Is there no way to just go to court and pay the full fine? Never got a tint ticket. *Knock on wood* :tiphat:

Here are some of the many great reasons why I deal with this expensive State (other that perfect weather and nice terrain on the east and beautiful water in the west).

The world famous Rose Parade

Showgirls 1000's of them and 3 ugly ones.

and my favorite if all -- Ronald Reagan pushing a senior stroller.

Meh. I'd rather live in Phoenix and just take the 4-6 hr drive to Cali to visit.

Sometimes you get a cool cop/whomever does the validation out here in Phoenix. My buddy was stopped and the person that the judge sent to verify it was a car guy and he was like, "This is stupid. You fixed it, right? Right."

Interesting coming from someone with a roadster. My top is never up, therefore, no need to tint my windows.

You're also not in So Cal, Phoenix, or Texas.

Even when parked tint is working to your advantage.

mmmmmm.... yeah get the windows tinted, the less people can see me the better, and about the night thing that is B.S. My tint is 15% all around and I can see really well at night. NO issues.

I got a driving without a licence fix-it ticket. I showed them my ID and they dropped it. If I hadn't, I would have had to pay the fine. That's it.

Can't you just leave the tints and pay the fine for the violation? What are they going to take your car if you don't get it fixed?? I would just accept the ticket, pay the fine, and leave my car as is.

No it's not BS at all. Many people will agree that visibility is greatly reduced with that sort of tint. Heck it's not BS because I have 15% and I have a hard time seeing at times. Looking into your mirrors to change lanes at night when there are no street lights is pretty difficult. Reversing sucks. Trying to see a curb is a challenge. Don't even get me started about when it rains...

Just because you experience something differently than others does not make it BS... :ugh2:

Easy now, I resemble that remark when I am in my Taurus.

I guess you can be right but I have no issues with visibility with or without street lights, I have a rear view camera so looking back does not bother me, and well I live in a desert so rain is never an issue.

If I care to be seen, my car came equipped with power windows.

Not this guy again...

I have owned mine for about 7 months now and I have never had one person try to race me. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Why do you keep mentioning "boy race car"? You have an obsession with little boys or something... :ugh2:

You really hate your car huh? I know the feeling, I had a 350z for many years, got married and traded it in for one of those God Awful Nissan SUV's. Drove that lifeless sh*t for 13 months. Couldn't take it. Leased the POS too. Traded it in on the13' Z. Took one hell of a hit but I KNEW what I was doing and knew what I wanted so eff it. Bite the bullet. You have a job? Got some money? Spend it.

Cmike2780 01-21-2014 10:27 AM

I don't know what you fools are talking about. I want people to see my ugly mug so they can see that I'm not just some old, middle aged guy compensating for a small package with a sports car. God dammit, I'm an Asian guy compensating for an average sized package with a sports car!!

Doesn't that make the Prius a boy racer car?

But did you go on the SUV forum to bitch and moan? That's the line that separates JungleZ from someone with a fully functioning brain. I've offered to start a Kickstarter to crowd fund the early turn in fee on his lease just to shut JungleZ the **** up. Enough people seemed willing to chip in $10 to get rid of this guy for good.
