I had young guy drop his teenagers Model 3 off in a corvette. He didnt like the Tesla and believed in the alternative fuel that Porsche is working. He also mentioned the battery foot print, along with the possibility of N. Korea taking out the power grid. 

I had the Buick version of the Aztec. Drove great in the winter never had any real issues other than a wheel bearing at 120k, pretty normal. Went to a 2008 Honda Ridgeline after that. Wish I still had that one.

My friend had the same year S10. I would keep the AMG maybe since its rare. There really are a lot of variables for reliability. First its where it was assembled, then how its driven & maintained. I wonder if someone out there has a reliable Pontiac Aztec, like the guy in Breaking Bad?? I knew a guy years ago that had one sitting in his drive way broken down, all beat up missing a headlight. Yeah, he was was wacked out on drugs.

I've got a 73 ford in my yard that starts everytime, even in the middle of winter. I somehow doubt that anything modern will do the same 50yrs from now.

I've never owned a Ford but known several people with issues across different models. My American vehicle ownership is limited to my first truck which was a custom 1985 Chevy S10.
 
I think the longest I've kept a car is 4-5 years. My current AMG took me over 2 years to find since it is somewhat rare. I absolutely love the car but coming up on the 2 year mark and getting itchy.

Ford is "First On Race Day" baby!! I just heard this one about GMC "Gotta Mechanic Comming" lmfao

Thats true, every car maker has its issues, but that Fix or repair is complete BS, unless you’ve witnessed it first hand. I personally seen tons of trouble with other peoples Chevys. What ive seen with Tesla I would never buy one. My Fords rungreat. Got an 88 Mustang with 400k plus on original motor with no compression loss. Also got a 2008 Fusion 160k runs perfect. Also, just got a 22 Explorer last year. 

Its just the ones that ask if you know how to drive it? Yes, your vehicle has been around for over 5 years.

Hey hey hey 😠🤣

Yeah, that would never be covered as anything else with Tesla. They are #1 for the worst quality control. The customers suck too, bunch posers. I charge a bunch for dealing with these.

I have used Global HP & QDP.  Both excellent films. They shrink just as good. Probably can handle more heat without burning. 

The civic BG is the same. Seems a lot of BGs are steeper with higher decks. I now charge Sedans the same price as a full size SUV. Also, more sedans require 3rd brake light removal. 

"Stop resisting"...zzzztt,zzzztt..."you're only making this harder on yourself"...zzzztt,zzzztttt,zzzzzttttt...."get rhe cuffs dano"....

“Put the heatgun down and step away from the vehicle.” Sounds like a cop giving commands. Im going to start a Tint Policing. I’ll show up and bust you trying to dry shrink or applying films I dont approve of. I can just see the news story…”Local Tinter Tased and shackled while Dry Shrinking.”

Ive done this car twice now without covering anything in the trunk and has turned out fine. I’m using a spray bottle not a tank. This new model Accord does suck and the angle of the rear windshield is a lot steeper then the old one. 

I spray glass cleaner (sprayaway) into the gasket and jam a triangle wedge into the seal, cut the pattern as mentioned above and lay it last after the seal has relaxed. I might try the wire technique tho just to try out something new.

Try using a liner for your pattern. Just trim it exactly to the outside of the glass. Then place over your piece of film and trim exact or outside the pattern for more film to tuck. 

Put the heatgun down and step away from the vehicle. You are going to crack a windshield and then be like most tinters and won’t ever tint a front windshield again. My advice for front windshield dont do them until you are very good at the rest of the car. The front windshield is a laminated glass that has many weak points from rock chips etc. Care is needed during the shrinking process. Also it is the only window on the vehicle that gets eye banged everyday. 
 
I can see that you are shrinking sideways and that tells me exactly your level of experience. There’s a reason tinters charge the most for a front windshield as compared to all the other windows. 

Sorry the quality is so low, it's 15 years old, but here's the Ryk shrink...
