I love Hydro Blue, although it doesn't really work with the Blue Agave interior, IMHO. I'd prefer something with more contrast.

Walking out to my car at a local car show, I find three young teens taking pictures of my CLS. "Why isn't it in the show???" Explain my AMG wheels are in repair. Apparently it's their dream car. Let them sit in it and take pictures. The kids might be alright.

Big victory against the administration’s unlawful attacks on our national solar program, which saves Americans money on skyrocketing electricity bills. We passed this program to help families get low-cost clean energy—EPA can't just kill it on Trump's whim.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin argued Congress had required the grants be terminated, but the judge ruled he misread the law.
