“This research suggests that conspicuous products, such as Porsches, can serve the same function for some men that large and brilliant feathers serve for pea****s,”

I chose the AM because of a childhood lust, it's price point and quite frankly because I can have a manual tranny in the AM but not in the Ferrari. I like having 'the man pedal.'

I think the person who wrote the article has a case of rectal cranial inversion. I bought a Porsche because its more fun to drive on twisty country roads than my Prius commute car. Besides, around here (San Francisco) Porsches are about as common as Honda Civics.

So you're about to make the move to 4 more cylinders? I guess that engagement ring will have to wait a few more months. haha
That's great. We can use another V12 on the forum.

I've been married 32 years so this article is not too relevant to my everyday living. I think the flashiness of exotic sports cars is one of the least desirable things about owning one. I have a subtle color, so unless you are a car person, it doesn't attract too much attention. I always love to chat to anyone who shows interest but I don't go looking for it, at all.

I agree, Aston's have class rather than flash, and the V12 Vantage may cost $$$$$$ but from a distance (and to most non Aston fans) it looks like a standard V8, making it the perfect A.M. Q car for the hardcore driving enthusiast, just wish I had one !
