Most people post their best, cleanest pictures of their cars, but i happen to snap a few pics when I'm on the road. For an aston martin thats doing 30,000 miles this year alone, it almost never stays clean long enough for a good photo. 2011 Rapide Luxe, dark blue inside and out. Purchased 9 months ago with 34,000 miles and she has a hair over 56,000 right now, having seen several track days, many 1/4 mile runs, and definitely gets driven hard with some dirt under her nails. Yes, i drive it in the NY snow. 4 sets of rear tires so far and 2 up front, along with a few DIY services later, and I love every second of it. My other cars are a 2019 Honda Civic which i have added 17,000 miles to this year, as well as a 1941 Dodge Luxury Liner. Rough shape and a work in progress, but even she has done almost 800 miles since i picked it up on the 4th of July this year. Yes, I know I have the 'daily-driver' thing backwards haha, but I feel at almost 50,000 miles a year, I could be arguably the highest mileage driver on here.
Outside an abandoned mental hospital. The wheels begin to get dirty 45 minutes after a wash, and usually turn brown after a day.
The 1941 Dodge D19 Luxury Liner Sedan
Last month I commissioned an art piece from Bespoke Art Visualz, a U.K.-based artist who creates cool illustrations of cars.
My vision was to have my Vantage set against Glen Etive in Scotland, reminiscent of the iconic scene from the James Bond movie Skyfall. Working with the artist was great — I sent him a picture of my Vantage along with a screen grab from the movie and he did his magic. We went back and forth with a couple of revisions but I couldn’t be happier with the final piece!

Could you provide more details on the custom suspension?
It's a custom setup from MCS made for my DB9, its a quadruple-adjustable damper with an adjustment range of 18 clicks of high speed compression, 10 clicks of low speed compression, 18 clicks of high speed rebound, and 10 clicks of low speed rebound adjustment, H&R Springs finish the setup. I'm loving it, its hard to believe but it feels smoother than stock on the soft settings in town and on the highway, on the mid to high settings its stiff but very stable at 1.5gs, the handling is close to my Viper ACR with this setup and the 265 Michelin 4s in the front and 305s in the rear give me plenty of grip.
