Expensive sunnies..........can't do it anymore!

Have bought (and broken) them all. Now I just go down to the sevo and pay $20.
All tests and surveys say that the cheap ones are as good and sometimes better than the expensive ones. You can buy and trash 15 pairs for one pair of Serengettis. For me, the cheapies last just as long! The last pair of cheap ones I bought, I absolutely hated them as I bought them in a rush but they lasted ages before I finally lost them.
Anyone know how much it costs to make a $300 pair of sunnies? my guess is abou $5, if I am wrong I'll bet the normal mark up from manufacturing costs must be at least 3 to 400%.

If you check the mirror before you leave home in the morning and say to yourself " Gee I look good in my Serengettis" then go buy some, if you are not so vain, take a trip to the servo!

But, if you think all I have said is garbage at least take heed of this....
DO NOT buy Polarised sunnies if you are going to fly an aircraft while wearing them.
