My assistant(and friend) who had previously served as Commonwealth's Attorney for the largest county in the state has retired- being a diabetic, cancer survivor, and over 70 made him too vulnerable to do anything but work from home. I hate to lose him; his experience was invaluable. On the bright side, his replacement is a brilliant young woman who will handle the grand juries as well as any necessary legal research.
As for books, I'm currently reading a book my son suggested:
True crime has been a big category for quite a few years now. When worked for a publisher I wanted to see who the average true crime reader was so I staked out a busy bookstore. A good percentage of buyers were sweet little old ladies!
It’s hard to believe that even young people would think like that. We were all young at one time and when we think back to some of the things we did back then we shudder.
The expression "clueless youth" didn't just pop up out of thin air.
We didn't know back then the brain doesn't get completely formed until late 20s. Especially the part that relates to danger and doing things beyond your control. Maybe applies to young people and some older ones who drive faster than they should
From an evolutionary perspective there is some group benefit from young people being risk takers. If young Johnny eats that unfamiliar fruit he might die or he might discover a new food source for the tribe. If no one takes the risk then no one may survive.

This is the first car I've owned that I can feel the excessive heat from the sun through the panorama sun roof - even with the black fabric electric sunshade closed. I think it's because the fabric shade is more porous than previous shades I have had.
My brother suggested installing 3M Crystaline on the inside of the entire glass roof (their darkest and most heat repellent + UV) which he had installed on his roof. He said it solved his heat problem.
So I am taking the car in this afternoon to the guy I always use and he will apply the tint to both roof window panes. His price is $200 + tax. The side and rear window are already tinted with Crystaline.
I checked around and all the places I contacted were $200-$300 for installation. Hopefully this will solve my problem.
Installation is more difficult since they have to cover the seats, etc., due to the fact that they are working "up" to apply the tint rather than on side windows. They use liquid to smooth the tint to adhere to the class and I don't want that stuff all over my leather seats.
Anyone else tint the panorama roof? If so, what experience did you have? 🤓
So, on the M2C hunt I mentioned I found one at a Tennessee Ford dealer. The sunroof and DCT scream "Buffy's Graduation Present," but even worse, check out the floor mats- the car was definitely owned by a complete and utter moron: 2019 M2C
Like the car. Agree, it looks like “mummy and daddy” bought Buffy a graduation present. The floor mats are the dead give away. I’ve seen those floor mats advertised in the back of Car and Driver. Never could understand how they sold ANY of them. Still, I could live with the car sans the floor mats.
As I posted over on the CCBA topic, The Kia Store East just received an Indigo Edition Stinger. The are only knocking off $3,500, which is only the Kia Motors rebate. Most other dealers are knocking off another $4,500-$5,000. graphicguy's dealer in Cincy is expecting one but has yet to receive it. I may yet go look at it but I dread the games I'd have to play. I also entered into an email correspondence with the Genesis dealer, which is currently located in one corner of Oxmoorons Hyundai. No RWD G70 Sport 3.3 cars in stock, but come in and test drive an AWD. Right. One of the things I really hate about Oxmoorons is that they add that stupid flasher to the CHMSL; just what I want- some minimum wage goofball splicing into the factory wiring harness.

@abacomike, I wasn’t a fan of the fabric shades over my panoramic or regular sized moon roofs. Mine were light so there were some reflective properties to them which were beneficial. All in all they allowed too much heat and brightness to the interior for my liking especially during the summers. Can anyone tell me why they use them rather than solid sliders? For the kind of money you spend for the car you shouldn’t have to spend another $200 to mitigate a problem.

Oh I see. Hey Johnny, that looks interesting, why not try eating some of those raw cashew nuts over there?
(Cashews Cashews are another delicious product that should never, ever be eaten raw. (When you buy them, they’ve usually been roasted.) Native to the Amazon, the cashew is not really a nut, but rather a seed that protrudes oddly from the bottom of a fruit (also edible, though rarely seen outside the tropics) called the cashew fruit. You may have noticed that cashews are never found in their shell as almonds or peanuts are, and that’s because when raw, they’re covered with anacardic acid, closely related to the acid that makes poison ivy so irritating. It’s much worse when you eat it.)

They installed the Crystaline 40 tint inside both pieces of glass - the stationary one in the back and the movable one in the front. I already noticed a difference in the heat and light transmission through the glass and the shade. Hopefully it will also be good for the leather seats.

My wife's X3 has pano roof and a solid shade.
The GTI has a pano roof that opens over top the roof.... and, has a mesh shade. Not as good as solid, for keeping out the heat. Found that out today (90 F)

Driver, it's not the air temperature that makes it hot inside the car - it's the direct sunlight that causes the intense heat. Here in South Florida the direct rays of the sun are much more intense than in Toronto or New York. We are the farthest southern land mass In the US - even further south than the Mojave Desert in CA where the temps are 105+ degrees.
my theory with the moonroof, pano or otherwise, is if it is below 90, or cloudy, the roof should be open. so the idea of tinting it (or worrying about the shade) makes no sense to me!

All these sunroof problems make me happy that I avoided getting a sunroof when we shopped for this Malibu. I gave up a couple of options just to avoid the mandated sunroof.
Every month our electric utility sends an email about our electric useage. This month it says our home is 32 out of 100 similar households.
Similar households used 1053 Kw. Efficient households used 790 Kw. Our house used 720 kw.
And we're #32 for efficiency.
Is this the new math?
We get that too, usually telling us we use twice the electricity of similar households. They don’t bother to mention that those other household heat with oil or gas while ours is 100% electric.
I’m convinced they do that to make us feel bad.

While parked outside?
no, you close it then. And when you get back in, open it wide to blow the hot air out!
I go with the 5x65 AC plan. 4 windows down, roof open, and 65 MPH cools it right off!
speaking of outside, went to dinner tonight for the first time since March in NJ. outside of course, but the place had big tents set up over all the outside tables. And the warmth does not bother me. Local brewery/restaurant that we like to frequent. Just nice to be waited on and not have to bring the food home in Styrofoam.

When I lived in Phoenix for college I had the (2+1)x55 plan with my Sunbird - both windows and the aftermarket sunroof. The car had no AC.

Stick, just spend one summer down here and it will make sense - believe me! With 88 degrees and 75% humidity, you keep the sunroof closed and the AC running on high fan speed. But it's usually 95 degrees out with 75%+ humidity.
I open my sunroof in winter when it's 65 - 80 degrees an low humidity - about a dozen times a year. I love driving at night with the roof open in winter - delightful. But if my car had no sunroof, I would not be disappointed. 😜🤪🤓
I never bother opening the sunroof, but I love the fact it lets in light and in cooler weather I can see the sky. It is like if I lived in a condo apartment....I would need a balcony, even if I never went out on it. I know in my mind, I could go out if I wanted to. Or if I was sick in bed....I still need a car just so I know I can go somewhere...if I really have to.
I was watching a video from SuperSpeederRob who rents exotic cars. He was ranting that some of his competitors use some sort of odometer blocker to keep mileage from recording on the cars. Then when they sell them they defraud the buyer with altered mileage.
I wonder how common this is on every day cars. Say someone installs one of these on their TLX so that at trade in time they get more money? Potentially you could have a lot of miled up cars being sold everywhere. How would you know?
unless I am getting something cheap, purely to have it be cheap, anything I buy will have a moonroof. Only exception is if it is some sort of spare utility vehicle that is mostly going to sit around unless there is work to be done (like a pick up)

Same here. I’m usually higher than every other house around. In my case, my house is bigger than all my neighbors with the two additions so it makes sense.
