When people use tints! It's window tint, not window tints.

Dang, two of my favorite bands play in D Standard.

One almost exclusively with the occasional Drop C.

The other uses D Standard, Drop C, and Drop A. Drop A is cool because takes your typical Root/5th power chord structure and it makes it an octave chord.

Another one of my favorites use 8 strings tuned down half a step.

Amen to that. When someone says "tints" I automatically assume that they know next to nothing about cars, thus I dumb down how I speak to them.

Cool story.
Try harder.
Yes. In the BRZ/GR groups, people who say "tints" are typically the same ones that can't follow blog posts that illustrate literally every wheel spec that fits, where to go to buy parts, don't understand why not to buy rep parts, etc.

Not sure why it bothers you so much if you don't fit the description.

I regret to say but those guys at Hennessey are hacks. Can't believe that Steve Tyler and many others spent $$$$$ on those monstrosities.

This reaction probably has more people thinking they need to dumb things down for you compared to using the word tints, just FYI. I've heard plenty of people use the word tints, seems to just be related to what they are accustomed to saying.
