And Vuarnets aren't? Lol.

That does remind me that I lost a pair of rare limited edition Ducati Oakley sunglasses a few years ago. I forgot them in a rental car and when I returned to see if they were still there, of course they weren't. Some bastard lucked out

I feel that way too and am a diehard petrolhead, but some of those electric cars are looking better and better.

The more I'm exposed to them the better they look, sadly.

The future is here... almost. lol

Nope. But there is something wrong with the price tag for what you get.
