them before the cop gets to my car window.

They are not available yet because they have bad "blind spots"..

I wear my Ferrari sunglasses to impress people. Oh, wait, I do have a Ferrari!

(And while I do have a Ferrari Ray Bans are good enough for me [and my eyes].

Are we going to have a big stupid pointless fight now about the chrome sunglasses versus the black ones now?

Only available in black.. The GM Rep said and I quote him, "Chrome is so yesterday, black is the new chrome".

I heard Tadge say that "It takes almost no time with a pair of C7 sunglasses to realize that the C6 sunglasses are obsolete"

How about a Stingray watch? Not sunglasses but the watch salesman was a bit shady.

If I go with the transparent lenses, will it be too hot? What about the carbon fiber ones?

I'd go for some Carbon Fiber Aviator's with the crossed flags on them.
