How else would You stop UV rays from entering the car???

I have been using tinted windows for 20 years to do just this…

that is windows with the tint added…

Not tinted glass, which to me does nothing??

If the question said – can a “normal” car outrun radar…
the answer would be NO…

Yes VT..

Over inflating Your tyres to a pressure above the recommended pressure is an excellent idea.. All Motoring associations agree with this…
If Your tyres are TOO high a pressure then You will wear the centre of the tyre out.

BUT if Your tyres are at a lower pressure than recommended then You will wear both sides of the tread out…

Car manufacturers recommend a tyre pressure where You will be the most comfortable…

a light colored car IS definately COOLER in Summer sitting in the SUN than a dark colored car…
Hence Our last 4 cars have been WHITE….

A local tool seller had a white colored Panel Van in which He carried His tools to sell.
He replaced the white Panel Van with a Dark Blue colored Panel Van same as the previous one
but He couldn’t pick up the tools in the Dark colored Van during the hot summer months.. they were too hot..
only the front compartment of the vans was air conditioned…
