It's ridiculous though because what could possibly be an issue with wearing eye protection from the sun, but it's true he doesn't like wearing sunglasses. To me it seems he made it up in his own mind that sunglasses aren't necessary and they are just a nuisance but we all know that's not true, so I would definitely call it anxiety or some other mental issue that makes him believe sunglasses are a stupid idea or invention. I know it's crazy right. Sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun and they are also very stylish. I think it has to do with hiding his face which he doesn't like to do or the change in visual contrast. I love Jay though no matter what, he's such a down to earth good guy.

    I don't know the Elva was originally a McLaren design. Neat. I've seen an original street example at the Carlisle Import show a couple of times.
    My first thought when I saw this car was, "the designers were Speed Racer fans..."
    If McLaren thinks cars need to be geared more towards the driving experience, maybe we'll see the return of a manual transmission. Maybe... One can hope.

    • @M3PH11

      The thing about manual transmissions is that they are slow. Do you like being slow? Coz i don't. I like being fast and if a dual clutch or a modern auto is faster then that's what i'm ordering.
      I do find that people like yourself that do want the return of the manual are usually scared by change and have no idea what they are talking about. Mostly coz they are slow.
