MrH's BRZ Thread

[Raza]

For practical purposes, less than the difference between 20 and 35, in addition to the way sunglasses are worn. Sunglasses being more than 2x as dark and worn on the face means they are not remotely "like" window tint.


IIRC it's an exponential function. You cant't really even tell the difference between 100 and 70.

Dude, what the fucking fuck is wrong with you?  If you like your dumbass tint, that's up to you.  But to say it's not like wearing sunglasses because one person said a number that's unverified is completely fucking moronic.  I don't care tiny fucking nuance you can try to say about wearing sunglasses on the face--I mean, give me a fucking break, tinting is tinting--or that you ignore the fact that sunglasses can have varying degrees of tint that aren't universally 20%. 

I don't understand with you and these other sensitive motherfuckers never admitting that they're wrong.  You're fucking wrong.  Get over it.  Stop being such a moronic douchebag fuck.

[MrH]

Well, actually he's right though.  How dark it looks is not just a matter of how much light is hitting it, but also how much light is shining through on the other side.  With sunglasses, you have your face right on the other side.  There really isn't any light shining from your face and out the front of the glasses.  In a car however, you have light coming through the front windshield almost completely untinted (all cars have a slight factory tint), and also light coming in through the other tinted windows all around.

20% tint on a car is totally different than 20% on sunglasses.  And you're saying he's sensitive?  Come on Raza, lighten up, you're the one who just flipped out

Anyways, none of this matters.  Stop clogging my thread you whores.  I worked out final numbers yesterday, bank cut the check for the small loan and are over nighting it to the dealership,  trade-in value has been set.  Just a matter of the car arriving and picking it up now

You're telling me that a tinted rear window doesn't affect how you see out of it when you look through the back to reverse?

That's not what I'm saying at all

Did you read my post or not?

[MrH]

100 - 35 = 65; 35 - 15 = 20.

Putting tint on your front windows is about a step above tinting your headlight lenses.

Well, that's incorrect too actually.

35% is 65% darker than no tint (which no modern car is at).

15% is actually lets in 57% less light than 35%.  So in fact, it's almost twice as dark as 35%.

And your ability to see isn't linearly dependent on the amount of light available.  There's these things called pupils, you see.  And they can expand and contract to adjust for light.  There's a huge drop off in your ability to see after you get to a certain light level.

Then there's also the fact that there is light on both sides of the glass with windows, as opposed to just one side with sunglasses.

So the claim that it's like wearing sunglasses all the time?  Yeah, pretty ridiculous.

My rear window is tinted 35% (came that way new, bought it in Arizona), and I don't even notice it. I've been in cars with darker tint that did cause nighttime visibility issues but 35% isn't anything. It is absolutely nothing like wearing an average pair of sunglasses at night, anymore than whispering to someone is like screaming at them.

And speaking of screaming at people, calm down mang, there's no reason to get so upset over this.

This thread sucks now. To be expected from this forum, I guess.

OH YEAH? YOU HAVE A PROBLEM TOO YOU COCK SUCKING DOUCHEBAG MOTHERFUCKER? WELL WHY DON'T YOU STEP INTO THE FUCKING TORTURE CHAMBER SO I CAN SPREAD MY FUCKS ALL OVER YOUR FUCKING FACE?

Dude, if Farris weren't such a fucking dick about his bullshit little faggoty flippant matter-of-fact know-it-all fuckface response, I wouldn't have gone off on him the way he deserved.  Like is not equal, it's as simple as fucking that.  If you can't get that through your thick fucking skulls then I don't know how you function.

Yeah, you sure showed him. I think it was the sixth "fuck" that did it.

A mouse is like a buffalo. They both have fur, four legs, ears, eyes, a mouth, a nose, and a tail. Buffalo are dangerous, therefore mice are dangerous, because a mouse is like a buffalo.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I don't think anyone here really knows if like is like is, or if like is is. Irregardless, they are equal in some ways, but not in all ways.

Yup, that's exactly what I said. 

Look, maybe I overreacted.  But I'm right.

That.  Is great.

You're so angry and concerned with being right, you skipped my post that proved you aren't








ANYWAYS.  Yeah, this forum sucks.  The BRZ is in.  Paying most of it in cash, but taking a small loan out for some added flexibility.  Check for the loan gets to the dealership tomorrow morning, and I pick up the car tomorrow at 4 PM or so

Needless to say, I'm excited.  Btw, I got $14,900 on trade in for my Miata.  That gives me a $1,100 tax advantage too.  Adding those together, $16k for the miata.  I paid $16,600 2 years and 20k+ miles ago

[Eye of the Tiger]

I don't know how you do it

[Raza]

No, I ignored it because you're fixating on one number that someone said about what kind of light that sunglasses let in.  I have multiple pairs of sunglasses and no two let in the same amount of light. 

[giant_mtb]

I pick up the car tomorrow at 4 PM or so

Epic.

The BRZ is, literally, the first car that has made me wish I'd have known about it two years ago...I damn well would have waited and not gotten the A4, even if the BRZ is way less practical/useable.  Fuck!  Maybe once I get a real job with some real cash inflow I could sell the Audi.  Or have them both!

[280Z Turbo]

I don't know how you do it

No student loans.

[MrH]

I don't know how you do it

Do what?  Trade cars like a boss!?

Like how my Protege5 sat in my parent's drive way for 8 months and appreciated $1300

You might be able to sell the A4 and buy a BRZ outright.

[Raza]

Congratulations dude.  Post lots of pics. 

I'm seriously quite happy for you.  This is a great car and I'm sure you'll like it a lot.

Also bullshit.

[giant_mtb]

Probably.  I've still got a damn dent that needs fixing (holy shit, I should probably get that into a body shop soon) and it needs tires, but beyond that, it's still an essentially perfect vehicle.

But I still need to get around in the winter (Bravvy's gone, so we no longer have an extra 4x4, and I certainly can't afford one) and the insurance would probably be a (large) bit more.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I find that myself, in regards to leaping onto the bandwagon of the BRZFRS, I am greatly anticipating the leap, but being let down due to finances.

[MrH]

Congratulations dude.  Post lots of pics.

Thanks.  I seriously recommend test driving one.  One test drive was enough to sell me on it.  There isn't a car under $60k I would rather have.  You gotta get in Cayman, M3 range to get the same kind of sharpness in a car, and those cars are so far out of my range, I think I'll be content for quite a bit with this car.

I doubt it.  Insurance is pretty cheap.  I'm only paying $411/6-months!  I have USAA though, which is the shit and super cheap.  It's the best ever.

Get snow tires and drive a BRZ all year.  That's what I'm doing.

I wish I could do that.  I don't even have the cash inflow to spare for a second set of tires.

[Laconian]

Maybe you'd make a profit and have money for FRSBRZ and tirez.
