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.

If you note in the picture above the front rims are a little darker than the rear ones...yep, break dust on my GL. Also the dust is layered so evenly here that the entire car gets a nice dust coat. So when I take the pics and raise the black point some, it does not show the dust. Rain spots are never really a problem here. A little extra sharpening and contrast also does wonders...like the old saying goes -- a new coat of paint (or in this case Photoshop) covers a lot of sins...:-)

I don't think they have many bulbs here Brian. The ground is not dirt but a sandy mix of a modified cement...:-) Most plantings are annuals. Some of the trees and shrubs take a beating during a really cold winter. But these trees certainly look healthy...

Wow - thanks for sharing those wonderful pics. Here in Ohio we were just hammered with a 20" snow storm that shattered the previous record set in 1910. Those blossoms are a sight for sore eyes (and that 550's a beaut, too.) My own (much filthier) GL did get around quite nicely in the snow, though.

I remember living in NJ and having 27" in 24 hours and in MD having over 2 feet also...but I didn't have a GL to plow through it...:-)

NVJack, very nice black GL. It sure helps to live in AZ. Black was seriously top contender color wise, but finally opted for Pewter due to the salt and road grime so prevalent here in Nebraska....

But in the desert (AR or NV) the biggest problem is dust. But I am quite pleased with the black GL here. It has not really been a problem keeping it looking nice.

In the past with Porsches and BMW have had really good success with Mcguires Gold Class. Anyone else with wax or maintenance suggestions?>

This is for Newbie2 (Jen) Thought you might like to see this and it may inspire you to come east...
Shot it a couple of weeks ago on a kind of cold day.

Whatever! Sheesh. Some friends you turned out to be! Fine, go enjoy the nice weather up in Williams and ignore our 100-degree temperatures. You know, depending on the days, I have half a mind to come up there and tell you how I feel about it. (If I had half a mind, I'd be dangerous!)
Seriously, what days have you planned to be in Williams?

What the FRIG?!?! You're going to Williams and not coming down to Scottsdale?

I'd definately like to come up and check out the bikes, etc. Barb loves Williams, it reminds her of the Scottsdale area 30 years ago when it was a cow town and not part of the wealth capital of the world.

Would love to see you guys if you can make it. Depending upon where the group ride goes on Saturday, maybe Allen & I will deviate from that & ride down to Scottsdale. This is the 3rd year they've had this event in the Flagstaff/Williams area so I've seen quite a bit of the area. Highway 89A to Jerome is fun, but once you've ridden it a dozen or so times, it gets old.
