The Spears slapper too with a hint of minge

'zactly. The only caveat is that horrible choice of slushbox transmission in the McMerc. Otherwise, it's a brilliant GT car. Power, exterior shape, interior design (I've sat in a few and they are quite nice), the view down that long hood, excellent brakes. And it's got an AIR BRAKE for pete's sake. I never 'loved' that car due to it's size and the transmission, but compared to the SLS and AM it's a no-brainer. And it IS a car I could drive everyday.
My only fear is that a bump on any part of it's CF exterior is a $25K repair

There can be no finer motor for wafting down to LM than a 722 Cabrio; slushmatic tranny notwithstanding.

SLS every time for me. Much better looking and infinitely more charm.
I also like the Aston, but all Astons regardless of model and year look exactly the same in my eyes.
