Tinted Windows and Nose Prints?

I've only had my 997.2 for 4 days now... and already, one day at work, and another in the walmart parking lot (don't worry, I parked in BFE) I got in my car and there's a nose print on the driver's side window.

You guys ever get gawkers at your ride? I guess with tinted windows, they gotta get close to look in?

At least it didn't look like this:



If my 911 ever got that dirty, I'd deserve to be shot in the first place.

it could be the grease mark from the window regulator. that's pretty common.

I see it happen all the time to my ride. I always wondered if its a car burglar or car enthusiastic teens looking inside.

Use the nose print as a reminder "Never leave anything in site" and a car charger leading under the seat tells a theft "FREE IPod charging inside"

Dont go to Wallymart, your at another level

Congrats on the new car - did you get it at the new Aston store? I visit Ferrari of Atlanta semi-regularly (where Aston was previously).

Back on topic, I haven't tinted my last few cars, but I have found a number of fingerprints all over the glass from onlookers.

I got it at the Lambo/Aston Martin dealership off Roswell Rd... they used to be called "The Bimmer Store", now they're "Motorcars of Georgia".

Is there a fix for this? I always get those vertical grease marks.

If only the rest of the country could realize they are above that level as well.
Any business that has classes on how to apply for welfare for it's underpaid employees doesn't deserve to be in business.

Wally World is a staple store up here... living in the mountains on the GA/NC/TN tri-state line... we don't have many shopping options within an hour's drive...

If you want a new XBOX 360 Game, Kerosene Heater for your home, tools, etc... WalCrap is your best bet up here...

For the finer things in life, I find that if I can't get it on Amazon.com, I don't need it... Case in point, I built my entire basement Home Theater (120" Stewart Firehawk Screen w/ Sony Bravada 1080p projector, Denon Components) from Amazon.com.
