Christmas present to myself
It's been a surprisingly good Christmas this year despite still being in Afghanistan... I got approved to go to the reserves from the Marine Corps in April... I got into Columbia for Grad School.. and I bought myself an Aston Martin! I finally pulled the trigger and after lots of research and consultation (thanks everybody here for your inputs), I bought myself a 2012 Vantage S in AM Racing Green. Has 10k miles on it, PPI was done and it checked out. My dad took delivery of it today for me and it's immaculate. I'll get more pics- it was overcast in Charleston today so these aren't the best.

Love that color combo. Congrats!

And congrats on acceptance to grad school! It was the second best decision I ever made.

That's a beautiful car. Congratulations on the car and getting into grad school. You're following a path similar to myself: 13 years in the British army (5 airborne brigade) then went to college and joined the Dianna Ross club (three degrees; undergrad to PhD.). You even have the same car and year as me (although I'm envious of your color). Good luck with the future mate, and thanks for your service.

I truly wish I could snap my fingers and change the color of my V12S to your combo - perfect!
