It’s a holiday weekend so post um up!

Hello all!

I was able to wash my wife’s ride and the SL this morning. Just have to vac the insides and dress the tires after I pull them back around front. Unfortunately it’s on to the big dawg next my SUV which will take considerably longer due to it being much bigger than my wife’s GLK. Almost finished though.


All finished!

I'd like to participate but my car is in the garage and I'm too tired after walking 6 miles on the C&O Towpath this morning.
Here are a couple from a previous post. Am I cheating?

Tomorrow is still part of the holiday weekend so…

I am expecting a clean beaut of an SL posted. And not an old pic either lol. … Yes that is cheating. Current pics only. On a different note, what is a C&O Towpath? Where vehicles pullover that need towing??

LOL. Remnants of the towpath used by mules to pull barges up and down the C&O Canal next to the Potomac River. Quite an engineering project in its day.
I'll work on new pics tomorrow, weather permitting.

Well, since you went ahead and washed the SL63 and also since the 63 is a relative of the SL400 we can forgive the wrong forum post lol. Nice job and congrats on the new addition...
