Hello everyone!
I usually tint all of my cars with 15% on the front side windows, 5% on the rear side windows, and 70% ceramic tint on the windshield. For my new car, I decided to go a bit darker because the interior is grey and I thought it would be too visible from the outside.
I think I may have made a mistake. Even though it’s not legal in my country, I went with 5% on all sides front and rear windows and 50% on the windshield. It turned out much darker than I expected. It’s actually very comfortable to drive both during the day and at night, but from the outside I’m practically invisible. For some reason, it almost looks like I’m running a 15% windshield lol
Do you think switching the windshield tint from 50% to 70% would make a noticeable difference in visibility from the outside while still keeping the car comfortable? Considering that all the other windows are already at 5%, I’m not sure how much of an effect it would have.
The car also has a dual panoramic roof, and the sunshade is the perforated mesh type rather than a solid shade. I’m not sure if that’s contributing to the overall darkness of the cabin.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated.
Was riding through a school zone today when I noticed a kid staring at my bike. I stopped and he immediately came over with the biggest smile on his face, pointing at the throttle and wanting to rev it.
Couldn’t say no.
The smile after hearing the bike rev was priceless. Thought some of you might appreciate the moment.
Hi everyone,
I spotted this Peugeot Partner in Bulgaria last week and noticed that the registration appears to be one of the only Bulgarian plate I’ve seen without the blue EU band on the left side. As far as I know, most Bulgarian registrations have the EU flag and country identifier, so this one caught my attention. Is this a genuine Bulgarian plate, and if so, could someone explain why it doesn’t have the EU band? Is it an older style, a replacement plate, or something else? Thanks in advance for any information!
Hello everyone!
This is the only carbon license plate I spotted during my trip to Germany. I was there for about two weeks, and I tend to pay a lot of attention to license plates because I’m an enthusiast.
My question is: is it actually legal in Germany to have a carbon license plate, or is this some kind of special exception/custom plate?
Would totally recommend this undersuit. It’s very comfortable. I’d definitely buy another one like this. Are there any other brands you’d recommend?
Hi everyone,
I’ve run into a problem with my car and I’m hoping someone here can help me figure it out as soon as possible.
I recently bought a 2010 E63 with the M156 engine. I’m currently working around the oil cooler/radiator area and I’ve noticed some wiring that doesn’t make sense to me. I’m uploading a video so you can see what I mean.
From the main wiring harness, there are four wires coming out that go toward the oil cooling radiator. However, at some point, two of them are isolated (not sure why), while the other two continue on to the oil cooling radiator.
What’s confusing me is that the car is not showing any fault codes at all, and all values are within normal tolerances (with minimal deviations). That makes me think this wiring might have been added or modified by the previous owner (I don’t have contact with them anymore).
I also checked the wiring diagram for the car, and it seems like this cable shouldn’t even exist in the factory setup.
I’d really appreciate help from someone knowledgeable in this area. Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to respond.
Hi everyone!
I’m planning my first trip to the Caucasus and thinking of starting in Georgia and then continuing to Armenia. I was in Armenia 2 years ago, and I didn’t have enough time to visit Georgia sadly.
My current rough idea is to fly to Tbilisi and stay there a couple of days exploring, then take the overnight train to Yerevan or maybe fly there, and spend around 10 days total between both countries.
I’m interested in exploring culture/history, mountains and nature, local food, and meeting new people of course. I’d also love to experience a mix of city and night life.
A few questions though…
Are 10 days enough for both countries without rushing too much?
Would you recommend the overnight train between Tbilisi and Yerevan?
Any underrated places I shouldn’t miss?
Is it easy to meet other travelers/locals in Georgia?
Any advice about transport, budgeting, or things to avoid?
Would really appreciate suggestions, hidden gems, food recommendations, or general tips from people who’ve done a similar trip.
I’m so happy to add them today to my collection.
