On driving in NYC....

The problem that you will have is where to park your car. The garages in NY are notorious for ruining pristine paint jobs. Bottom line, unless you can get a home that comes with its own garage, which is extremely rare, you are better off not having a high value car in Manhatten. (Just my 2 cents)

Thanks for the insight! Looks like I will keep it in LA for the sunny weekend visits

I agree it's not a great idea to drive your aston in NYC on a regular basis. It's not the easiest car to maneuver in tight spaces. You would be constantly looking out for other cars and pot holes that could damage your car that it takes all the joy out of driving.
