Anita wow, that really looks like a mirror and reflection. Those Pirellis look awesome!

Thanks corrado. I couldn't believe it when I walked out to the RXh. The cutout in the wall was perfect. Even funnier, originally I was on the other side but switched. And what are the chances another tungsten pearl RX would not only park behind me but back into the space like I did? I hope they got a laugh too.

Thanks Anita, that is an amazing optical illusion!

Sorry, I'm distracted. Please tell me you didn't park there, corrado. And you know about half the '13+ owners by me don't even use their LED DRLs. I thought that was part of the appeal. How about a night shot?

That does look like a cozy spot.

I don't get why so many people decline to use the daylight running lights. I think they are a nice look, certainly more modern in appearance than the previous DRLs. It was certainly part of the appeal for my purchase. So ... Anybody care to explain?

Ward6096 and Anita, No, no, I didn't park there but in another spot behind me with plenty of room. Was just driving towards the building and saw the reflection and snap!

Hmm... didn't know you could turn off the LED DRLs on the US models? In Canada DRLs are mandatory so there's no switch to disable them even if I wanted to which of course I'd have to be nuts to do so. LOVE the "L-swoosh" LED

I'll keep it in mind for a night-time reflection shot but I fear the quality will be poor from my phone cam.

^ Anything just a careless door swing away is too close. I'd sooner leave and come back when the parking lot is empty.

Glad to hear you didn't park there, corrado. Whew! DRLs can be turned on and off here. They're not mandatory. I recall some members paying a few hundred dollars to make their RXs compliant with the rules up your way. I think it's just common sense to keep them on. And yes, they look cool

just saying you'd be hard pressed to find anything wider in the city.

The DRLs remain on when in auto or when the headlights are in the on position. The setting to turn off the headlights (that is not auto) is also a DRL off setting

Weirdly enough, this stalk from a subaru looks remarkably like the one in the RX



Except ours has the DRL off on it, like this from the Toyota venza

Thanks RXSF. First time I see "DRL OFF" on the stalk in all these years owning Lexus/Toyota products.

That looks like a Legacy. Subaru and Toyota do have a partnership, full offspring of late is the BRZ/FRS.

Your RX has a serious obsession with those store windows, LOL! Still waiting for a night shot.
