Saying Goodbye

The Aston Vantage was my first car, and it was difficult to part ways.
It has a very understated elegance to it, from the moment I got in, it felt like a bespoke suit and every engine start left a visceral reaction.

Recently I began fantasizing about other cars and set my goal for a Ferrari F430 in 2 years. However, I landed at the right one for the right price and decided to pull the trigger.

I am still saddened when I hear the soundtrack of an Aston as it drives by, perhaps Ill be back one day with the V12.

Sorry to see the Aston go but congrats on the Ferrari! I have a soft spot for those, too, and I've almost pulled the trigger on one myself.

Beautiful color scheme. So tired of seeing red Ferraris at car shows. Like the yellow calipers too. Congrats. Looks awesome.

Well if you have to give up the Aston that Ferrari is a pretty nice replacement. Good luck with the car.

And thanks for the advice you gave me back when I was shopping for my Aston.
Cheers!

Congrats on the car! We talked about it a few months ago and it seems you pulled the trigger much faster than planned
