Off Topic...

Sounds beautiful! I lived in Annapolis on Mill Creek and spent most of my time on the Bay boating. Had a deposit on a unit in St Michaels on the water but decided to go to Hilton Head instead when we retired. Loved the eastern shore and could never get enough crabs in any form. The Bay has the best boating and is one of the most picturesque spots in the world.

A little late, but I made it to red rock last weekend. A little dirty after driving through Big Bear snow.

Regards,
Mel

Thanks everyone. I was surprised myself that it looked this clean after the 1 week storms that hit SoCal plus the drive through the snow. I guess there is something magical about those red rocks.

Fresh from the spa and wearing new Keds!






Cobblestone Auto Spa did a not-terrible job cleaning it up. One drawback (as you can see by the missing tow hook cover) is their blowers are really strong. Sadly the cover was run over before we could recover it so now they're out $23 (I think it is) to replace it.

I really like the new tread pattern. I haven't noticed more or less road noise even on the local expressways (the Loop 101 Pima Freeway) which recently had a re-striping, leaving scraped areas where the old lines used to be. The ride is every bit as smooth, the tires should last a little longer because they're cross terrains versus performance tires, and if I do want to take it in the dirt they should do better than the OEMs.

Enjoy the eye candy!

Thanks Oknish. Yeap, I am sure you are familiar with those mats. I had to go with the black mats, as I have two toddlers and a new born. Mac was suicide as is, imagine beige mats as well.

I can't even imagine what the back of your front seats look like My 5 year old is getting good about not kicking them but my (almost) 2 year old still has a ways to go. She will say, "Don't kick the seat" and then she will kick it and then she says "Don't kick it like that".

LOL, I hear you. My twin boys who are 3 have a habit of kicking the back seat, so we've had some battles. I wish MB offered a mac/black interior like some of the BMW models.

Couple of bucks cheaper than the OEMs, but they just did a great job on the 'round trip to Laguna Beach with Barb for our anniversary.

Quick catch on a rainy day...

I grabbed this shot just as the storm came over the mountain on a very cool, cloudy day in Las Vegas. Took the camera in the car today because there were some nice clouds but that didn't last long. A black car on a cloudy day is about as good as you can get for showing the beauty of it.

(The GL was auditioning for the Arts Center...:-)
