My wagon froze.

We got a bit of a cold snap so no work and no driving today. But the wagons in my driveway were holding their own in their natural habitat, I can't wait for our March road trip to Taos, NM for hitting the slopes and watching the boys play some riveting ice hockey!

I'm loving the color more and more! It's never the same shade and varies from greenish to steel blue to a grey with a bit of a violet shade. This is why every photo of Indigo blue looks so different on-line. It's because the colors looks different every time in real life as well.

You have a unique color matching a unique car! You need to get that bad boy inside the garage ASAP!

Wagon looks great! Dallas definitely had a big freeze but same here I didn't have work today either. Did the 4matic work out well for you today?
So glad I got the heated steering wheel. It's been plenty helpful!


Here's some pics.

Qtip, I didn't drive today other than turned it around so the front would get some sun to melt the ice on the windshield. The only thing better than the heated steering wheel so far has been the 360 camera that came handy this morning when I got in and out of my driveway. Tomorrow I'll give it a go, I gotta go watch the Stars in Dallas!

I love the subtleness of my Indigo sedan. Like a steel blue, but a lot more going on in it if the light is just right. Plus, I drove it up from Palm Springs where I got it, and not one stone chip! So, it's a durable color, right?

Definitely, the indigo blue, palladium silver and steel grey are by far the most durable colors and yet beautiful.
