I have the rear sunshade and just had my windows tinted.... And a baby on the way.............
IMO,
If I could only have one, I would take the tint....... Sunshade is cool but the ends are uncovered.......

congrats on the baby. Your first? Mine is 6 months old. I just wanted something that would block the sun a little better. I have a medium tint all the way around, and I figured the shade would help a little bit more. Maybe not??

Congrats to you on your 6month old.. My son is not here yet. Nov. 7 due date. But I have tried the baby seat on the left, center, right.. The center gave the best protection with the Sunshade.... Now with tint all sides are protected.. Shade would cost more than adding a darker tint in the rear.....
We need a new baby thread.....

What works for you and your hamster is a lot different than a stuck cd.... Your hamster has a tail to grab.


I like most of the members here have excused your stupid comments.. I even felt sorry for you after reading the following:

That depends on how large your gf is

J/k. Room is good enough to take care of business IF you move the seat up a little bit. The convenience 4 doors is exellent though!

Drew, You got the tab for the holiday inn. :p

A little OT here but screw it.....

Whenever I get on the bike nowadays, I get nervous thinking "what if". So riding is no longer enjoyable to me since I've always got that thought in the back of my mind. I never thought I would sell the bike, I dont need the money, but after having the baby, I couldnt imagine something ever happening to me on the bike.

For me at least, having the baby changed everything. Things arent about me anymore. Its all about the baby. Sort of why I went with the C32 instead of an M3. Easier to load the baby. Its still not as easy to load as our LX470, but probably easier than a coupe would be.

edit: BTW, having LATCH components in the car makes everything so much easier. I hope your car is late enough to have them!

your wife is almost 15 years old?? Or the bike?

I've been married a little over 3 years now. She didnt ask me to sell the bike, it was my choice. I have a track day next friday, the bike goes on the market after that.

My kid is going to start with dirt bikes when he's old enough, street bike he can do on his own. Maybe once he's at that age, I'll get another. Think it would be time for a cruiser though, no more sport bikes for me.

Good on My bike is almost 15..I agree with the sport bike danger factor. Since my bike compared to todays is slow, I just cruise.
