No matter what I’m driving, however, one thing is always in the car: my Persol PO9649 sunglasses. Yes, they’re expensive and could drop off my face at any moment. Yes, there are probably better sunglasses for driving out there. But as the acetate frame weathers over years of use, I’ve been leaving their earned, faded, wabi-sabi-like qualities intact. They’re worn-in sunglasses, if that’s even possible. I spend long hours in front of the computer, so protecting my eyes will hopefully pay off later on in life. But over years of driving, I can say that sunglasses have been that one item I can’t leave home without.
What must be in your car before you hit the road?
