...promise we’ll get the James Bond stuff out of the way early on and we never hear about it again (except in the comments section of every article, video, and tweet).

Unlimited Mileage Warranty! Cheap Gas!! Aston Martin!!! You better be planning at least one epic road trip.

I don’t mean to be that person. But I honestly cannot believe the price he paid for that car. I love the styling of those Vantages and had no idea you could get one with full warranty for that kind of price.

I am genuinely interested in how his ownership experience goes. I’ve often considered them, being as cheap as that.

I totally didn’t make a “DeMuro. DOUG, DeMuro.” joke on the FP.

If it’s going to be stored in NJ like the last car, that odometer’s not going to get much of a workout. The warranty seems pretty excessive for something that’s going to see maybe one oil change under his ownership.

My reaction to every Oppo post about Doug buying a V8 Vantage that failed to mention the part about the warranty, because I hadn’t gotten around to seeing the original post that mentions the warranty in its headline:

Well that’s fucking lame, another now-cheap entry level exotic car. Doug is the whitest white person I have ever read about or watched on youtbe. He listens to Jimmy Eat World and doesn’t eat at restaurants that don’t have valet parking. Screw that guy!

My reaction once I saw the part about the warranty:

Ok, now we’re talking.

Funny thing that’s one car I recommended via star in the last Pool.

But I still think there were more interesting options, like the morgan 3, viper, model T, that even Thesmokingtire when off-roading with!

I find this funny as a Buddy of mine daily drivers a V12 Vantage in Matte Black. He loves it and its more reliable than his E60 BMW M5. He is aiming for 200k. Heck his last entry on the one forum it had a McDs large tea in the cup holder and the car needed a bath as it sits outside every night.

I promise you won’t get much/any Bond stuff from me!

Wait, I only eat at restaurants that don’t have valet parking. It’s like my #1 rule, after #1. Jimmy Eat World is the best thing that ever happened to radio.

It’s kind of combining the two most interesting things about his former Ferrari and Range Rover: exotic, and unreliable with warranty.

Clearly, I messed up my recollection of your valet parking preferences!

Also, it’s my own fault for reacting before reading your post introducing the Vantage, or even seeing the headline. People kept posting here, “Doug got a Vantage” and not mentioning the warranty bit.

So because I find Astons, in and of themselves, slightly boring, I was like, “wait that’s it???” But I totally endorse the I bought a notoriously unreliable used entry-level British exotic car with an unlimited mileage warranty angle. It’s a great riff on the the CarMax Range Rover.

And I only call people Whitey McWhitersons out of affection, because I’m a nerdy Jew with overdeveloped biceps and too many pairs of sneakers.
