Gorgeous, what a difference! That's what a few of us have got now... suits silver really well, in fact I love em on a silver body.

The new wheels look very nice. A beautiful car. And the color in those trees... magnificent!

Hotel Calif: That is Georgia in the fall. Will you believe two weeks between the before and after? Thats what we enjoy about Georgia. Soon we will go to our home in Florida for the winter and return in the spring when everythig is in full bloom. I guess we have the best of both worlds, however, your weather is enviable all year round. Thanks for the compliments and thank Chris (B4MMY) for helping me post the pictures. JOE

Work takes me to the Atlanta area periodically, and the fall weather there is beautiful. I was there in October 2003 and drove around for a bit admiring the colors which were still not quite at their peak. I grew up in Virginia which has some beautiful color of its own. I remember one particular tree at college (VA Tech in Blacksburg, VA) that I walked by when going from apt to class. That tree was such an electric orange, I would swear it had to be plugged in.

One of these days I'm going to tour New England in the fall. That would be quite a road trip in the SL.

Being from New York I am very familiar with the New England fall colors, they are unbelivable. I am sure you will enjoy it. My granddaughter graduated from Virginia Tech. and is now an assistant fashion editor for Marie Claire magazine in New York city. We are very familiar with your Campus, beautiful country. Your football team is awsome. They embarassed my team Geogia Tech. with their lopsided win this year.
