I even wear them sometimes when it's rainy/foggy as I seem to be able to see down the road a bit farther.

In addition to my Serengeti drivers, I also have a pair of the Maui Jim titaniums for everyday use and a pair of Maui Jim Kahunas for really bright conditions. They are fabulous.

Maui Jim shades rule.

I can't function in bright sunlight without sunglasses, period.

In my civic I do not wear sunglasses (i have all the windows tinted including like a 25% tint on the windshield). My accord has no tint and I have to use sunglasses sometimes. I don't really like wearing glasses though when driving, I use my peripheral vision alot when I drive and glasses seem to obstruct that.

I have a pair of of Dolce and Gabanna, and a pair of Dior's that I hardly ever wear. The sun doesn't bother me much in my car.

I don't even like going outside (much less driving) without shades, always polarized. I have 2 pairs of Ray Bans, 1 pair of Costa DelMars, and 1 pair of H2Optix.

My wife doesn't get it, along with my OCD for detailing...

sunglasses are essential when I'm in the Cobra. In addition to reducing glare, they also help keep all the flying crap out of my eyes.

Agreed. I bought some a few months ago (? on the name of the glass) but they are flexible and VERY VERY comfortable, I forget I am wearing them sometimes.

Also, I have had sun glasses with NO distortion. Nothing.

The lenses have seven or eight different layers that produce a squinting effect. They never fatigue me.

I can go on and on... get some.

I'm on my second pair of Ray Bans. My first pair were the large aviator style with a driving tint (amber). After 15 years, I was getting lots of jokes about them being a little dated so I upgraded to a more contemporary look with the same tint. Always been happy with them and have had several friends purchase theirs based on trying mine.

I avoid polarized for the same reason as others: I hate the rainbow effect from tinted windows, can't read the display on radios, ipods, cell phones, etc.

I don't go without sunglasses. My eye docs recommended this based on being extremely near-sighted. I'm more prone to retinal detachment and bright light aggravates the situation.

Besides, sunglasses make you look cool!

It's true that the polarized glasses can help you spot certain defects in paint.
I can't be outside w/o sunglasses - Not sure if it has anything to do with eye color but my eyes are blue and a few hours in the sun and I'll get a headache without the sunglasses. Those eagle eyes glasses seem to work good for me.
