Hey there guys.
I've stayed quiet but I can't anymore! I've graduated after completing a dual-degree in Law!
My focus is on International Corporate Contract Law, however I also wrote my thesis on International Environmental Policies and Regulations.
Since I was a young boy, I never asked my parents for anythiing and always worked hard. While in university, I worked to make my websites a success and learned that being a good person leads to good things happening to them (not all the time though).
So I arrived in Doha a few weeks back (now in Bahrain as I come every week or so), and was told that my father and mother put something away for me everytime they asked me if I needed something and I said no thank you.
I was a bit shocked. They were going to buy me an Lexus LS, but I told my father to please keep his money in his pocket and invest it.
He insisted on a GS but I decline, finally we bother agreed on a Panoramic 2008 ES350.
It's a nice car and I got it full option. Bluetooth, nav, 14 speaker mark levinson audio system, aircooled seats etc..., I love it! However, which colour would you go for, I've already ordered it, but I just want to see what people say.
Now I don't want people to say a colour simply by taste, please factor in practicality, scratches, dust, business etc..
The two colours are
Saffire red (looks burgundy)
or Pearl White.

Wow, nice pressie for graduation!  Congrats on the grad as well, good luck in your future career
I'd go for the met red colour, metallic colours look clean for longer in my experience.

The red looks good. Congrats, amnesia! I can't wait for my turn to graduate, I'm finding it real tough in school now.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

@amnesia - I really THOUGHT all along that you were a SON of a Sultan mate 
Congrats ! Yes, I like the color of the Lexus in the pic too !
I'm sure that you will momentarily FORGET about your  fones ONCE you get hold of the Lexus' steering wheel  !

thank you all.
I ended up with Pearl White. It's not really just a standard white, a bit offwhite with a lovely glittery shine to it.
The logic is that it'll look good even if it's scratched or dusty.
I saw a burgundy one today though, then I regretted my choice (can't change my order now).
The burgundy looks sexy and if I took it, I'd be the ONLY one in the WHOLE of Qatar with a Burgundy one and Panoramic roof.
Ah well.
I'm sure you will ALL do well and I hope that you will all get what you want in life .
Work hard, be positive, and it all pays off ^_^
Except with paypal. Screw paypal, don't be positive with them 
edit:
cars in Qatar are amongst the cheapest in the world. Since we don't have taxes, the prices are at least 30% cheaper than the UK
