[(m) M3.5K]

I think these Aston Martin's are great looking cars. Don't know why, but I seem to see a new one once a week now that summer is here. I don't know much about their performance, but the specs are impressive: 420 bhp, 400 lb ft of torque, 0-62 mph @ 5.0 and 184 mph max speed. Is this just a bay area trend or has Ford cranked up the volume on these cars (and are there other buyers of these cars outside this strange bay area place, where M3s still command a hefty premium).

and I agree it's beautiful. My favorite cab remains the 360 Spider. A guy I work with has a Modena, and was considering trading it in for a 575 Maranello, but now he's leaning towards a 360 Spider with an F1 tranny. I like to think the influence of my 02 SMG Cab parked next to his Jag Vanden Plas (sp?) every day had something to do with his change of mind.
