When window tinting was first getting popular one of my neighbor's 16 year old kid decided he needed to tint his windows. He was too cheap to pay to have it done. So he did it himself. He was not smart enough to know to peel off the inside clear covering, so it had horrible looking visibility that just got worse and worse as it aged. He came to ask if I had any ideas on how to make it stick down. I suggested he peel off the clear layer. That came off in chunks since it had been on so long, but he spent the time to get most of it. Then it started fading and turned purple. Pretty soon I was calling him Prince just to tease him because it was so purple.

He finally decided to peel it back off and he was out there in the hot summer sun roasting inside the car peeling little pieces. I remember mowing the yard, and then getting a shower, and grabbing a beer to go check on his progress. Nothing better than a neighbor standing there, drinking a cold beer, making smart ass comments, as he sweated like a race horse peeling off little pieces and cussing. He was not happy. I have often wondered if he has any tinting on his car's windows now.
