yea the driveway looks really good. I like the pic with the house and fountain in back, it looks like they would use that as a adverstisement for the car. pure pimp.

2006 SL 500
Congratulations
I'm very happy for you - it's a beautiful car and you've been waiting a long time for it. I got my SL500 today too so I'm pretty happy also. Enjoy!

Nice car Lovin'. 
I saw a new DB9 at my car wash/detail center yesterday - also a beautiful car. It was dark blue with tan interior. Had personalized plates on it "DB NINE". Very sweet car!
BTW, how did you manage to get license plates on it already? Did they let you order them ahead of time?

Don't kill me on this one. The mats are dirty.
Thought you would like to see the headliner and some other interior features. The Bluetooth and voice activation really work great.
Thanks.

Amazing car!
I see you've now completed your driveway ...er, received your car. I'm very happy for you. The AMVS is such an amazing car ... immense presence when you see it in the flesh. It must be even more amazing to drive.
It's time to plan some nice trips and gather up fond memories for the future! Fall is a great time and fitting for a British hand-made car. Congratulations, I'm sure you've earned it!

Did I see a loose piece of interior trim? ......... JUST KIDDING! The Aston looks incredible. The word "gorgeous" doesn't aptly define the beauty. Mazel Tov !

2005 SL 500
Last week I was driving through central PA, Route 81 North in my beater. I am going back with my SL in a few weeks. Nothing but tree lines and mountain/hill side. In a few weeks the leaves will be changing. Is what made me really say "whoa" was that there was one stretch of about 20-30 miles that was completely down hill. It flattened out from time to time but then another hill started. Super long straitaways and winds that were angled inward for funnel effect. I wouldn't be surprised if 170 MPH cars (without governers) could get 200+ with some of the hills (super long and pretty steep). Nowhere for police to sit either. Just mountain/hill side and guard rail. I have not driven in many places outside of NJ, but I think you would be hard pressed to find a road with long downhill straitaways, curves, beauty and is police proof in the entire US.
Lovin and everyone else, if you are looking for a real nice drive, check out 81 North in central PA in a few weeks (the leaves will be turning). Maybe I'll see you there.

But Astons are my favourite car. Not so much the new ones, but the previous cars that were truly handbuilt.

SL500 and A-CLASS
Is your rear field of view better than the BMW 650? I had trouble looking out the rear window because the rear shelf was so was so high on the 650.
Your car is very gorgeous, and you are one lucky dude. Happy driving.
