Thumbs up Funny Comment From Bystander!

I had just got my windows tinted on my 06 silverstone and i'm stopped in traffic. I look over and a middle aged guy in a brand new lincoln zephr tells motions me to roll down my window..well i can't since i just got my windows tinted. i open the door and he asks how much i paid for my car and I said 30k and that he's looking for a new one. I said 30k and he says "what! I ****ed up! I payed 34k for this thing!" I thought that was pretty funny.

lol, yeah the car does look more expensive than it actually is. Was he offended that you didn't roll down your window?

just a side note. all it takes is normally around 3 hours in decent sunlight for your windows to dry enough to roll them down safely, the tint place tells you a few days to save there *** from those guys with older cars whos window seals are usually dried out.

My neighbor thought it was a Porsche when I drove it home the first day... I just smiled and said no.

I got stopped by an unmarked detective car a few years back in an old Pontiac Grand Prix. He was next to me in traffic yelling at me to roll my windows down but I couldn't because the regulator was bad (typical Pontiac). I ended up sticking my head out of the sunroof to get my *** chewed until he let me go.
