It's probably not, but i see so many tinted cars I'm not too worried, plus it looks darker in those pics cause its overcast

From Michigan.gov:


TINTED WINDOWS

Question: Can I have tinted windows on my vehicle?

Answer: The law that covers window applications is MCL 257.709 . The use of tinting is limited to the rear side windows, the rear window if the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides, and the top 4 inches of the front side windows. There is a limited exception for medical necessity with a doctor's prescription, which allows for tinting to be applied to the front side windows as well. Michigan does not have a specification for the darkness of the window application, but does prohibit applications with a solar reflectivity greater than 35%.

So I have hamburger, brats, chicken, etc.. I may get a little more just in case.

I have the chips and dip that Sevs brought, the Apple pie that hobo brought.. most of the soda, etc.. I have some ice cream sandwiches and a bit of ice cream in the freezer also.

So I wouldn't worry about bringing much.. we'll have plenty of food. I can make another fruit salad as well...

I'm not well stocked on beer.. so if you guys want that.. feel free to bring some. Maybe another couple 2 liters of soda? If anyone wants a side dish (pasta salad or coleslaw or whatever).. Otherwise, don't sweat it.. we'll have plenty between what I have and what was left over from last Sunday.

I hope the burgers and chicken and stuff has been in the freezer. Raw meats don't last very long.

burgers were bought sunday morning and have been in a sealed ziplock bag in the fridge. I also have a new box that was in the freezer until this evening. I tossed the left over brats and bought some new ones. The pulled chicken is in a factory sealed bag as well. So all should be good.

I figured, kind of just busting your balls. :happy0180: I keep trying to think of what to bring today!

Basically because all you really need is a Rx for "sun sensitivity" I've never had an issue with getting pulled over. Most everyone's primary will write a script for tinting

Anyone going to Woodward tonight?

I think i'm going to give my car a bath this evening and then go cruise woodward and see what's going on. I'm not sure where everyone goes.. but i'll cruise around and see what I can find.

I think someone said something yesterday about Woodward and Normandy?

I am in Mackinaw City for the weekend but usually between 13 mile and 14 mile road on Woodward has a large amount of nicer cars and people cruising. I think Normandy is right around that area. Just cruise between 13 and 14 just south of Birmingham and you will be golden.
