Mind if we ask how much Horseless Carriage charged you. "Where to Where" was it going again. Just trying to gauge what other guys are charging.

Nice!!! Got to love the pano option.

Do you know what the difference is between Iridium Silver and Brilliant Silver?

They sure do look identical. Are they the same color/ different names?

In person Iridium has a bit of blue-tint to it, it's more along the lines of Polar Silver from Porsche, but still not far off of Brilliant Silver, so it is more than a name change, but the average person probably wouldn't notice the difference.
