Default My new ride, Aston inside

Finally acquired my dream car, a 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, 4.7L, 420 hp with a 1-year factory-backed warranty! I wanted to extend to 2 years but Aston Martin wanted another $3500. I told them I'd revisit the topic next year when it's due for renewal.

In previous threads, I was back and forth between C6 Z06, NSX, and GT-R, but at the end of the day, I can find a vette at any dealership, the NSX (although gorgeous) is looking dated, and I wanted more than just a Nissan (I know the GT-R is the best performer).

LS600hL will have to wait... I took out the passenger seat in my Prelude to have easier access to the car seat in the back lol.

And because i get a lot of offers, the supra is not for sale !

-Vince

How many miles on the car and did you get the 6-Speed manual or the sequential set-up?

That is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations! One of the things that I used to love about working at the Bank One Center downtown years ago, was hearing the AM's(there were 5 at the time) coming and going through the tunnel leading to the underground parking.
