yeah that's definitely a nice picture. Looks like something we might have seen in 1999 Acura CL brochure.

Lots of similarities........both are beautiful old cities (at least the French Quarter in NO)............these row homes were built in the late 1700's to early 1800's.......
Lots of Historic Old Structures in Savannah....

LOL !! That's why I took the picture as soon as I left the dealership!! I KNEW it would never look that good again. There is a guy named Ron at the local dealership that is a legend when it comes to making old cars look good again. He made this 1999 look like a showroom model again!

The bumper lights are up to you, but I personally like the look of the ambers on black cars. Others like the clear lenses.

.......like any other city, we have our good neighborhoods and we have some neighborhoods that could use a good cleaning up! Overall, it's a great "little" city.
