One more...

Thanks cj...

In this one you can see the rain clouds in the upper left hand part of the image and even see a hint of the rain starting to fall. To the east of the city all is clear...

You show the GL in a real performing arts mode...:-) Maybe next year I will attempt Mt. Charleston close by and reaches 11,000 feet and lots of snow.

Nice shots...I like the snow covered road and trees...

Nice shots!! The Lower Peninsula has gotten it's fair share of snow the past couple of weeks. Glad to see the U.P. is suffering as usual.

Nice photos. I take it you were pleased with the performance?

I am heading to Mt Shasta, CA tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will be in a rental and not the GL. There's not many opportunities to drive in snow around here.

You'll have NO issues with the GL in the snow, that's for sure!

I am very pleased with the performance. I just put new Yokohamas on it which helped.

I was suprised with the amount of snow on the ground down there though.

That black/black setup of your GL is just gorgeous. To top that off, there isn't a speck of dirt on it.

For those who have been there this is shot from the Summit Overlook at about 4700 feet. Snow can be seen on the higher peaks on a very overcast and chilly day. No GL in this shot...

(I use a large file to enhance the effect of the scene.)

I ran out of superlatives a while ago and now can't even find any emoticons to describe my awe at this shot. I will just observe a moment of silence.

Steve, do you think that Jack pushes the GL everywhere to keep from getting any dust, including brakepad dust on it, or does he take a detail kit with him to the shoots?

Sorry Jack, I'm sincerely jealous. I should change my signature to being a 2007 GL450 with Macadamia leather interior and Sodium Chloride exterior.
