Definitely stolen/carjacked. Scumbags. Was thinking of flying to Miami to drive my 2026 back to TX if the deal goes through. Less interested in being in Miami again now. Went in January to try to finalize the sale but the car didnt arrive from port as expected, and MAN was that city filthy. One of the dirtiest cities I've ever been in.

Speechless. Miracle of elusive driving that somehow spared injury/death/massive property damage. Miracle.

OK, this is amateur production value and from someone’s YT account with minimal traffic but the way these guys reacted to their first interaction with a 2018 LC over eight years ago just kept me smiling.

Seems an almost constant by LC reviewers, whether boosters or rock throwers, has been the inevitable smile and often involuntary wow-laughter they experience. LC discovery by others does give smile.

I'll never get big wing culture. At any sane speed not on a race track, the wing just adds weight and drag and gives no performance increase whatsoever. If it's a style/looks thing, it just doesnt make sense to me on a car like the LC.

I'm hoping to spend some serious time making a tribute video to the LC once I have mine, digging deep into its history, going over every tiny detail, etc. I'm not a cartuber so it will probably be amateur hour lol.

Spot on!
An individual can do whatever they like with their car and money. I’ll say that in my observations, very few modifications improve upon the original aesthetics of the LC 500. When it comes to this particular car, my feeling is leave very well enough alone.

My sentiments 100%. There are precious few sport coupes on the road that perfectly capture the long, low profile, pronounced stance, sculpted rear haunches, and overal aesthetic appeal of a properly done front-engine, real wheel drive sport GT coupe.

Even fewer still have distilled it into a piece of automotive art like the LC.

Adding a ridiculous aftermarket wing to it is like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. To be fair I think the Mona Lisa is an ugly painting personally, which is why "to each his/her own" is always at the forefront of my reaction.

The labor of love that went into the LC by everyone involved is something I hate to see adulterated personally. But so long as the owner loves it and/or its next home/owner also loves it years-hence, who am I to judge.

The designers never offered a hard wing except limited edition model LC's jerked around, but bowing to some owners did design the stowaway appear-disappear wing.. Someone with harmony in mind got it both ways. Edit: something to break with no added value IMO

I enjoyed this guy's premise, "The LC500 Is A Better Aston Martin."

Interesting title for this video. I actually drove several Aston Martins (new and used) before I decided on the LC. (My 'boss' of ~ 47 yrs. said +$300K for a car was a bit 'over the top'). I did, however, order my new LC conv't in the exact color combo I loved so much on the AM (cloudburst gray, toasted caramel, black soft top).
