New to me DBS (Casino Royale)
Hello guys,
Just though I would share some pics of my new ride with you. I had been looking for about a year and finally got the specs that I wanted:
2009 Aston Martin DBS
Transmission: 6 speed manual
Exterior color: Casino Royale
Interior color: Obsidian Black
Just for kicks, here is the list I carried around that reminded me why I wanted the DBS and what I didn't already have with the Vantage (in order of importance ):
Anyway, I just had to tell somebody about it because I am all smiles.

Looks great, congrats!
Were the '06 models lacking a lot of features added for '07 and later? Steering control I knew, but cruise control, dimming mirror, power fold mirrors, park distance sensors, cd player, bluetooth, nav, garage door opener, side indicator lights(!!), and lit door handles are all on my '07. Don't have heated seats (don't need them) but it was available in '07.
Where in Fl are you?

Thanks, guys.
As far as the '06 goes, I'm sure that others were customized to have some of the features I was missing. But, at the time, the Vantage had everything that I wanted. By the way, I did have a CD changer in my Vantage (corrected above - oops).
I'm in Northeast Florida where there's plenty of room to roam on my new wheels.

Will do, Michael. Any particular route/road I should look at if I do get into that area?

By the way, everyone, I am officially honeymooning with my new car and I have a feeling it's going to last a while. The honeymoon with my Vantage lasted over two years...it started to fade as soon as I heard the growl upon starting the "new to me" DBS.
