Nice, we still want to take the LX all out west and through the desert. Don't be surprised if you get a PM from me sometime asking where all the best places to go are.

Moab is #1, but oh we love Las Vegas (maybe as a pit stop for a night or two)...

Great pic @BrettJacks .

I wish it was spread out like that down here in south Fl.

It's turned into metro zoo with all the people moving here.

I sometimes might have a dream where I'm driving somewhere.

​​​​​But, I've never had a dream about my specific car.

Last night I dreamed I sat in my car and started it up and wham!, I saw all these engine warning lights lit up and blinking in different colors and patterns.

These were warning light's I don't have on my car and I didn't recognize the icons on the lights and I knew something was VERY wrong with my car. Lol

Yellow lights, green lights, blue, etc, each with a different icon on them., lots of them!

Then I woke up, and my first thought was what the hell was that! Lol

I’m about to drive a W222 around…

:giggles:

The main thing I want to see is how the throttle feels in a modern FI V8. I’m sure it’s great, Mercedes always did gas pedals the best.

I want to be excited but I have no idea what a W222 is. Lol

Please drop some pics from the test drive and school us. 🤔. 😀

Awesome pics Brett! Car looks great. My sisters live in Henderson. Maybe when I visit them I'll check that place out.

I'm def interested in your opinion of a FI V8 vs the NA 6.2.

Enjoy! Put it in individual mode and set the engine to sport and everything else to comfort. In engine comfort mode it starts off in 2nd gear.

So want your thoughts on something. I normally use a chrome license plate frame, but the Pacifica doesn't have any chrome on it, it has gloss black and like a silver painted trim. I had this license plate frame on it but for some reason it just never seemed right to me:



Replaced it with this black one, which I'm also unsure about. Thoughts?

Tough choice. My vote would be for the black one. To my eye it seems to blend in a little better.
