you could just get a $500 alarm system and not worry about it... thieves suck no doubt about it but at the end of the day (and don't take this as an insult), it's just a car

they'll have a hard time to steal the car because of the key and such, good thing there's insurance

I never used to before because I wore glasses. Now that I finally can wear a pair of oakleys, when my new ones come in I most likely will.

Only thing I'm debating is to rock the blue lenses which are polarized. Or the red lenses which are not polarized... The frame is supposed to be a gunmetal color so we'll have to see when they arrive. The theme of the car is Black/Red so I'm thinking the blue will clash... but polarized lenses ftw.

I wear glasses, the ones that turns to shade when UV hits it, forgot what they're called. Transitions. Had contacts but (ex) girlfriend flushed them down the toilet. Bought some nice oaks right after i got em.

Yeah I didn't think they were worth the cost so I never got those. Plus I worked in dim lighting conditions looking at a bright screen, couldn't have them going nuts 'transitioning' all the time...

Then again you probably don't have an astigmatism in each eye and, light sensitive. Lol

I had PRK done on my eyes so I'm always wearing one of my Oakleys. Gotta protect my 20/10 vision and look good in the Z.

Now all I have to do is fine some motivation to install all these parts on my ride

Most insurances cover it... Or at least half. It would be something worth looking into.

I got PRK as well. How long until you got to 20/10. I'm still 20/20 at best...
