My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
I figured I'd start this thread since we also have a few watch collection threads floating around. Actually, as I'm typing this, I'm sensing a TMac moment but eh, who cares...too lazy to search to see if a thread like this already exists. 
Anyway, I love wearing shades and use to like makes like Gucci, Armani and Calvin Klein but for the past few years, I've become addicted to Oakleys. I think I liked them at first because they were different from what all my other friends wear (brands noted above) but then I really got hooked on their quality, style, uniqueness, and diverse applications. I also like the fact that a lot of their styles can look great while you're participating in your favorite sport or just out for a night on the town.
Another thing I like about Oakleys is that you can custom order a lot of their sunglasses with different colored frames, lens, icons...and even get custom etching on the lens. Oh and they even have Asian Fit sunglasses.
K, enough blabbering. Here's what I have so far. And unfortunately, I tried taking pics of my glasses but they turned out crappy and you can see reflections of everything in my room. LOL! So I'm just posting pics I saved from the web. HAHAHA!
Okay so this is not a pair of Oakley's but it's a classic that everyone should have. Ray Ban Aviators:
Oakley Polarized Nanowire 3.0 - Brown Chrome frame with VR28 Black Iridium lens
Oakley Polarized Spike - Polished Black frame with VR28 Black Iridium lens
Oakley Polarized Square Wire - Brushed Chrome frame with VR28 Black Iridium lens
Oakley Penny - Polished frame with Black Iridium lens. These have been my all time favorite. This is my 4th pair as I've lost 3 already and they've been discontinued for some time now. You can find some on eBay with the limited edition X-Men Ruby Lenses and they go for about $600. There's another style similar to this call the Juliets that are still in production.
Oakley Polarized X-Squared - Polished frame with VR28 Black Iridum lens. I just got these today and I LOVE them. Finally found something that's going to retire my Penny. Makes me want to pick up another pair with the Ice Iridum or Ruby Iridium lens.
That's all I have right now but I'm thinking of ordering a pair of custom Oakley Flak Jackets which would be great for sports.
Okay, let's see some shades.
