I still think the DB5 is cooler, just not very liveable

i saw an earlier aston martin last summer at my work, i think it was a DB5 to be honest with you. guy said it had no ***** when i talked to him. lol. guess he's really rich or something. exact quote:

me: wow thats a really nice car i like that early aston martin

my manager: damn for a second i thought that was your car when you said go look outside but i know you cant afford anything that fast

owner: what that aston martin out there? it looks amazing but really is more show no go. not very fast honestly


haha, he was a young guy to, looked to be in his late 20's makes me wonder what else he drives if he could tare down on his own 100k car like that.

There is no DB8; that's a DB7.

Both of those Z's also made Jeremy Clarkson's 100 Favorite Cars of all time list. The Z32 was near the bottom in the 90's, and the S30 was up near the 30's if I recall correctly.

you really can't mistake the 7 for an 8

one looks more like the previous model chrysler 300m and the other looks more like a large Mercedes SLR. You could mistake it for a 9 though, they are pretty similar, until you get close or drive them.

I meant, there is no such thing as an Aston Martin DB8. They went from the DB7 model/name directly to the DB9 model/name.

I'm a pretty big Aston fan (that, and I have every single ep. of Top Gear), so that's why I know there was never a DB8. Supposedly they skipped a # because the DB9 was such a huge improvement over the DB7, and because they didn't want people to think that "DB8" meant it only had 8 cylinders (it has a V12).
