Cities that will definitely be visited are:
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
Columbia, MD
Baltimore
NY
Chicago
St. Louis
Boulder
Santa Fe
Phoenix
LA

Any body have mechanic they'd recommend in those places [phone numbers or
actual shop names would be good as well]

Recommendations for being able to totally black out the windows [pretty dark
already]?
