Finally joined the club

Hi everyone,

A couple months ago, as a belated 25 year old gift to myself, I was fortunate enough to purchase one of my all time dream cars - a 2012 Aston Martin Virage. Traded in my Audi S5 for it. Already put 2000 miles on it and am planning to put many many more 😁

As someone who did the exact same thing (traded an S5 for a Virage), I think I can safely say that you made the right choice! Beautiful car and welcome to the club.

Thanks! It was definitely emotional when the delivery truck arrived and I had to say goodbye to the S5. It was a phenomenal car!

Agreed! I think what I miss most is the manual gearbox...and being able to drive the car year-round. That said, the Virage is a special car in a way that the S5 could never be.

The S5 would be a fading memory real quick if I replaced it with a Virage. Keep putting on the miles, the car just gets better with the more time you spend in it.

Make sure to install the remote valve control for the exhaust!
