Pics Finally! (GL & ML)

Finally got some time this morning, weather of course did not cooperate as it is very cloudy and threat of rain. Oh well, I'm not a good photographer anyway! Here are the specs on the cars:

'08 GL 550 Iridium Silver/Black w/ ipod kit, illum door sills, hitch, rear seat entertainment, and keyless go.
'08 ML 350 Edition 10 Arctic White w/ Mac & Black interior. Premium 1 pkg, cd changer, heated front seats, running boards, and Invision DVD system.

Here are a couple of the GL in comfort mode and sport mode to show the more aggressive stance in sport. Actually to me, I prefer sport mode most of the time as the comfort mode seems to be too plush--keep in mind my rear end might not be the best judge of this considering I normally have been driving a Honda Ridgeline, Ford Excursion, and BMW M5 (with H&R springs), so your opinion might differ. Regardless, the car looks much better in sport mode imo.

Wow - great shots - love the one of the three lined up in front of your garage. Nice garage too! Gotta admit, my eye keeps getting drawn to the GL.

Looks like the GL might have a tight squeeze getting through those doors.

Blaze--Sorry, I have no idea how much the running boards were. Basically everything was done as a complete price that we were both happy with.

ReachWest--The GL actually fits thru the garage doors with plenty of room. However, the GL and ML actually stay in the attached garage which has the much larger double door. The lowly M5 got moved to the exterior garage with the rest of the vehicles

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I must say both the GL and ML are two of the nicest vehicles I have owned. They are so luxurious and look so good (especially in person). I have gotten tons of compliments on the street already. Personally, I can not find much wrong with either of these vehicles!

Very nice pics of equally nice cars, Ryan. You would get along just fine with boxboss who is also an MB and Bimmer fan.

WOW! Fantstic pics. I like the angels of the shots. The three together look very cool. Enjoy them and keep the pics coming.

Might I suggest posting them in the pics sticky so we can refer back t them more easily? I don't want to suggest cross posting but it' real nice to have one spot to peruse all the pics.
