Window tints are the bane of modern cars. Reversing in the dark looking thorugh darkened glass... great idea.

Not possible to flood a modern car. Mrs SiC managed to do it to the A4 after stalling it when manuovering on the drive.

Took a few start attempts with full throttle to get it to clear its throat.
