Took her to the dealership, the resistor/blower motor went out.. go figure. Parts won't be in till tuesday. Guess I'll just have to deal with being blown hard instead of softly.. lol

And for now I have her parked in the yard out from under all the trees just incase this Tropical Storm gives us a little too much wind. I will say she looks super sexy/aggresive in the grass off in the shadows. But She will probably stay there till tuesday. Storms are jeep weather.

I've been suffering the busted resistor issue for the last three weeks... it was bearable, until the last two days... it's been annoyingly ho and HUMID!! so i have to be either sweating or freezing.

Storms are jeep weather?!? Nope, not for me. Short of an earthquake turning every street into a rocky off-road course, my Fit is going out! I drove home in torrential rain in NY and PA... at full highway speed too! Hehe.

Yeah thats my biggest peeve with the Blower... I'm either sweating my balls off or freezing em off.. Nothin comfortable.. Should be fixed tuesday though so not too bad.

Well when you live on top of a hill and everything at the bottom floods from 3"-1.75'... Yeah I'd rather take out me jeep and not worry about anything. Plus if trees are fallen and what not, I'm not typically stopped by much short of a wall.

Lol I can agree with you on that one Vin. I'm around cops all the time at work. Chuck's POV has 20% on the front 10% on the back. Chuck only gives tint tickets when it's something absurd. Like 5% or 0, since the heat down here is just insane.. I think Java's case the cop was just being a dick. Probably a newbie trying to exercise his power..

according to his progress, he's 35% all around, the same as my tints. except, in NY, only allows down to 70% on the side windows, and any on the rear.

State Window Tinting Laws
Welcome to TintLaws.com

I'm in Illinois, so I'm legal (even if Chicago tickets!).

Only 70%?! That's bullshit! Here in louisiana it's 40%, but usually you can get away with 30%.

Yeah I'm 35% all around and with the factory "tint" it actually puts my drivers window at 26 according to the device he used.

What's more ridiculous is it wasn't even a fix it ticket?! He told me u can fight it or pay it but said nothing about removing it for negation of the ticket.

Since its just an equipment ticket its better than the 180 buck tickets you can get for speeding on the new jersey tpke, that one was fun lol.

He was def hatin, he was checking out my rims so hard lmao
