Haha....well. Basically the film can block part of the UV/IR light and reduce the amount of heat get into the car "compared" to the one without. Just like your sunglasses
hmm, I thought it was uv + light get absorbed and converted into heat (in turn ir radiation from earth surface) which got reflected by earths atomsphere back to earth and subsequently caused temperature to go up.

so seems to me blocking uv + light is important but not necessarily IR.

you are half right about age of 3 and without going into a lot of technical details, let me quote Maria Montessori: "The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six."

of course, the later you leave it, the harder it will be. in fact, I would argue by age 1-1.5, kids should know yelling wont get them anywhere and they should always take initiative to solve problem for themselves.
you are 100% wrong on this she like it, she is too soft so at home and at work so need to train her to become much more stronger.
she know I treat her like a cadet, I told her and she like it
she even told me to treat the kids the same way.
It is the best training for my kids, when they get to high school then they can protect them self or when they go back to England for school or work.

I alway let them yell until they are board at yelling.
or the best way is to put them in a norty corner and stand there until they know they are wrong.
we all bbc do this and it works

Want happens if I am not hear then she got no 1 to help
maybe I am from a Army background so we all think like this.
Afterall, she is the one who will be with you for the rest of the life. So I would prefer an easier way to be with her, so she would probably be easier on me when I am getting old.

Some workout is a must for the go kart,
i now go to gym twice a week to train my muscles to against the G-force,
so you can turn in quicker into the corner and faster on the way out.

I saw some used kart selling at 20k HKD, hmm....tempting
