Find the GL...

I was out shooting some pics today and shot this of a Condo complex with a waterfall. I shot the image and when I processed it I noted a GL450 or 320 in the pic. It is in good company since it is inside the fence...



Here is one of the towers in the complex...

Man-o-Man... that had to take some serious bucks to construct that complex. It's hard to tell, but it looks as if several of the units are empty. I wonder if the mortgage crisis has impacted a building such as this, where I'm sure the developer had pre-sold most of the building before moving a shovel full of dirt.

Oh yeah... great pics Jack.

Condos



That is just one of the two buildings Brian. They were 85% sold out late last fall when I toured the place with an agent and fellow forum members, notably Mary and Bill (the CL contributors.) At that time the low price was $2.1 million for 2100 square feet. Recent information indicates the prices have dropped significantly and I am sure there are some foreclosures as well as desperation sales going on. I am sure the $23 million penthouse may be vacant...

Here is a shot of the entire complex with two more towers scheduled but I am sure that is delayed. Only about 2.5 miles from my house. A few more pics are on my site listed in the signature.

Hey Jack,

I noticed that you removed your front license plate holder. Good move!

I never had it mounted. I have not had a front plate since I bought the 2003 E320 and never let the dealer install it on the S430 and S550, as well as the GL550.

Ooops! My mistake. I thought the Colorado dealer had mounted it on you GL before you picked it up.

No... I was adamant that it not be installed. Greg was well aware of my desires... but Greg is also one of those rare people who listen to their customers concerns.

Beautiful GL! The first GL I ever saw was a white 450 and I instantly fell in love with it.

GL 320cdi, Chevrolet Avalanchero, GLE 350 (on order)
Nice truck, and even nicer 10 gallon brass coach lamps!

Don't get the big issue with front plates, though. We have not had them here for about 20 years, and now they are thinking of bringing them back and everyone is up in arms. I don't get the "I'm not drilling into a 100,000 car" business. There are all sorts of holes drilled into your car, none by anyone that will be as careful as you are. Plus, where are you sposta put your "Mom's Taxi" plate without a bracket, huh?

Cleaned the paint with Zymol HD Cleanse, then clayed the remaining rough spots and finally used Zymol Concours wax to finish.

It was not the drilling of the holes but putting that ugly plate on the front of the cars that bothered me most. The plate just detracts from the beauty of the front of a MB. It is legal here in Nevada if there is not a specific mounting area for the plate.
