And if you can’t get a hold of your mech, just hit up Adam on the forums. His pricing is very reasonable, and start to finish he’ll take about 90 minutes assuming the pipes fit well, he’s extremely good on these motors. And he’s just a good dude, I learned a lot in the few times I’ve had my car at his place. As an added bonus, the roads in his neck of the woods are sweet, a nice change of pace from the urban bullshit I deal with on my daily drive from Bethesda to DC and back.

So I drove by the Aston Martin dealer on my way to work for shits.
I walked up and inspected the V8 Vantages they had on site. All 7 were manuals, the one I want is 80K with 10K miles on it. My vert is paid off and ill need another car after I give back the E...so im saving my pennies. |

Here my thing with Astons. They arent the fastest around a corner, and they arent the quickest in a straight line. But goddamn theres something about them that you just fall in love with.
Also have you heard a refreshed V8 Vantage with an exhaust? |

It was a hell of a lot of fun to drive, don't get me wrong, but I just don't know if I would want one anymore. Maybe having one that I customized to the way I wanted things and something that wasn't a rental might be better. Gear changes felt slow and the car didn't seemed as "refined" as I was hoping for. Granted, my GT-R probably skews my view on some of those things. |

Without a doubt, something that I will seriously be considering for my next car purchase. There are enough of them around here that have almost no miles on them that can be picked up for a reasonable price. Now to figure out which other toy I don't "need" to get one. |

his username is Clem, if you check out the regional section of here/1addcits you'll find plenty of talk about him. I can 100% vouch for the quality of his work and pricing, he can do downpipes in his sleep and they're actually a bit easier on our 1ers because the heat shielding is shaped a bit differently than on the E9xs. He lives out in Howard county, it's roughly 30 miles from where I live in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area. When i was last there he was prepping for a complete E36 suspension overhall, which he tackled in about 11 hours. So downpipes are a walk in the park for him.

The sound of that car was something one must experience first hand, it's just not easy to put in to words. I really did love the car, I just don't know that I would consider one as heavily as I might have before. Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway was fantastic, however, and I would have been able to enjoy that in almost any car. Getting the chance to meet up with a few old friends from college was nice too. I should have just planned the trip better and not gone at the end of the quarter. |

That is the one toy that will probably stay for the foreseeable future. Bikes, other cars and things can go though.
Need a 1959 Alfa romeo Guilietta Spider? It run when it wants to, and the seats need to be redone. |

That sounds like an awesome project! Those things have maintained their price fairly well because most people that have them know what others want them for now.

TGIF. I’m hoping to leave the office a bit early today to meet up with family, I haven’t taken any unscheduled vacation this year and haven’t left the office early either, so I think it’s justified. And like 70% of the office isn’t even in today. I had a dream last night that my car insurance was $900 per month, I just about pissed myself lol.
