Trust me, it gets REAL aggressive in slow traffic. The speeds are just too low to get into a situation that you'd get a ticket. We probably be on the list if they counted fender benders from the combination of aggressive drivers trying to nose into another lane combined with the idiots/assholes who are too distracted…

Drake and Mercedes G-Wagons. Both excessive and unnecessary, but make catchy noises.

Personally, if I was going for a DB9, it would be an automatic. V8 Vantage of that gen I’d get the manual. 

Gonna add in another Ford spark plug replacement. I had a 2010 Fusion with the 3.0L V6, and being a transverse mounted engine, the intake manifold covered the rear bank of plugs. You have to remove the throttle body, EGR valve and associated bracket (with a VERY hard to reach bolt on the bottom), and the intake…

Gonna be buying one of this generation Tahoe/Suburban soon. Will definitely keep that in mind. 

$15k gets you a LOT of Mazda 3 hatch. You can probably find a fully loaded one for that. Maybe not with the turbo engine (too new) but definitely with the 2.5. 

Correct. Those things are HILARIOUSLY small inside for how big they are on the outside. They have less usable space inside than the equivalent Fusion. 

Don’t use wheel-cleaning products as they can damage the wheels.

I mean, even without the Porsche covering, that last chair is still $4200. Not as iconic as the Eames chair, but not a cheap piece of branded chintz either. 

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. In the realm of designer furniture, $5k isn’t terrible. The classic Eames lounge chair is more expensive than this.

Nope. Completely missed that one. Carry on. 

What ARE the common issues on the DB9? Being designed under Ford ownership, I know there’s a few parts-bin parts going on, but how difficult is it to service?

I think DB9's are approaching the BOTTOM of their depreciation curve. 

If there was suddenly 3x as many ICE vehicles, current gas infrastructure couldn’t keep up either.

I got rear-ended in my Mazda 6 in Soul Red. The body shop had difficulties paint matching it, and kept it for an extra 2 weeks. I honestly think they messed up and had to start over. They ended up doing an excellent job though.

The racing Zondas are COOL, just not pretty. The Cinque is nice, but my favorite is the F Roadster.

Bad example. 

Overriding over a decade of muscle memory for the sites I visit is very difficult. 

These types of articles are why I came to Jalopnik in the first place. We need more deep dives into obscure and rarely covered sections of the automotive world. Channel your inner Jason Torchinsky and bring back the weird stuff!
