.....it has been on my mind for the last 2 years....I shouldn't have opened it!
I think cars can be very similar to watches....it takes a few tries before you really realise what you love. But once you realise what you love, it is on your mind non-stop.
I have always own 2 cars at the same time, 1 SUV and 1 other switching between coupe or sedan In late 2013, I was fortunate enough to get the car of my dreams, a car that combines coupe and sedan beautifully, a car which had Ford Fusion copying the front ...
You always have to do a double take to actually realize is is a four door sedan. As for the cost vs the pleasure well only you can be the real judge. The car is meant to be driven. Don't worry it wont depreciate any faster driving it. On the contrary driv...
I'm glad the new JLC transponder model is made for every Aston, not just for DBS initially, but will be stuck with this car if I buy this watch... The nearest dealership is 200 miles away, so that makes the servicing or repair really difficult, unlike Cal...
The watch matches the DB9. You are in another realm with magical crystal keys. Us earthing can't match you. I was hoping Nico would chime in and get yo on the right track. Right track to be corrupted and have to hunt out the JLC to match your car. And you...
in fact, one of my legs is already buried in earth, haha...Yes, I'm always watching my back when I'm on this forum....:)) I love the JLC AMVOXs...hmm...maybe with the watch, my wife will have no choice but to agree not take more losses. Thanks for the ide...
that is a beautiful car. glad that there is another person here that washes their cars by hand!! whether a Ford or a Porsche or Ferrari, i will always wash by hand. brings back fond memories with my dad when we would wash cars on a Saturday morning.
IMO the Panamera is great but the visibility of the rear window is small due to the sloping angle of the rear. It drives really nice especially for such a big car. One thing about servicing is that for the filter change it's in the front bumper, you need ...
before and I do like it as well...with all the nice safety features from Porsche like LCA, reverse camera and LDW, I may not need to look back much :)) I'm surprised, respect that you are capable and skillful to do oil change for the Panamera, will look f...
Oil changes , serpentine belts, Brake bleeds, and brake pad replacement, are easy. Doing these type of maintenance is really no different on any car. Rhino ramps and jack stands are your friends! LOL! tip: Get a giant oil pan, these P-cars use a lot of Mo...
than previous model. I had the Cayenne Turbo with 21" rims and was rougher, higher road noise. Therefore, I traded in for the new S model and I like the new interior as well as the drive train before they changed into a V6 for 2015. Rgds Raymond ...
only put 600 miles on the car last year. Had it for 3 years, only drove 2200 miles total. Just felt like I need a car that I can feel comfortable everywhere. Bought a Cayman GTS. The best handling car I've ever driven.
I haven't spent a lot of time listening to the audio system in that car... But if it's amazing, I want to hear it. I don't spend a lot of time listening to music. The only time I do is in the car (when I'm not listening to the news on the radio). A fantas...
which I traded in for the Aston. My other SUV has been the 2004 BMW X5 4.4i, then the 2008 Cayenne Turbo, and latest is a 2014 Cayenne S, posted in another photo here above. I only joined PuristS forum since last Oct, so I will keep this advice in mind to...
BMW is quite advance with voice recognition software, am quite impressed and sometimes fun to play with. Check out this link, which I copied from an earlier Dec post of my previous BMWs since 2002 till 2010. amp;msid=31040663&ti=961343&fi=1076&...
All goodies. Great collection of BMWs. And all in nice colors. I'd really like to have a 2010 650i coupe someday too. Great looking car. Terrible backseat, but a good looking two seater. Yours looks fantastic in white. You know where you went wrong? On al...
Wow, your Rapide is stunning in black. And the V12 engine must sound heavenly :) Great AM. Who cares about depreciation? Enjoy it and take it for a ride and just have fun. Regards, ED-209
about sitting in the driver's seat, or see one in my area except car shows. Who knows I may get the Z06....the new Corvette design is a winner and I like it a lot...often, I thought it was the prancing horse. Rgds Raymond
It's always great to read other PuristS' cars and their ownership experiences. I took a look at the Astons too when I was looking at my Maserati, and they sure are sexy. The shop had several Rapide's there too. I hope to one day get an Aston as I find the...
They do have few Rapides that are priced very competitively....I got mine from Los Gatos. I will think about this dealer next time, in fact, one of their beefed-up Onyx Panamera Turbo looks stunning. Price is one thing, but warranty cost, repair, maintena...
means a lot, sincerely appreciated. I read a lot of magazines: Roundel, Panorama, Christophorus, Aston Martin, Automobiles, Motor Trends etc.. so I keep track of many auto trend news. I guess that's interest and hobby. This is a real life dilemma situatio...
.....it has been on my mind for the last 2 years....I shouldn't have opened it! I think cars can be very similar to watches....it takes a few tries before you really realise what you love. But once you realise what you love, it is on your mind non-stop.
giving to my wife or friends is I only live once....actually a fact. The new Rapide S front grill design has changed, I think to avoid being too much resemblance by Ford Fushion but they still cannot avoid the Ford Fiesta :(( However, the new marriage wit...
The problem is that the AM is your 'garage queen'. As with watches, so with cars: the answer is to drive it. Drive it anywhere. Drive it everywhere. Drive it all the time. Drive it 'just because'. And most of all, drive it through tunnels ( without the B&...
My garage queen was less exotic, a vintage MB SL, but I hand-washed and babied her endlessly. On the occasions when I took her out for a spin and then realized that I needed to drop into a store (inevitably a Wal-Mart) to get something quick - I'd look at...
I cannot imagine what it's like for you or me to behave if some one opens the door and give our car a ding. I'll probably go beserk! There was once a car parked next to my 650Ci and a kid just push their door out wide and touch my car, and man...I can fee...
I've done that. And my vehicle wasn't even an especially expensive vehicle A passenger out of a car opened the door too quickly and lightly dented my driver's door. The passenger was a friend of the driver. Driver was the owner of the car. I got the drive...
In any car. Even my rentals. I'm really upset about shopping cart dings and door dings. So I assess the situation thoroughly. I also won't go to certain shopping plazas at times the kids are out.
