I would like to get the general consensus from this board on a question. I am thinking of trading my Carrera Gt in for a new black/tan Aston Martin DBS...thoughts?
Keep the Carrera GT and get the Aston Martin DBS.

i came to Dallas with $600 and and an orange 1972 Vega station wagon in 1982. Since then I have purchased over $9 billion in real estate in 38 states, run over 125 partnerships, and own over 10 companies from real estate, nightclubs and manufacturing. just a regular joe with a bad case of taking risk. just lucky.

It's always nice to near a hard working individual in the land of opportunity. As for the GT or DBS, I would keep the GT unless your "Bond" lady wants the DBS. The GT is very unique compared to a DBS.

shipping the bugatti to the west coast next wed. supposed to get it back by jan. 15th. track date will be first part of feb. or earliest forecast of weather being above 50 degrees for at least three hours.

headed to eagles canyon to run the ferrari 599 this Sunday. I am taking the Bugatti and the Carrera out there, but probably won't run the Bugatti. May run the Carrera for a while though.

Frank,

Took all three cars to Eagles Canyon today under the instruction of Jason Hart. Go to his web site to see a cool pic of the cars and his comments. We took tons of videos of the cars racing, and launch the Bugatti four times. Once I get the videos downloaded I will put them on the forum board. All in all it was an amazingly cool day. i will have to say, of all three cars, the carrera was the overall biggest animal. As one of our pro instructors said "that car runs angry"....more to come...

Awesome! Now I've got something to do tomorrow at work

Today was the perfect day to be out there. Weather was at mid-to-high-60s.
Aren't you glad you didn't trade in the Carrera for the AM?

Great shot!

Let me know next time you head out to Eagle Canyon Raceway, I'm only about 30 miles from there
