    When I first started hearing this, I thought it was a joke, but I am now wondering. lol
    If it is real, it must have come about in the last 10 or 12 years.

    That's not nice. I have extra dark tint on mine because the windows are 5 feet tall......and because I like to pick my nose in traffic and flip it at Mega drivers.

    I here that FMCSA is going to exempt Volvo’s from the tint rules, only way Swift can get drivers for their Volvo’s.
