I saw one of these beauties (parked not on the road) on a road trip to "little" Washington, Virginia. Beautiful car, hand-built, HUGE price tag. It's nice to dream though.

...About a year ago or so, I saw a dark charcoal one in Wixom, MI with Manufacturer plates on it. No doubt a Ford validation car, or something. Man, it sure looks sweet, but you really ought to hear it run. Even putting through city traffic, that Aston makes such a rich, mellow sound. It was on that sunny day, that I decided that particular car would make it on to my list of cars that I will own if I ever win the Mega Millions lottery. An Aston Martin is still a very special car.

 

a couple weeks ago I saw one of these beauties. The weird thing is the guy parked it in a full parking lot next to an SUV! Taking his life is in hands there, lol.

 

my local dealer has two V12 vanquish's sitting outside on the back lot...along with a new DB9 (its sooo low and wide).

 

the same dealer also had the new 4 door bentley aka..."continental flying spur" being delivered out of a semi (manufacture tags). it looked nice in person.



sample of other goodies at same dealer (prior posting of mine)...

 

Ooohhh what I wouldn't do for the Vanquish or that Bentley...

 

damn where do you live? I would spend my nights and days at that dealer, lol.

 

get ready for the cheesy comments to fly...

 

in the suburbs of columbus, ohio.

 

It's a chance I'm willing to take, to speak the truth! It's ok, I can handle it!

 

I live in CT and work in Greenwich CT and I see at least one vanquish every day. In Greenwich Bentleys, Aston Martins, Ferraris, and Porsches are like Volkswagens.

At the Olive Branch deli in downtown Greenwich where I park my Xfire there are always a couple of Bentleys and Ferraris in the lot. Yesterday I saw a Carrera GT in the same lot. Right across the street is the Bentley dealer and a couple of blocks down is Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, Aston Martin, Maserati.

Greenwich is like a never never land for people that like expensive cars.

 

Any Aston Martin is just a dream. Last week I was passed by a DB9 ... oh boy!

A Swiss engineering company made of a Vantage this fastest station wagon. Aston Martin V8 Vantage Shooting Break. 612HP, 820Nm (605 fl-lbs), 320km/h (200mph).

 

Wow...you couldn't pay me enough to drive that thing!

 

This baby is a unique job-work. The CEO of a major swiss bank let have it done. Costs around $600k. He needed a station wagon because of his dog. Then after a while he donated this beauty to a popular car and traffic museum.

Why not me ?!
