How about two peg legs and two hooks as well?

Additional tint, the film you apply, since existing windows are tinted already (unless you have a really old car.)

The individual states control whether you can tint the windshield, and by how much. Most of the time, the tint can only be applied to a certain distance from the roofline. My truck has really dark tint at the top of the windshield, and my wife's truck has very light tint on the entire windshield to protect against UV light.

Yeah, for the windscreen its ok at the top, how about the side windows?

Again, laws are state-specific.

What about the hot rod? Does it have tinted windows to cut down on the thermal radiation glare when you approach mach-7? That is the real question.

The race car has legal tint (none on the windshield, 30% on all the other glass. Legally, I can go as dark as I want on all windows behind the doors, but I chose not to.

In Texas, they nail you for illegal tint when you go for your annual inspection. They have the equipment to check it.

There are legal limits to front window tints in the UK: the front windscreen must let at least 75% of light through and the front side windows must let at least 70% of light through. Some police cars carry tint meters to check them at the roadside and will issue on the spot fines and prohibit the car from being driven until the tint is removed.
That's a lot less tint than the average pair of sunglasses, and it's for two reasons:
1) So that you can actually see something after dark.
2) So the police can see the driver and what she or she is doing.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Not sure what you're trying to say.
I've had mine tinted as dark as the law here in Ontario allows, since I got the car, and I bought it brand new in 2006. Never been bothered by the cops. The guy who installed it had been doing it professionally at the time for 20 years.
It really cuts down on the heat in the summer, and if people can't see what's inside my car, it's a lot less tempting for kids to break in.

Does it work like a piece of cake in your car?
Reverse gear was a pain in my last car. (Manual transmission)
Just in few days of use, I noticed the reverse gear shift doesn't engage in one attempt.
I'd have to disengage, move the car by few inches and then try again then, it works.
When I raised this issue with the dealer, he said, shifting reverse gears need some "knack"  and this is how it is!
After years of usage, at one point, it became so worse. Then I called to the service department and explained the problem. Well, they came to the point straight. It would need some minor replacement and it might cost $400. What the heck, I've been complaining this right from day one on a brand new car. & I had a different response.
I just totally dislike this pattern
Something looks like a problem for you from day one & the other party never recognizes it & when the problem gets severe, they suggest a solution straight without looking at the history of this complaints & responses. 
Okay, I took it easy, I did not go for the $400 replacement, I tweaked up my "knack" for reverse-gear shifts and ensured I live with it Long enough till I sold it back to the same manufacturer.
Yup they do exchange customers old cars for new ones.
Now, I have a brand new car. Got it after exchanging my old one. It's different model but from the same manufacturer. It's just few weeks old. And now I'm seeing the same problem again.  The reverse gear doesn't engage at first attempt. It takes me to rock the back and forth and try again.  .
Does reverse gears in this universe work this way? Or I'm just alone here with my curse of the reverse gears?
I think I'll have to learn a new "knack" for this car now. WTH!!

No problems in my current car, but it's very familiar. Maybe it depends on whether the reverse gear has a fancy gear-liner-upper or just tries to jam the idler gear in depending on luck?

You automatically lose a couple of man points if you don't own a car with a manual transmission. I have no sympathy.

hehe. You lose a couple more if you imagined things on your own.
Mine is a pure Manual Transmission , I never said it's an AT.

Depress the brake before trying to shift into reverse. I have to do that in my Mustang (it's called a reverse lockout).
