Low 90's now which is on the high average. Overnight lows are now in the mid-60's. High temps are reached about 4:00 or so it may still be warm from noon to 4:00, but the rest of the time is quite comfortable.

October through April here is as about as good as it gets and sometimes does require the heat and top up. Snow days are rare but do happen...:-)

Be Careful

NevadaJack, be careful with those curbs and concrete blocks in the parking spots, your last picture shows how close (low) the SL is.

Yeah... this is not as close as it looks but I am concerned every time I pull up to one of those. The car is not that long so allowing some extra space is a wise move. Thanks for keeping me aware of it.

How's the weather been there? It cooled down a bunch here, I'm sure the high desert is starting to get really nice.

I love those light interiors. I had a E320 with Ash and a S430 with Stone. However, I found them a little sensitive to jeans and the blue rub off and other stains. Went with black for the first time on the GL and loved it. Does not show anything (except dust) and is easy to wipe down. That is why I went with the black again in the SL.
