Re: [MBZ] Car color and temperature

It really doesn't matter what the law says does it? I still will say that less is better from a safety standpoint. Darker tint is like looking through sunglasses at night. I don't know what % my windows are tinted but I know it would be easy to back into things if I did not roll down the windows

Re: [MBZ] Car color and temperature

Whoever said the issue was not the untimate high temperature but how long it took to reach that point was on to something. I would wager that even a white/white car with windows rolled up will eventually hit 136 degrees when the ambient temperature is over 90. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 10:03 AM, Don

Re: [MBZ] Car color and temperature

My black 300d has dark tinted windows and they make great shade if your a/c works and great heaters if it doesn't. I ride with the windows down a lot. They are too dark and have to be rolled down to see well in the night too. They really are dangerous in the dark unless you think about the idea th

Just to interject something extra, I once had a new 77 Olds Omega with with a white vinyl top and white vinyl interior. In the summer, I rarely ran the AC. This car was cooler inside on a hot day than any car I'd owned before or since. It did not have tinted windows either. Xtra info to conside

[MBZ] Car color and temperature

I built a min/max recording thermometer kit recently (to hone my SMC soldering skills), and had the bright idea to use it to determine how much hotter a black car gets in the sun than a light colored car - silver in this case. The recent over 100F temps seem the perfect time to test. I left the the
