badjuju Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Man, I was driving to cheer practice (yes, cheer practice) in Kent, Wa, and saw one coming up in the next lane... I felt honored that the driver even looked at me, such a nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I saw one a while back and I had to go back to make sure I wasn't hallucenating. It was beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 For a while I thought that was the most beautiful car ever. Then as time passes, it becomes more and more dated. While the exterior is timeless, its the interior that got to me. Its so cheap looking and cheesy. Compare it to a new DB9, Vanquish, etc. Its not "horrible" but I've heard it uses parts bin materials from much lesser offerings. VS DB9 Still............. It is a beautiful car. Who knew a couple of Taurus engines would be good for something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWRex Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 That's the thing about Z's.Chances are,the owner of some of those cars are probably thinking the same thing when they see a nice one...Gotta respect them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Yea, the db7 is beautiful. Astons in general are among the best looking and understated cars. I also loved the old jag xk coupe, as it had similar lines and, if im not mistaken, was built on the same platform as the db7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmorgan79 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Nice ride, I know how you feel. I just saw the V8 Vantage the other day. Somehow it looks better to me than the 360s and 430s running around here... http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-2006-Aston-Martin-V8-Vantage.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 My wife and I were went to Farrari of Los Gatos yesterday and low and behold, they opened an Aston Martin dealership across the street. NICE cars! I still liked the Lotus Exige they had despite all the Ferraris, Astons, and Lamborghini's available. The little Lotus has a smug pizzaz that the others do not: it says, "DRIVE ME!" Wish I had the dollar! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBjt Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ya i live in saratoga, the next town over from Los Gatos and well me and my buddies goto that those dealerships all the time and the guys that work there dont mind us looking at the cars and asking questions. The highlight of that dealership though is that they had a Mclaren F1 and a Bugatti Veyron for awhile, didnt see the bugatti but i did see the Mclaren and damn was that sexy.

DavyZ Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 They still have a Saleen S7 and the McLaren F1 in the rear showroom. The Saleen looks as big as my Suburban and the McLaren is so mild looking it is nearly unimpressive. I think I've gotten too jaded over the years that very few cars impress me visually. Like I said before, the Lotus Exige is the coolest car they have there. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBjt Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Ya the Exige is damn sexy, but its so sad since i know a few kids who went to my high school who were thinking about seriously buying a lotus as their first car because their parents would buy them any car they wanted. What a waste of a lotus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
