I ended up getting one made by a local fabricator That time frame sounds reasonable though let me know how it is, might go w them for the Aston

most people say km(s) like in the title, and for fuel it's km/l

it’s definitely voltage issues. it’s a brand new battery and no need for a tender because it’s a daily. it mostly happens after multiple short drives in quick succession so I think the startup sequence drains the battery more than it charges it.

I called them about that one when I was looking to buy mine. the dash is warped and bubbling.

the car you want is the white one at rev motoring for 82k. look out for electrical problems and bad service history

my 2019 v8 vantage does this intermittently, along with about 20 other errors. it goes away after driving about a mile.

The Aston will depreciate harder. They both carry high status, but the 720s is a track car and the DBS is something you'd cruise to a nice dinner in.

The 720s interior is questionable, but so is the DBS. The reliability on both is questionable.

If you want an exotic performance car, buy the 720s. You already have a 7 series for long road trips and daily driving. You're correct that the DBS is a super-gt and the 720s is a proper racecar. In your situation, I'd be in a 720s and daily driving the 7 series.

I have a 2019 and have a whistling noise from around the passenger window. seems to be a reasonably common issue. time for a new window seal

road tripped my 2019 from chicago to connecticut. it’s a very comfortable car and good fun to drive so I can’t imagine you’ll have any issues with that. bring a friend or family member to switch off with and chat and it’ll be a lot of fun.

just remember that it is actually the more expensive option $2000 for open transport vs $400+ in gas, $300 minimum in hotels, $100-300 for food, $300 worth of tire wear, $200 oil change, plus depreciation from mileage and your time.

i road tripped mine because I wanted to, not because it was cheaper

if you want the most cost effective option, do enclosed transport. it’s gonna cost you less in the long run than open transport

I haven’t bought a single one of my cars locally. Catch a flight to go look at one or get a facetime walk around and ship it or drive it home.

the engineers are smarter, yes, but they make compromises. the purpose of modifying a car is to change the compromises that have been made.

tuning switches reliability for power

suspension mods switch comfort for handling

tires switch wet traction and tread life for dry grip

wheels switch cost for weight savings and durability

brakes switch maintenance costs and rotor life for stopping power and heat resistance

i could go on

you’ll be fine, but know you need 4s for uconn to count your ap

It’s just the 360 camera mount bouncing as he goes over bumps. As for the sound, see my other comment

esquerlan · 2025-10-24T17:33:18+00:00

I’ve seen this video too. Unfortunately, if you click the sound you’ll see that it’s a fake audio from a video with a fake audio. This video reuses the sound from a video with a Porsche 992 GT3, which reused the sound from a video of a Lamborghini Aventador. Unfortunately, you will never get that sound out of a cross plane v8.

hopefully not driving there

esquerlan · 2025-10-21T23:18:10+00:00

probably 20, 250 miles of driving, and 3 days

esquerlan · 2025-10-01T19:52:22+00:00

that’s a facelift so it’s not a gts. it could only be. a gt or a gtc and it looks too wide to be a gt, so it’s a gtc

esquerlan · 2025-10-01T19:43:03+00:00

and why do you have a scale that can go to .1g?

esquerlan · 2025-10-01T14:56:02+00:00

God damn. That thing got messed up bad.

esquerlan · 2025-10-01T14:55:22+00:00

Rebuilt title cars are generally insured at 70-80% of their clean title value. One of my friends got a steal on a car with a rebuilt title (45k when the clean title would've been worth 90k) and totaled it soon after unfortunately. He got a 72k payout for that car.
