Default A British LC500?

So I’ve seen reviews where they say the LC500 is like a Japanese Aston Martin so I thought it was kind of fun driving to work this morning behind a British LC500 for a couple miles. I made sure I passed him so he (she?) could hear my V10

The Conti is a vastly superior machine in every way. It made the Top 5 of vehicles I was going to purchase when I was shopping for my LC.

i just couldn’t justify the cost as the “used” white w/ red leather ‘vert I was looking at was 9 months old with 700 miles for $265k. (Sticker was $305k)

what I learned was that there is no happy middle between $100k-$200k. It’s either the LC….or you need to get into the $200k+ range for a better vehicle.

I couldn’t justify the extra cost, mentally.

Also, Bentleys aren’t “special” where I live. They are quite common as to where you will most likely see at least one any trip out of the house.

I definitely don’t see many LCs…

Just a joke since I had a guy ask me if my car was an “LFA with the V10”

Wow - are you saying the Aston in my pics above cost $305K? I don’t know much about Aston’s other than what I see in James Bond movies It looked awesome but I have no idea what model it is - I didn’t see any badges on it.

I need to stop looking at CL on my iPhone right when I wake up!!! haha....that blurry photo looked like a Bentley Continental to my tired eyes on my tiny screen!

I live near an AM dealer but I didn't cross-shop those this time. Back in 2008 i did test-drive a Vantage but ended up buying a Ferrari instead.

Disregarddddddd my previous sleepy-eyed posts above!!


Perhaps I should just go back to bed.....lololol
