Logistically, any $300k car isn't going to disappoint though... Nothing wrong with treating yourself. Some people do it with $300k cars, others with $30 dinners- same thing, different scale.


I too vouch for added photos, welcome to the group!

A bit of a delay in the Xpel install, installer needs to come back to redo some pieces, will head out to sign paperwork and take some pics but likely won't pick up until Thursday and yes the wait is LONG!

Well happy to report delivery is complete! First a big shout out to Norbert of Aston Martin Chicago, a true professional in every respect. Driving impressions are limited as I literally drove 25 miles in bumper to bumper traffic and dropped off to have my front spoiler protected with a very cool product from Scrape Armor. I'm back traveling tomorrow to Colorado and then LA, not back for a week but once I return I will make sure I get some quality seat time and report on my impressions !

Stunner of a car. Congrats... please do chime in with driving impressions when you get more wheel time- curious to hear your comparison vs what are likely a good assortment of other upper-end vehicles.
