It will be fun to have the sun and headlights reflecting off those windows and causing accidents as other drivers are blinded by the reflections.

Resulting in lots of sun-in-the-eyes-caused traffic accidents.

All these morons have to do is send a note to their “messiah” telling him they want cool looking windows. Their “messiah” is the BIG auto industry owner and CEO now.

Each day, California takes another big step into the realm of insanity.

Sometimes I fantasize that that “Big One” earthquake at 9.9 on the Richter scale is the only thing capable of knocking California back to its senses.

I’m sure law enforcement officers would love not being able to see the occupants of any vehicle they stop.

If I were the car czar I would mandate that no cars could be sold in california. I would also point out a wonderful business opportunity for an industry to retrofit cars specifically for california......at a substantial cost.

and the atmosphere will be happier because we won't be emitting as much carbon dioxide," said board chairwoman Mary Nichols.

ROTFLMAO!

I'd love a happier atmosphere but I'm not sure anybody has the answer to what makes the atmosphere happy.

Depopulation is the ultimate goal of all liberal policies. Causing crashes in clown cars resulting the deaths of commoners is exactly what they want.

With all the accidents it will cause, I guess that’s one way to keep cars off the road!

Shouldn’t these clowns be working on a budget? Exactly how much more to the cost of a car did California wish to add with this stroke of geeeeeenius?

Let me guess, some legislator wants to have his/her name associated with some green initiative. It’s precisely the problem, if legislative bodies across the country would focus on what matters vs. the BS (gay marriage, anti-business regulation, etc.) we would be better off. Here in NYS, I’m very thankful for the gridlock!

Jesse Ventura says he knows global warming is real because it gets hot in the car when he sets in traffic. I call it the new ventura effect. LOL

I’ve been blinded by some mirrored windows when I drive to work in the mornings. Not fun.

I was just offered a permanent position in Richmond, VA-I have been working as a contractor for the past 5 months after moving out from CA. I am so glad I have the opportunity to permanently leave California or Titanicfornia. Don’t worry current citizens of the Commonwealth I know the horror of living in Blue states so I am not one of those idiots from CA or NY who moved to other states and for some reason keep pulling the lever for the Donkey.

Sure, great idea. I can just see the freeway at rush hour when the sun glares off everyone’s auto glass and blinds the fools.
