Everything I read about these suede or alcantara steering wheels are that they just don't hold up well. Our palms sweat and frequently our hands are the dirtiest part among us, and so the wheels tend to get matted and nasty looking. So yeah, I concur. CCBs are nice and all that, but I just...

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but I hate you. ;) This is exactly what I almost bought a few years ago. Same colors, same series, same wheels... it was in Texas (I'm in NC) and I arranged a PPI at the AM dealer, and they quoted me something like $750 to inspect it. I protested...

This generation of AMV8 depreciated about 65% and as since rebounded nicely, even before the pandemic. Probably because the new one is so ugly, LOL. From what I've read and heard, the only real money pit potential in these things is the clutch. It's a transaxle and the labor is substantial to...

I told my wife that the hardest part of the next 3 months will be not answering every question with "I don't give a shit". ;)

Don't let the Aston police see the state of that garage floor!!!!

I know this thread has really gone off the deep end with your (largely entertaining) posts, but I did want to update it for those who contributed thoughtful and helpful advice and thoughts earlier on. I sent in my notice today. Because I am a nice guy and because of how our pension is...

It is shorter, not as wide, not as long and weighs less than the BW. It's not a big car, just about on par with a 911. Now the Bentley, that's a big car! Pictures don't do it justice, but when you walk up to it and realize that it's all about 25% larger than any normal car, then you say "ah...

Rubber is right. I forgot about the muting function, I do use that a lot. Also, some forget, the advantage of the physical knob is that you can use it without looking. For me, even the controls on the steering wheel can rarely be used without looking because my other car's buttons are not in...

Hey, I need my coffee. And booze.

Wow. This quickly degenerated into a techie-word-jumble of obscure (to me) technology acronyms. Based on the OP's original question, or OQ, I'd say that it really depends on whether or not you want those options. The CF bits look great, but me personally, I can do without all of the other...

It was great to meet Sonny in person as well as the other (all but one) unknown-to-me BW owners. Chilly does not begin to describe the day, as it was in the 20s to start, and although it got into the thirties the wind picked up and it remained cold. You Yankees are probably laughing at me, but...

I can't find much with Google, but it looks like around 1800 CT5V-BW were produced in model year 2022. If we keep the math simple and presume 2000 for 2023 and 2024, then that's 6000 cars made so far. Assume that (from what I read here) the average owner drives 5000 miles a year, and that half...

LOL, yeah, sure they do. I'm as OCD as the next guy, if not more so. And when I take my car in for service, if the dealer offers a complimentary wash, I tell them not to. But the dealer is going to wash the car, unless you (like @centex) tell them to leave on the plastic, because it's going...

I had a C5 Z06 and 'normal' C6 & C7 variants, all properly equipped with three pedals. The C6 was a big step up in interior materials. The base C6 had more horsepower than the C5 Z06, although IIRC less torque, weighed more and of course, suspension and brakes. Aside from looks, which tends...

Apparently the Bay area dealers suck as much as the dealers in my area. Most of them wouldn't even talk to me about putting my name on a list for the BW. I found my car in stock in Michigan and bought it remotely @ MSRP and had it shipped. Even the additional cost of shipping was less than...

Skinny blonde chick with more money than Elon.

Don't confuse the discussion with facts. ;) I'm still stuck on this: ;shrug

Thanks for the try. I had, didn't care for the C7, I've had 2 C6s and they're good cars, but the Z06 is way stiff on the road and has engine issues. And expensive. Says the guy that just bought another new car, LOL. As for the rest of you mooks: let's keep this thread civil, eh? This...

So, first, congrats. Details on the model year, engine, etc. please as I don't know when they started/ended with the V12 or if it was even available with three pedals. Second, great color choice. Third, I almost bought a Vantage. Twice. Actually, three times, but the first time it slipped...

Well, at least you didn't write "you're confusion". ;)
