This makes me smile big time inside - DLP You have what we call in the bimmerpost forums a superman combo

I am not a fan of red interiors (at least anymore) despite having a one at home but Lexus's Circuit Red is very soft on the eyes.

p.s so that's how my car looks like clean.

Huge congrats Tony. You know, I think they did tone down the Circuit Red from last year. It used to be bright tomato red, and it was when I saw it in person on a 2021 IS350. Can you share more interior pics? Now I'm extremely curious if they changed the shade or not.

Interesting. His phone pictures look pretty color accurate so idk. Not disagreeing with you, it just really does look more like rioja red than before.

Do your windows soft close, btw?

Thank you so much. I started a thread about it yesterday and I now think its safe to conclude this "feature" was lost on the 2021/2022 models. Really strange. I guess I shouldn't care if nobody else does.

Anyways, lets talk more about Tony's car. This is a huge day for the forum. Now he has to get the CEL. It's a rite of passage.

Maybe he gets it while starting the drive home and gets to stay in OKC for free for the weekend. Was that your plan Tony? Hmm?
