My G in Snow

We had a nice snow storm here in the Philly area last night. The snow was no match for the AWD on my G. My tires aren't even that great - stock tires from the factory, and still had no issues on unplowed roads. Ha! Getting 20% tint this weekend. Can't wait

I'm in the Philly area and I have a 6MT (all season tires on the rear wheels) and no FTW here. Unless you count sliding from one parking spot to another as a win...

yeah - before this year I had Mustang GT for 11 years here. On a day like this, I wouldn't have even bothered to move my Mustang in the snow.

tint law here in pa is 70%, so if you follow that you might as well just tell then dont clean your windows when you wash your car. lol

I live here in Lancaster pa and put 35% on my wife G, and we habe no problems with cops saying the tint is to dark, as for 20% in Philly you might get harrased!

yeah - we'll see. I know I'm risking tickets with the 20% here in PA. Just want something a bit darker than 35%

70% tint law in PA is ridiculous. What about all SUVs - all makes and models having tint on rear windows from the factory? THOSE are way more than 70% tint. They don't get tickets My wife has an Escape.
