I agreed, I don't like those winglets, looks like an add-ons from Pepboys.

Is the best theater ever, they got a full restaurant that serve Sushi and alcohol to your seat during the movie

The only thing missing is the seats needs heating, cooling and massage function.

Thanks for correcting the context around the parking lot BNR (I like any excuse to vent about Wells), sweet theater

Regarding the winglets, they are a cheap option that the buyers spec or not (nothing Lexus forced on anyone)

They looked worse on the early prototype as they were attached from the outside

i wonder if you can get lfa and the winglets, but not have the winglets installed so you can "decide" later

on another note, that theater tells what kind of money you have to make to afford these cars? hahaa.. damn how much for one ticket

Ticket prices are surprisingly not excessive, average $19.5 each, I have been hitting it every chance I get, the experience is so amazing, worth every pennies Adding on the food and drink one would want though, is another $20~$30. So $50 per person for movie and a meal, it adds up if you bring the whole family.

I have a feeling the ticket prices are low just initially to get people to go in though, I am sure it will rise shortly, every show is pretty much sold out right now because seatings are so limited.

They are opening up a whole bunch of them shortly, the one in Laguna Niguel just opened. I am sure there will be one in your neighborhood shortly. They are doing really well.

Thanks for sharing, but why describe your LS as a Corolla? Are you being sarcastic or is that just how you feel about your car when parked next to an LFA? And yeah that's a sweet theater.

That's how I feel about my 7 years old LS being in that general area that are filled with brand new $100k+ cars.

Next to a LFA, it become an Yaris or Tata Nano?

Most exotic cars that parked in that lot is going to the luxury theater:

looks like the home theater in my house j/k. that is a nice theater though... i didn't know they existed. a lux theater and he doesn't have private parking for that LFA.

You'd be amazed at how much changing a tiny shape like that can affect aero.

No private parking, they do have valet parking at the theater. Parking is a major issue at this mall.
