Saw one just as pictured, a 67' GT500 red with white stripes. I was travelling south on highway 101 in California for a college seeing trip. I have just fallen more in love. Not to mention everything else I saw including

-dozens of Porsche's(924's, 928's, 911's, Boxster's, Cayman's)

-dozens of Tesla model S's

-couple Mustang GT's

-Corvette's (C6 z06, C4, C3, C7)

-Lotus Espirit

-Shelby Gt500's, and Super Snake's

-Miata's galore

-Ferrari 575, 430 Spyder

-Mazda 3 wagon

-Subaru wagons

This is my second time in California, and I always wonder why I don't live her...

Then I saw the $4.99/Gallon fuel price... I like Texas's $3.12

If not for that California is perfect.. just wow.

Highway 1 is so much scarier in person(Specially in a big heavy pathfinder with your mother screaming at every turn)

I cycle through dream cars, but it's always awesome to see it in real life. At the moment mine is this exact Aston.

I'm from California in Oklahoma for school right now.

I miss seeing S-Classes, LSes everywhere and 911s galore.

I know how you feel living in Texas, the best thing I see are the doctor's m3's that leave the hospital I pass everyday. Everything is just like looking at lumbs of car's everywhere nothing special.

I go down 101 all the time, living in San Jose. There are all sorts of cool cars on that road. And about that Shelby- I think I've seen it before! Also about Shelbys- my neighbor has a '65 Mustang with a Cobra engine, all dressed up to look like a real Shelby. It's sweet!

Absolutely. The Aston is at the top of the list of cars I'm going to buy when I win the lottery.

Jealous of your neighbor

Here, let me change your mind on the red/white thing.

Absolutely. They aren't the quickest or the most exotic, but there is nothing else like one, and there are a dozen Ferraris for each Aston you see. It's not something you buy to be flashy or show off. But it's probably the only car anymore that makes me look twice.

I don't know if changed, but you have my attention. That really is a good combo

It's crazy.

I've yet to see an Escort Cosworth. If I ever get to own one in the future, I shall call it Gary.
