For me, I think an Aston Martin would be neat :cool

What if no Callaway?

I'd probably go with the Viper.
 
If there were no Callaway, I'd either get a medium quasar blue '96 Camaro Z28 hardtop, or I'd go for my neighbor's '77 Ferrari 308 GTB that... needs a little work...

FYI, there is one at a small unusual/exotic car dealer here in Leesburg. A late '90s DB7 convertible. They are asking $55k. It is gorgeous.

The DB7 is my preferred model of Aston Martin. The V8 Vantage is too blunt and bloated DB9, the DB9 looks like a long headlight DB7 copy, and the Vanquish looks like a DB9 with a set of wide hips and a large mouth.

There was a nice yellow DB7 Volante (convertible) here for sale at Park Place Bentley a few months ago. I was familiar with the car and it was beautiful. Very rare color from only 1 specific year I believe.

It was like this one... if not this exact one.

That's my neighbor's daily driver, so for its age and likely high mileage, it's holding up well for a Ferrari. The ground clearance of that European front spoiler is too low though for roads in Dallas. He may have scraped it off on a curb when parking, but even more likely, he encountered a pothole or dip that was too much for the car. The rear end damage is pretty easy to guess what happened... Don't you like the wheels though? I'm digging the 14 inch stars... :cool

The picture you posted was a V8 Vantage. Hard to tell them apart huh? :chuckle

I don't dislike it, I just think all the Aston Martins look too similar, and the DB7 was the best looking of the 4. :)

Probably my wife's Saturn.
 
If there were no Callaway's I'd probably be in a Competition yellow 94 Corvette
