    Is anyone interested in meeting up to register tomorrow morning? I'm not sure how that would work, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
  2. GreenCactus
    Yes, it's tonight! NOT Wednesday. Also, as an incentive, I'll be making cookies.

Because this car wash is very popular, especially due to the salt after snow, and long lines can develop. We can create our own line without waiting on everyone else! </p>

    Yeah, Cricket is gross. Stupid snow.

    Just for the record, I'm no more afraid of bears than anyone else is (or should be, anyway). Ok, gummi bear fruitcake is terrifying, though.

    Depends... Who is it? Seriously, everyone members or not, are welcome!

    My rear window was a little cloudy yesterday morning, but by last night it was ok. I had a few bubbles on Friday and Saturday, but they're gone now.

    In case anyone is wondering, these students came to the Meet and Greet at MINI of Sterling last week and were given permission to post this survey.

    I had the tinting done today and went with 50% all around. Thanks for all of the suggestions!!

    I've only had my winter tires on for a few days, so I can't comment on my gas mileage yet. However, my winter wheels are 5 pounds (each) heavier than my summer wheels. Cricket just feels heavier. I can imagine that extra 20 pounds will make some difference in my gas mileage. Both my summer and winter tires are runflats, so they should weigh about the same.

    Thanks for the replies!! I hadn't even thought about having a hard time seeing out of it at night. I already don't see really well at night, so that's definitely something to keep in mind. I think I'm leaning towards doing 50% all the way around.

    I'll plan on taking the spot after Price, but I'll probably get there earlier.

    I'm not surprised I had it backwards. I thought it sounded off, but I figured I was just confused.

    Do you have any issues with the police/getting pulled over due to the tint?

    Yesterday morning, I was attempting to turn left onto Oronoco St, from Washington St in Old Town. While I was waiting, a BRG/W headed north waved! Around 5:30 last night, I was headed West on King St and I passed a classic Mini, parked on the street, with Montana plates. I tried to take a picture, but traffic decided to move. Also last night, on Duke St, PlayPlay waved at me. I didn't realized it was him, since he wasn't in his MINI. I thought it was just some guy who was trying to get me to let him in front of since the right lane was a turn only lane. Sorry for speeding up!

    I want to get Cricket's windows tinted, but want to stay at least sort of legal. I live in DC and their tint laws are pretty strict... Front windows can be no more than 70% and rear no more than 50%... BUT, they no longer do vehicle safety inspections (only emissions). I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over in DC for illegal tint, so I'm not too worried about meeting their requirements. Virginia law is no more than 35% in the front and 50% in the back Maryland law is no more than 50% all the around. What would you do?
  23. GreenCactus
    The 26th works for me.

    I want to get Cricket tinted too, so I'd be up for going also.
