Just lovin the Z06 a little too much here and there. I get let go because most know me around the area, but the one town local to here is full of a bunch of bs and I got jammed up. The one time I wasn't doing anything...go figure...lol.

I actually half ran the other day...it was funny as hell. I came off a main road with my assistant in the car. She is still getting used to all these cars we deal with, so figured I'd show her a little Z06 power. Sure enough I rip right past a cop in a line of traffic. I look back and he's pullin a 3 point turn...so I step on it, fly into our parking lot and right into the building since the door was opened. I park, we jump out and I run into my office...lol. 5 minutes later he pulls up in front of the building and finds me. He asks what the hell I was doin...haha. I am like, just showin the assistant what's up...it's like ear music. Luckily he laughed...smacked me in the stomach and said "watch it"....then left...lol.

Just remember if you crash and kill someone it goes from an accident to vehicular homicide because they will be able to prove intent. Some laws have big problems in some circumstances.

Hope the person you hurt doesn't have a good lawyer and you'll

be OK.

It's correct to say that getting the windshield is illegal, but if you have a "Doctors Note" (as ridiculous as it sounds) you'll be good to go. Get your doc or optometrist to write an Affidavit about you're specific eye or migraine issues and everything's gravy. Cop pulls you over and he can't question the Affidavit, he can call and check if it's valid but he can't write a ticket or do anything else.

It's your call whether you go this route though.

My brother had skin cancer and he has one of those prescriptions. It specifies the tint levels and in this state you need to have a receipt proving the tint level. He removed the tint from the windshield because he felt it was unsafe. He still has darker than legal tint for this state on the sides and rear. As he says the rear is not a problem and with power windows the sides are an easy fix if you need to see. He had 35% on the windshield but said it was hard to see at night. I have the Washington legal 35% on all my front side windows and the rear of the Sky. The truck has factory privacy glass behind the front doors. I went 20% on the rear of the Vette. Not legal here but I don't think its unsafe. The truck came that way from the factory.
