sounds like more kicking back and relaxing and just having a great time with some beverages. As it gets closer to travel time, we can coordinate something.

Sounds good! I live in BFE so the only thing near me is literally cornfields, and bars within a 30minute radius.

So I've been spending the last week or so determing what I want to do with my savings, and how I want to invest it, and spread the investments, and I've got to say.... I've got no idea what I want or should do with it to get my best returns without major risk of loss. :/

that's why you talk to a professional. LOL. It's always risk, but determining how much risk is the hard part. Being younger, you can take more risk.

I try to be a DIYer with investing, I used to do the stock market when I was 18-19 before it took a crap, but to really get the good gains you need to be able to monitor the market all day, and especially on market open and close. Not something I have time for anymore. I've been looking into some pretty risky IRA investments because like you said, I am young and can take a bit more risk.

I've got this thing about if I lose my money, then it's all on me, if someone else loses my money... Well that's not good for them.

I try to keep investing in faster cars. Or car parts that will attain that result. I heard that was the secret of life....driving fast in the direction you want to go.

So I love tint on the windshield. Plus it's fairly discreet while offering a good improvement while driving during the day by keeping the car much cooler and cutting down on glare. At night it cuts down on glare from on coming drivers nicely as well while barely cutting down on the distance I can see (lost the very very far edge of the headlight beam, high beams seem normal though so it could just be me).

Anyway here's the pictures:

Before:







After:







This is what it looks like from a distance while it's raining. I love it lol

45% on the sides, 60% on the windshield. To someone who doesn't know it's there I don't think they would notice it but at certain angles you can tell it's just slightly darker than a normal windshield

Long day. Filled up 5 apaches, a blackhawk, 2 Lakotas, and a Jetstream twice. I'd prolly burst into flames if I lit a match.

Looks good. Your side windows look really close to mine.
