Aston

Prob wrong place, but...
So took my wife out to dinner. After dinner went to wait for Uber. Outside was a 458 and DB11

I never understood Aston's. But as of today I know. I could not stop looking at it. It made the 458 seem secondary.

Wow.

I really like my DB11. I, however, miss my 458 that I let go after my wife got me the DB11. I love the looks and leather work, but the the 458 is so special to drive. Forget lap times, the 458 has the right sound, the right feel and the right seating position.

50th birthday present. She is also a finance manager for Rolls Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin so she gets a heavy discount.

Obviously different cars have their own strengths - which is why we always want more than one. For me the DB11 isn't intended to be a sports car, but instead is a beautiful GT car with a great engine, great sound and a wonderful interior.
