We call it Texas Tea; they call it tapwater.

The Climate windscreen is Athermic. It may cause problems if you are using a Radar Detector, aftermarket GPS or a transponder of any sort.

True, but it does offer a "cutout" at the bottom center expressly for that purpose.

I was just going to say, damn! I didn't even have my own car when I was 18. I hope you appreciate your blessings in life. Congrats and Happy Birthday kid.

i do appreciate my blesings in life and trust me , people here dont really appreciate the things they get .. im only 18 but that does not mean im stupid .. i graduated from school with a gpa of 3.98 and im a freshman at the American University of Sharjah which is close by to dubai and so far im an A student ..

in the uae it is very rare to find an 18 year old "kid" without his own car .. everyone here has a car ..
