Joe. Let's use some reverse logic here. Maybe you lose them all the time because they're pieces of s*&t and you can just buy another pair. If you owned a quality pair, perhaps you'd keep better track of them???

Well, maybe you can swing a round or two in Dallas/Ennis. We won't be there until Saturday, so I'll miss the Show Car(s).

I have purchased a lot of Oakley things, I never go to a race without making more then one trip to the "Rolling O". I havn't worn anything but Oakley shoes in about 5 years. Hope they have a good supply in Brainerd!!!!

My best purchase has been the Straight Line 4.0 prescription glasses, I love them, and get lots of compliments on them.

Well, I've wanted Oakleys for ages and ages. I found a couple pairs I liked last week at the Sunglass Hut at the SuperMall. I put on these platinum framed Square Wires (they were labeled A Wires, but I think that's wrong) with iridium blue lenses and thought that was the hottest thing on earth. Get in my blue Mustang, roll the windows down and go for a drive. Zow.

My sister said she'll buy me a pair of Oakleys for my birthday (just five weeks away, yay!). And I have long been of the mind that if I got myself a nice pair of shades I wouldn't be constantly losing the cheapies that I buy.

Although, I must say my $16 Disneyland sunglasses are almost a year old, which is a record for me. I almost think I subconsciously try to lose shades.

And I admit, the fact that many of the drag racers wear them kind of puts me over the edge as far as lusting after the product. First thing I noticed when I met up with a driver a week or so ago was his Oakleys.


What's really cool, though, from this thread, is seeing the high praise for a product line and the flying of the O even though Oakley doesn't sponsor everyone...that really says a lot for the brand.

Can't wait to get my first pair of Oakleys! Yay!

We are going to start bringing out the laser to show why Oakley users are the smart ones... look for it beginning at Indy.

Jim, I don't know how long you have been supporting Drag Racing (All the years seem to run together), but I've had my Oakley glasses for going on 6 years now, and going strong. These are my everyday (work-racing-weddings....) and love a great product. Your support in racing is awesome.

I think I was at your coach (Rolling O) at Sonoma, next to Scelzi's I believe. You were'n there. I was looking for Gary.

If the scope laser test doesn't convince you about the quality of the Oakley product, the shotgun pellet test will!

Normally, I'd say they will look better on your head but I'll reserve that statement until we get the pictures. Posting soon? LOL

I was like Joe, bought cheap sunglasses for most of my life. Lose or break them, no biggie.

Until I bought my first pair of Oakley's, I didn't understand why anyone would pay that much for sunglasses (other than they thought they were cool). I now know. While they're definitely cool, everything I had owned before decreased my vision, they just eliminated bright light and/or made my view muddy. The optics on Oakley sunglasses are second to none! It was like I put on prescription glasses with my first pair, I could SEE better with them than without, whether or not I was looking into a bright light situation. I didn't know that was possible!

Back to the losing cheap stuff. You don't lose Oakley's. Someone might steal them, but you don't lose them or leave them anywhere. You know where they are, because you have something that really helps you see better!
