I just made a customer remove the rear tint from her BMW this week because it was to dark. You couldn't even see thru it from the inside.

It all depends on the inspection station if they care or not about losing or keeping their inspection license. We prefer to keep ours because it does generate revenue. And we are not some sleazy shop.

NHDOT is coming down hard on window tint.

I used to put stickers on cars all the time that had front tint. Never understood how it's a safety issue if police cars, limos, or recreation vehicles have it. Again I must be a drug dealer or sleazebag to have mine done. I think it's time to get rid of NH stupid laws: Austen for Senate!

 

When we moved up from TX we had tint on the front windows since you couldn't even get a car off the lot new there without it, the dealers tinted them as soon as they came in. Big pain up here for inspections with them though but I just called around until I found the shop that didn't care and we took them there until they were traded in. Gotta love the lick em and stick em shops

 

I was always way more concerned about safety items like brakes, tires, wipers and lights- including the idiots that drop in aftermarket 10,000k HIDS.

 

im an idiot, but i didnt put in 10k hids

 

My tread depth is about to reach a critical level so its time for some new rubber. What ya'll running for summer tires? any recommendations?

 

i'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports. I bought them because of the price i found online plus the reviews i read.

 

I run Michelin Pilot Super Sports. They were cheaper in the 215/45/R17 than the 205/45/R17, which I found a little comical, but the 215 is a more common size. Wider rubber for cheaper. Win.

 

hey if anyone is interested the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend is the Gate City Corvette club Corvette show at the Bud Plant in Merrimack. My family is involved with the club big time and I keep joking with the old man that I was going to get the parking lot over taken by Minis that day, so if anyone is interested in joining me that day...

 

that could be interesting, what goes on at the show? is it just like a meet and greet?

 

I'm in.

 

LOL - could be funny.

 

I'm running Pirelli p zero nero's, tirerack had them for $79 each plus a $60 rebate so I couldn't pass that up

 

So, what's everyone up to the end of this week / weekend?

 

Working Saturday. Family event Sat night, nothing planned Sunday but boat time. You kind sir?

I believe we are painting our kitchen, bathroom, and remodeling the bathroom Friday and Saturday. Sunday we are doing the poker rally out of MOP.

Have you done any of those events before like the poker rally? I was going to sign up for it but didn't know if they're a waste of time or not.

 

Nope. This is the first Mini of Peabody event we are going to attend.

 

Ryan, definitely let us know how it goes. Peabody does lots of little events like that, so should be a fun time.

And I'm not sure what I'm doing this weekend... Don't have too many plans, but I kind of like that, to be honest.

 

Poker Rally? Play cards and then drive?

 

I believe it's a cruise with scheduled stops. At each stop you get a card. The person with the best hand at the end of the event wins some sort of prize.

Its a judged Corvette show. Plus they have food and vendors for basically Corvettes but it is a lot of fun and some pretty sweet rides. I will be there but I might be stuck judging for a bit. I hope not.

Saturday this weekend not doing anything but Sunday I have to help out with the Corvette judging clinic.

 

Oh that sound like fun...wonder if MOB will do one ?
