I see those all the time... Ford still gets to do some testing and calibrations for Aston at the Dearborn Proving Grounds. Those things sound mean. I'm more amazed at the price of gas out there... It's much nicer here in the Motor City (just under $2 for premium).

I saw an Aston Martin (not sure exactly which model) parked on the street in my downtown, and as I walked by I thought to myself, "nice Jaguar!" :lol: I had to take a closer look at the emblems to figure out it was actually an Aston Martin! So, my lingering thought was that's a lot of dough to spend on a car that looks like a far less expensive car. :) MJ

I am so glad to meet another Aston Martin admirer I have always wanted one. I can't quite afford a new Vanguish like the one in your photo they have a $250k price tag. the new DB9 is very impressive also. I have been looking at the 1997- 2001 DB7's wich are very nice cars also and priced in the $50-60K range. OH YEAH I almost forgot I own an ASTON MARTIN -- Here are a few shots of it in my shop one on the Corvette and one on the shelf :lol: :lol:

There aren't too many cars I'd trade the Vette for, but a Vaquish.... I could be tempted....assuming a had a quarter million to spend on a car.

I saw my first one at Laguna Seca two years ago. It even smelled nice!
