Default OT -(UPDATED) Funny Story About Aston Martin Guys in my building

There are a few (5) Aston Martin folks in my building - they all park on the same floor in the garage, all next to each other.

A while back, there were a few different models in the pecking order - DB7, DB8, DB8 Vantage (or maybe it was a DB7 Vantage) - anyway, one guy goes and upgrades to a new DB9. Then about a week later, a second DB9 shows up. Then another, and recently the 4th DB9 arrived.

So now there is just one hold out - the DB7 guy. I know he's just plotting to get the new DB when it comes out and have bragging rights, lol.

There are 5+ P-cars in the garage as well - including one sweet blue turbo, one or two Caymans, Boxters, and of course, the necessary 911 - but we don't park next to each other

[edit: Aug 2008]
New additions to this story. Adding a new post to page 3.

sounds like this party i went to once where there were a few lamborghinis, carrera gt, and ferraris parked out front. And sure enough, you could tell who owned what because they were all out by the pool wearing their respective hats......

Geesh, what kind of company do you work for?

Reminds me of that Friends episode where Joey pretended to own the Porsche parked in the street and was wearing all of the Porsche gear.

A new Cayman and a 911 Turbo are usually on this floor of the Garage as well. On the bottom floor (where I park) is a nice Boxter-S and 997.

Some pics of the Astons:

Damn, those AMs make the parking places look rather skinny!

Think I'd be paying for a double berth in the garage to keep some space between my car and the opposition.

Are all of those oil spots on the floor from the AMs?

Bunch of freaking James Bond wannabes. Where do you live, and what does everyone do for a living?

proves that no matter how expensive your car, no guarantee you can drive (ie park) it
