Personally, I'd go with an M5 and a 911. Little compromise with the M5 in terms of performance, but you get so much more in terms of comfort; the 911 handles everything else.

The value proposition on something like an Aston Martin just isn't that high, imo.

get it totally. if only so your e-penis can be 268,975 pixels longer.

but seriously, why do dealers still use the $xx,995 trick when the price goes into 6 figures?
it's dumb enough on 5 but 10x worse with 6.

I saw a DB9 a few days ago...I tried racing it (I drive a red honda civic) but was unable to keep up.

Actually I'd buy an AMV8 as a daily driver. porsche and bmws are too common. :)

I saw an older Vanquish on Top Gear once. I personally thought it looked like a GT500. If I could choose any, it would probably be that.

I see a 28 year old with a high school diploma. How are you going to pay for this, exactly?

That would have been a Vantage, not a Vanquish.

Thanks. New it was Van something.

I would get that then.
