I was told by a friend a while back that he was instructed to do as such:

In a situation where two cars are speeding & the tinted car is doing 80, while the non-tinted is doing 90, to pull over the tinted car.

Reason being: They must have something to hide :doh:

I speed like a mother, don't get pulled over for it. I'm not going to risk it.

if i lived in the desert i would have tint
i like the clean look without it, also in cali its illegal to tint your front side windows, so usually i think it looks funky

its "ricey" imo when people get yellow, blue, red, purple tint

it sounds like you're suggesting that people who aren't tinted don't have a right to call something "rice". or worse even, that they're hypocrites for calling something "rice".

well.. if that's the case; i'm not tinted, and i would classify your civic as rice..
