New owner :) can't stop smiling
 
Hey folks. I traded in my 996 turbo a couple of weeks ago for this 05 DB9. So far I'm loving it. It is my daily driver (don't like letting my cars sit) and I'm madly in love with it :) ... One thing I want to do is to change out the wheels later on. Not a big fan of the stock wheels. Anyhow looking forward to learning more about Astons. Here are some pics.

Beautiful! Be careful with your next wheel choice, though. It can go from sexy to sloppy very easily. Enjoy.

Yep. I got to be careful. I'm thinking along the lines of DBS wheels or nice mesh wheels. I've seen a lot of ghetto'ed out DB9's online with nasty looking wheels. :)

Welcome aboard. There are a few owners on the board who are talented photogs, always nice to see another one.

Car looks great! Welcome...

I really like the look of the OEM sport pack wheels (same double-spoked 5 stars as the sport pack V8V), and they are forged and fairly light weight as well!

Thanks a lot for the warm welcomes folks. :) Are there any other Aston forums besides this one and pistonheads ?

AMOC has a good forum, and I like the club. Congrats on the car -- they're wonderful.

Very nice! Congrats :) db9 is a great choice!

Very nice!! I have an 05 DB9 as my daily driver also.

What color is the interior?

hph Aug 4, 2012 09:47 PM

Benjamin09 - The interior is black. I already put 800+ miles over the past two weeks :) and planning to put a lot more.

Thanks again guys.

sunir Aug 5, 2012 12:49 AM

Take some pics of the interior? Is it automatic or 6 speed manual ? What are the other options? Sport pack? Oh and one more piece of advice, take off the license plate frame :) awesome car share more details we want a piece of your enthusiasm and happiness! I'm a little partial to DB9 lol ... Nice choice!
