Just saw the coolest car...
I was at Midwestern Auto Group in Dublin, OH looking at Jetta's. I made good with the salesman and he decided to take me on a tour. I saw many Ferrari's, Porcshe's, Aston Martin's, a Lotus, etc.. He then took me downstairs to show me the new James Bond car, the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. It was about to be shipped to Beverly Hills for somebody. It was the most gorgeous car I have ever seen. Got a look under the hood and there was a bit of carbon fiber including the strut bar, and then that big *** V12. The interior was magnificent. It has a Linn sound system in it (same catagory as Levinson). He started up for me and that is when I soiled myself. It was just a deep droning. Ever since then I have had perma-smile. Sorry for being so long....I just wanted to share my experience. I'm going to start saving for one...it's only $231,000.

Wasn't even allowed to sit in it. I did get to touch the carbon fiber though. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
Edit: It had the paddle shifter in it with a digital display of what gear it was in on the dash.

It was somebody elses car. They probably didn't trust me either. And knowing my luck, one of the rivets on my jeans would rip the leather.

They had a Modena but it wasn't the spyder. They did have a 360 Spyder though. He said those are on back-order for 5 years. The killer is that they will only be making them for about 2 more years. He also said that some people are paying $60,000 over sticker for them.

for that pice i would much rather save it and buy a mclaren f1. unless of course if i had 900,000 dollars.

my guy who use to live in CT said one of the people in his town owned one. said he had a trailer and truck to take it around anywhere he wanted to the car too. so add another 60 grand to my total that would over 960,000 plus tax.


oh ****. what about insurance?


damnit now ive gotta change my boxers. its just so sexy.

Haha, see, 13 of us could get together and buy one... and we could each drive it once every two weeks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]


Mind you the insurance would probably be another 5-or-6 civic's worth [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

with 231,000 i could probly get my D17 into the 13's [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
