    Speaking of knives, I found this one open laying in a CVS parking lot on my way to the gym this morning. It looks like they sharpened it with a bench grinder but the blade is still straight.

    I'm not complaining, it's free. Hope everyone has a good Sunday, this outlaw life has to be put on pause for church.

    Inquiring minds want to know. I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad you asked that question.

    Mr Ruthless may have a better explanation than I do. What I think is correct is that it was originally used in busses and it has a strip at the top to block the sun out better than traditional windshields. This particular video I watched they were actually ordered for UPS delivery vehicles because they have a really tall windshield. The glass guy cut them down to the exact size of the 359 he was installing them in. IMG_5237.png

    Regardless of what you do 2500 is too cheap.

    Bus glass has a brow on top as well as bottom that’s tinted darker than normal. I used to put tint on bottom of mine till Arkansas tore my lil ### up about it. It definitely takes the glare off the top of your hood. One thing I never understood is why the bus needed that tint on bottom with no hood

    From what I recollect school buses used to flip it, so that the blue was on top.

    Or I guess, the reverse would be the truth- that the blue was on top on buses, and guys that put it on trucks, flipped it upside down to keep the glare off the hood. Like you don’t see school buses with a visor/

    Well I've seen people flip windows and put the shade on the bottom. I just didn't know what it was called. I bought a 359 from a Cow hauler in Brownwood and he would do that all the time.
