It's time that your baby grew up. Bring that bad boy back to Colorado so I can introduce you to some dirt roads and mess up that beautiful finish. Snowed today in the mountains above 9,500 ft. That should do the trick quite nicely too. I'd actually be quite happy if I could just dirty up your treads to be quite frank.
I swear, it's hard to believe that we took delivery on the same day. Yours still looks like it just left the showroom, whereas mine looks like it never knew what a showroom looked like.
Well I guess I have to tell the truth... I only take the GL out of the garage to photograph it and have it detailed. Never has seen rain, snow, sleet or anything other than sunshine and soft water washes. The trip across the US last October was all done with mirrors and magic...:-) Originally Posted by Stumblefoot

I baptized my S550 with a snowstorm on the way home from Denver and the GL got that famous mud bath at Grand Junction on the way home. I will not drive in, nor will my NAV accept if offered any road directions involving Colorado. To quote the Court Jester... blasphemy to even indicate my dear GL needs any seasoning and to "dirty the treads" is beyond comprehension.
See you at the detailer Brian... should I send you the directions...hahaha

I guess there is something to be said about size when it's too big.

People will find it hard to believe that color is Verde Brooke. I just love the way it changes depending on the light.
We were up in Keystone for an extended weekend and I kid you not, one fella told me at the golf course how it was the most amazing green color he'd ever seen. Then, the very next day at a lunch spot, someone told us what a beautiful brown vehicle we had.
Enjoy your new ride!!!

It was great meeting you Jack, finally! I'll post my pics when I get home, but here are a couple that Jack took...one of Jack & I next to my GL and the other with Jack & I in front of both GL's.
We had a great lunch and I just wish we could have spent more time together.
