Fave’s: Aston Martin DBS

In Uncategorized on February 5, 2009 at 16:15

I like cars, in fact driving is one of my favorite pastimes – that is as long as I’m driving something nice or at least fast. I tend to lean towards sports coupes of a foreign maker and although I do stare at Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s with a degree of lust just like the next man, they for several reasons aren’t really me. There’s no denying that they both make some of the best sports and super cars one the planet. That they’re bathed in racing heritage, history and prestige and that they are the biggest rivals – striving to one up the other with each new offering. Deapite their greatness, their legacies and engineering, there are things I dislike about them both. Ferrari’s for me are just a bit too sexy, and far too popular and as much as I like the majority of their enteriors I hate their steering wheels and F1 controls which look like, well, controls from a bare bones F1 stock car. As far as Lamborghini’s go I’m a huge fan of the Murcealargo although it’s not a car you can drive everyday. In fact they’re all a bit much – vehicles that you take out everyonece in a while. I mean besides the general impracticality of it, who wants to drive a car that looks like a F22 fighter jet on wheels everyday? And then there’s the enterior, frankly it’s ugly, quite unrefined and thrown together looking for a car of this class. I desire something with a bit more elegance, something you could drive everyday if you so desired without being “that douchebag who drive’s the obnoxious Lambo or Ferrari everyday”. And that’s why, for those reasons and others the Aston Martin DBS is my favorite car.

Just look at it – the beautiful understated but still apartent sexiness. The softly sculpted lines that speak of athleticism and performance while giving it a muscular stance. The elegance and class, the taste and refinement, the level of craftsmanship inside and out. I even love the key which is cut from saphire as not to scratch. And then of course it moves with the speed and agility you’d expect from Aston’s flagship vehicle that replaced re legenday Vanquish. Just check out the video below I’d you need further convincing of it’s prowess.
