Thumbs up Pics & Intro

Hello Everyone..

My name is Nate and just wanted to introduce myself. I am from Houston and have been lurking the GL forum since we ordered our GL back in late June. We took delivery of our GL (our first MB) last month and the weather here in Houston finally cooperated this weekend so I decided to take a few pics.

Yall have been very helpful and this is a wonderful message board.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Congratulations on your 1st MBZ. As Nevada Jack has said to many of us here and will continue the tradition, "enjoy it in good health". We had our more than three years ago and we love it. No problems. I like the exhaust finish on the new ones.

Regards,

Congrats! Have a question. With the new LED Daytime Running Lamps, does your switch even have a foglamp position (pull the knob outwards) aside for the rear foglamp (2 clicks outwards)? I'm guessing that the 2010's don't have foglamps any longer?

Nice wide angle lens by the way! Great composition.

Thanks Guys!

MB_inspired: I actually leave the lights on auto all the time, so I have not checked. Though I think I do remember seeing a fog light icon, so perhaps you can pull out the switch..
