Let me get through winter slumber first lol. So I went to the dealer and got the window sticker. It has the Sports Suspension option. Interesting. Even more interesting the Q Paint Option for Volcano Red wasn't itemized, like it wasn't charged as an option. The sales person said the only...

I think it's one of the only truly beautiful modern cars around. And yes, everything you touch feels special and bespoke. The only exceptions are the cheap ass stalks lol. My budget was only putting me in '06-08 small motor cars. They were fine. I lucked out with this '14 and borderline...

Short vid from my channel. It made my wife laugh and cry hehe. Also some pictures after a wash.

I can be a very expensive person to know lol.

Yep. The clutch. I think it's a TEENSE overblown like the 996 IMS bearing. I took mine out with the salesman and floored it in 4th-5th-6th from like 40mph with no slip. So I'm good for now. The problem is solved with the twin clutch upgrade which Aston sells as a kit or you have...

I did 700 miles in the rain in it yesterday. It feels like it's a solid hunk of metal. It feels like a proper GT car for crossing continents. Everything you touch is special except the cheap Ford stalks. It's an experience car, it's not a numbers car. There are faster cars out there...

Eh, most of the electrical is fine and found on Volvos. The headlights and tail lights can trap water and get borked and cost $$$.

The garage is a project coming soon. I have plans to make it Aston worthy lol

Ugh, so much rain, fog, NYC traffic. But I'm home and in one piece. The car is very special. Even after two minutes my wife got it too. 20 minutes later it became a grocery getter lol. I did my first 7000rpm+ shift with her in the rain lol. My wife was like damn, this car sounds good. I...

15" shorter. It's still a porker at 3590lbs, but still about 200lbs lighter. Everything is metal, even the grill and side vents, very little plastic in the interior.

I pick it up tomorrow morning. Remember, this purchase wasn't over some kind of failing of the BlackWing. I don't think you can easily buy a better new car. The Aston is far from new. The BlackWing does most things better. The Aston is here for theater, to feel truly special. It's older...

Ha, yeah, thats the one. I'm flying into LaGuardia where my buddy is picking me up. Thanks for the offer though. Please tell me it looked great from a distance lol

Funny enough I just got an 9000 Turbo 5spd. My brother passed away in '05 and his Saab 9000 Turbo wasn't sentimental to me at the time. I spent years hunting it. My wagon is my sleeper. I love it. I just put some rare forged wheels on it..

Thanks! Roadster is still in the garage lol. My friend has mostly agreed to buy it. So I've got it until April and he's not confirming 100% until February. He has been so in love with it he bought one to modify last year over and turn it into mine. At the price I gave him it costs $10k to...

I'm trying to keep this out of the dealership service department. Oil changes, plugs, all that stuff is pretty easy on these. Lots of great DIY YouTube vids out there. It's an NA V8, far better to keep this running than other options.

One of my only rules was no silver/gray over black. If it was silver over tan though, id at least do a BRG wrap lol. This one, when I saw it, I couldn't think of any other one. I broke my $50k cap and my timing of doing this in April, well worth it.

Seriously. I don't miss living there. Between the state inspections and front plates... I swear I am tempted to fly with a screw driver and remove the front plate before I leave the dealership lol.

Remember, I didn't sell the BlackWing FOR this car. I condensed my stable a bit. I was up to 5 for me, 1 for her.

Once they put the Merc V8 it became scary for me to maintain and turned me off. The NA V8 and 6mt are last of their kind in a small'ish two seater.

Flying in and driving it home in 2wks. Great way to get to know the car.
