I don't think any paint on that car is original!
Yea, a friend’s Tundra with the extended capacity fuel tank can make the trip between the Bay Area and Tahoe on a tank of gas. I can get my parent’s RXh to Monterey/Santa Cruz and back on 2/3rds of a tank but Tahoe trips require a refuel between Sacramento and the Bay Area. I don’t like running things bone dry but see the 1/4 full or two ticks as my refuel mark. I think Toyota tanks are small by default.Many Toyotas have “just enough” gas tanks, and my GX also gets about 10mpg towing 7k. That hood issue seems unlike Lexus of old. I hope that trend doesn’t persist.
I would try adjusting these rubber stoppers on the hood. They probably need to be screwed out a little bit more.

It flutters in the middle of the hood.
Whoa, we’ll watch for that. It’s garaged at her house and at work. Though it sat in the sun in front of my house for the whole month of August. No defects yet.Tell your Aunt to keep an eye out for this melting issue:

Apparently there have been a few reports of this on the new LC 250 too.
