It was the perfect fall day out today - perfect weather, warm, sunny, the leaves were dry and had that crisp autumn smell in the air. Great day to go exploring the small towns in this great state, and grab a few pics of the SVT.

I plan to enter a few in the Calendar post; let me know if you like any (especially if they are in the album but not this post)

Also - CLEAN YOUR SEATS! Mine were not "that" bad. There was some visible dirt on the edges that I wanted to get off, and just decided to do the whole seat instead. Even though the perforated part wasn't really dirty, cleaning everything transformed these seats from looking like 90K mile old to 10K mile! I used Goop and a toothbrush, gently scrubbing then wipe away with terrycloth.

Left - dirty, right - clean (except at bottom)

Photos/scenery/car look great!

My only gripe is about the windows. IMO they don't look good in that position. Its either UP or....well...UP.
 
Nice pics. I love the backgrounds.

I really miss my SVT. Don't get me wrong I love my Saab, but I want my SVT back!!
 
Agreed, it was a great picture before hand. Whats the difference if he picks the trash up by hand or takes it out with photoshop? Its not like he is altering things really.
 
Wow! :shocked: Picture 3 is probably my least favorite of the four, I even debated even putting it in the post. I didn't even see that trash either. I liked Picture 4 best - trying to be a bit artsy, putting the fence/trees in the foreground.

But I digress .. it's still a cool pic and thanks for the props! Thank you Jason especially for the chop!

Dunno how similar the seat dirty/clean looks to you, but it jumps out at me. Now the seats look and feel almost brand new, soft and supple .. the transformation was amazing.

Kim, I have no clue where I went! I took the GPS (so I could get home) and just wandered around back roads. I definitely passed through these towns in this order: Manchester, Bedford, Amherst, Milford, Mont Vernon, Weare, Hillsborough. I was out from noon till dusk just cruising around. Some amazing towns, several of the town squares reminded me of Ohio small towns I loved.

I almost hit a deer in broad daylight too! How much would that have sucked, I just bought the car! It scampered across the road right in front of the car in front of me somewhere around Mont Vernon around 2pm. Wild turkeys everywhere too.
