It's light enough for people to still see inside.

That's really the point. The police need to be able to see in because, "If they can't see in, you can't see out" as they told one of my friends the other day...

"If they can't see in, you can't see out" is simply untrue. You can see out because the outside of the car is lit by the sun; they can't see in as well because the inside is not.

This whole tint issue is one of the many ways we are increasingly a police state instead of a free society. As far as I'm concerned, there's a simple solution that doesn't require regulation: if the police can't see in, they simply use the loud hailer and ask you to get out of the car where they can see you aren't a threat.

The differentiation between cars and trucks/vans is more regulatory garbage. We need fewer and simpler laws, not increasingly complex ones.

End of rant.

But I don't like people to see me picking my nose on my way to my office.

EWWW.... So where do you put the buggers once you've picked them out your nose?

Tidder · 06-16-2009, 11:29 AM

I hide them under the seat.

EWWWWWWWW.... I can imagine it too, lol.... Well I kinda do it in a way, I don't put my finger in my nose, but I stick my head out the Windows then force all the buggers and snot and mucus out my nose. People think its gross, but hey, I refuse to feel like I cant breath. See kids, thats why you don't do drugs, otherwise you end up with a messed up septum and major nasal problems. Thankfully I knew when to quit, well kind of, I quit when my nose gave out.

Can we please get

?

If I'm not horribly mistaken, all of the stuff I ordered from China should be in today, with the exception of my LED dome light. I hope I can get it all installed before I go to the birthday party at the church for my youth pastor... I hope it's all in as well...

OMG, you talk to much about church....

Anyways i think you should have skipped on the LED dome light. In the past I tried to use one on my Ford Focus and on my Porsche 944 (donated to a school) and they dont do much. I ended up putting the regular bulbs back in.

freeflashstuff · 06-16-2009, 03:52 PM

Church is a big thing for me, I can't help it.

I used an LED bulb before, I ended up putting the original back. But the one I ordered from DealExtreme.com has 48 LEDs, so it should be a lot brighter...

Tidder · 06-16-2009, 05:48 PM

Pics?

freeflashstuff · 06-17-2009, 12:49 AM

The LEDs didn't come in...

Tidder · 06-17-2009, 01:30 AM

You're gonna make me cry.

2k1Toaster · 06-17-2009, 01:58 AM

at least no body kit was ordered right?
