and genius marketing.

was looking for Aston's for a client. pre owned db9's run about $70k. they sound sexy as hell, but I'd still rather pick up a pre owned 911 turbo or 911 carerra 4s for 1/2 the price.

we have similar tastes in luxury items for most part.

but I have to disagree!

the only Porsche I would currently own is a panamera.

douchey cars, I did race 911 turbo once in my old gto. I hate to say it but my 30k car but the fucking jammy to it reaaaal quick. Almost no contest.

the shriner in the 911 didnt recover

I did all my racing when I was younger on both the street and track (SCCA) so I don't care much about going fast, but the 911 has a 'look/prestige' to it still, plus it handles great and feels solid on the street... plus the maintenance is freakin great. I used to hate porsches as road cars when I was younger (porsches are what I raced), but they've grown on me over the years.

I'd say until my income is near a million a year I'd say the ideal garage is an 09 S550, 09 Escalade, 01/02 911 Turbo... over a mil, the S550 get's swapped for an S65 and the 911 get's swapped for an Aston Vanquish or Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (got kids, so I need a backseat, even if it's small)

I think the correct answer to this conundrum is : who gives a fuck! Great legs. Its so attractive when a woman "has it" with out having to work for it.

have you seen the big things jaguar has been up to?

holy shit!

they have stepped their game up immensely.

I would trade that benz for the new xfr-s. Jesus

[old-school-lifter]

this is a copy of an ad that BMW used a few years back

but BMW's was less risque

surprise BMW isnt suing AM

[gmflex]

For me .. dream would be buying a ferrari....
of course a used 1 ..also  maybe a lambo....
The repairs are just super expensive ..
They weren't meant as daily drivers due to the wear & tear..
2009 C6 corvette is affordable .. buying tires for about $2,100.00
oil change about $150.00
brakes with new calipers.. about $600.00 to $800.00

This Aston Martin ad was fake (and AM got really pissed about it). BMW's was real though.

Yes! I used to think jaguars looked like a more expensive Buick. Hated them. Now they have a new one that is sexy as helllll....looks like a Tesla. Dont remember the name of it, though

[visualizeperfection]

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but those are easily changed.

yea, couple of my clients have new jag's. they're not bad looking, but in the back of my mind I'm still thinking it's the 'british car that tries to look like an aston' or something.. I could never bring myself to buy one. it's hard for me to consider buying a british car... give me a $1m/year income and I'd still have to be convinced... Aston's are sexy, but I think I'd still pick up the 612 Ferrari (neither being great with yearly maintenance expense).

I've never driven an Aston though, so until I get behind the wheel it's a tough call. I love the Ferrari's though, especially with aftermarket exhausts  Tubi or the "valve" exhausts just freakin howl.

my point was 911's were more affordable. can easily be had for the cost of a vette and they have more 'prestige' or however you describe it ('pussy magnet/panty dropper' effect or something)... most ppl will see a 911 and think 'wow... a Porsche, that guy must have some money' and not realize you can get them for $35-40k... and cost of maintaining them isn't far from a vette, if not cheaper.

Lol the new jags are a tremendous step down from the old x-types, etc.

Taste of peace

Imma scoot around on one of these

Yeah, maybe if you wanna ball hard at the retirement home and drive something that looks like a Buick

x type is a piece of shit.

lol @ step down.

good job buying a ford Taurus with a Jaguar badge and an extra $15k on the sticker and an engine/tranny that failed in 50k miles in 90% of the cars

[insanity_bb]

I don't see why anyone would ever consider a Jag. There is a far superior car in every class it competes in.

Even the F Type. Completely outclassed in every way by the significantly cheaper Corvette C7 Z51. Hell, the new Z06 next year will barely be more expensive than a full loaded F type probably and absolutely DEMOLISH it.


An Aston though. God, nothing is classier than a DB9

growing up my mom had a 98 xj8 or something like that. Terrible piece of shit. Decent looking enough for the time, but huge piece of shit mechanically.

if you drown, smother or mutilate all of her previous lovers, then technically, you are still her first.

I think that's how it works?
