I think the colour looks good. I prefer dark blue but this looks great with the painted black roof and painted wheel arches. No fake ruggedness in this RAV4

On this RAV4...The black roof and the painted wheel wheels cladding are black metallic.

If you really want metallic friend..you would have to select magnetic grey metallic or silver sky metallic.

Upside is it is perfect for Walter White if they want to reboot Breaking Bad in 30 years.

Point of fact.....it was the best-selling vehicle on the planet for 2022. That may or may not change in 2023, as we are only halfway through the year.

THAT SAID, they had this sticker:

Hard to decipher, crappy camera but that’s a Weyland-Yutani sticker.

The driver is obviously an Alien and Aliens fan, that’s the name and logo of “The Company” in those films. Every Alien film after the 2nd one was a disgrace, I bet this owner would agree.

Thankfully it's an LS500 so not an 100k car (hopefully) and the Weyland-Yutani sticker is acceptable lol!

Minivan is sure handy. Swung by and brought a freezer, tipped the second row forward and didn’t even have to remove the car seat.

Maybe you should get an older truck as your 3rd vehicle so you can haul things that won't fit in whatever SUV you get.

Nowhere to park it. That freezer would fit in a crossover too, would just need to fold the seat.

Vans are supremely useful and that's a great example of why. What fridge did you buy?

I have a central vac in my house and I used to think they were so 80’s old school. Then when I used them I realized how good the suction power was and I actually like it and they last forever. Problem is ours is at the back of the garage and I have to pull a car in to vacuum it or get an extra long hose which I don’t want to do. Your solution looks great.

i'm sure you love your new home but seems like you really needed a 3 or more car garage.

just wait until your kids drive too.

i've contemplated converting my current 3 car garage into a giant rec room and adding a bigger garage.
