    He will have to get his own...
    The begging could be useful when mods/upgrades are on the horizon...

    Glad you like the car. As a side note my wife drives our E55 AMG (that I have a secret tune file installed) and I can hardly ever get the keys from her. "go put miles on your car" is the common phrase or "give me the keys to your car" the other quote.

    I typically only see the car when it needs washed, detailed or serviced. But I get my moneys worth. hehe

    A little off topic. Does anyone knows if does exist windows that are capable of becoming black at a switch of a button? How much does it cost and what company makes them?
    I saw some years ago a Citroen prototype to this technology and i was wondering about that.
    I imagined a cop stoping me and saying why do you have black windows and before i stopped switched them to clear visibily and saying: no sir i do not have something like that)))

    I know it is POSSIBLE, as they have made flexible LCD panels in labs. It would be pretty fragile, though.

    Oh they are very possible and in use today but a custom set would cost a fortune. The Boeing 787 airliner has them instead of slide up/slide down window shades. Some upper end office buildings have them. A certain high level Microsoft exec has them on his house on Lake Washington.

    Exactly, and in all those applications, the material is in between panes of glass or pc. The only viable way, as you said, would be for a custom dual-pane window made for our cars, with the material in between. That would be outrageously expensive. Just like up-armoring our cars(I got bored one day in Iraq and got a quote).

    Haha, do you really want to know??? IIRC, it was around 80-100k for the full package for up to .45cal pistol or 5.56 rifle(non-AP). This included all windows and sunroof, doors, window frames, roof liner, floorboards, engine compartment, trunk and boot were extra. Uprated suspension to handle the extra weight, armored tires. Their armor and glass is proprietary, and a good deal lighter than Conventional. They can make their glass to the same thickness as regular glass.

    They also Increase engine output so that the car still has the same power to weight ratio as before.

    It isn't black but I guess it has been installed in cars before.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass
    "Smart glass has been used in some small-production cars. The Ferrari 575 M Superamerica had an electrochromic roof as standard, and the Maybach has a PDLC roof as option. Some Polyvision Privacy Glass has been applied in the Maybach 62 car for privacy protection purposes."
