Adventures along the journey, thoughts, people and places. We'll send out an update once a month with the latest.
What we did: Tinted all the windows with a 20% ceramic tint. The windshield is 70% and greatly reduces the amount of heat we feel while driving. Definitely worth doing!

Hewitt is working with us to match it to the Turbo Boost gauge.) Installed the temperature […]
