It’s a 2023 Lexus IS350 F-Sport, and it replaces her 2003 Corolla with 209K. The Corolla will now serve as my gas-saving commuter. I appreciate that this car is NA, RWD, and has port and direct injection. I also love that it still has a CD player.

Atomic Silver?
Ha ha. Same thing here. 210k ‘03 Corolla now sharing commuting time with new vehicle. Always respected the Corolla and sure the new Lexus will serve you well.
Let us know what you replace this with in 2043.
That's the 5th time that I've heard that today. LOL.
I upgraded my 2003 Corolla to a 2015 Camry but although the Camry is more powerful and faster and has more cachet and features, there was something about that Corolla that really felt nice.
I wish! I have a 2-car carport, where one bay is filled by my ‘63 Cadillac. My ‘74 Bonneville resides in the other, but I’ll be selling it soon. So, then my wife can park there if she wants. Eventually, I do want to build a 4+ car garage.
Yes. My wife had her heart set on (Caviar) black, but they only had white, iridium silver (+$500), or atomic silver. Atomic silver is a better choice for the Texas heat and not looking dirty so quickly. It has the red/black interior.

Does the exhaust block the transmission fill port ?

Our 300 is atomic silver …
Here’s a 2018 picture I have… it has the correct 2003-4 matching wheel covers now. Clearcoat is now wearing through on the roof.Any chance to get some photos of the 209k corolla?
That’s no ordinary vehicle that’s a grounded fighter jet. Looks like a machine of precision what a beautiful auto. Many years of joy and excitement.
