There are a few (5) Aston Martin folks in my building - they all park on the same floor in the garage, all next to each other. A while back, there were a few different models in the pecking order - DB7, DB8, DB8 Vantage (or maybe it was a DB7 Vantage) - anyway, one guy goes and upgrades to a new DB9. Then about a week later, a second DB9 shows up. Then another, and recently the 4th DB9 arrived. So now there is just one hold out - the DB7 guy. I know he's just plotting to get the new DB when it comes out and have bragging rights, lol. There are 5+ P-cars in the garage as well - including one sweet blue turbo, one or two Caymans, Boxters, and of course, the necessary 911 - but we don't park next to each other [edit: Aug 2008] New additions to this story.

sounds like this party i went to once where there were a few lamborghinis, carrera gt, and ferraris parked out front. And sure enough, you could tell who owned what because they were all out by the pool wearing their respective hats......
No way!! Unbalievable, I would of laughed my A$$ off.
<<<<wears his PORSCHE hat all the time.
Geesh, what kind of company do you work for? Reminds me of that Friends episode where Joey pretended to own the Porsche parked in the street and was wearing all of the Porsche gear.
My friends as a joke almost bought me a porsche hat for my birthday last summer....
That's unreal, 5 Aston Martin and 5 P-cars in one building???? Where do you live, Man J/K... Cheers,
Photo please !
I went down to get a pic after lunch, and it looks like a couple are gone for thanksgiving already. I'll snap some on Monday. -td
There are usually 5 here, but today there were only 4. Note my P in the background, lol. A new Cayman and a 911 Turbo are usually on this floor of the Garage as well. On the bottom floor (where I park) is a nice Boxter-S and 997. Some pics of the Astons: Aston1.jpg Aston2.jpg Aston3.jpg Aston4.jpg Aston5.jpg Aston6.jpg Aston7.jpg
Damn, those AMs make the parking places look rather skinny! Think I'd be paying for a double berth in the garage to keep some space between my car and the opposition. Are all of those oil spots on the floor from the AMs? Chris.
Bunch of freaking James Bond wannabes. Where do you live, and what does everyone do for a living?
LOL..
London - MI6
proves that no matter how expensive your car, no guarantee you can drive (ie park) it
I was gonna comment on the parking jobs too...kinda crappy. I would hate for those guys to park next to me sheesh!
That is the worst parking I have ever seen in my life... Now that said great cars I can't believe that there are that many in one place. And not one coupe in the lot. I guess too much sun there. Nice BRG over brown great color combo.
Does anybody else watch Entourage?
Company perk? I know someone that is a Partner in an organization and all of the Partners get a Jag XJR.
What did the Partners who had performed well get?
That British racing green is beautiful ...
I was thinking the same thing! I wish Vinnie bought me a Astin Martin also.
Dont hate, congratulate....
You got it twisted patner, its "don't hate, particitipate"...
Good point, note taken.
Funny *** thread. Gotta be a law firm. As for the hats, that's so true. On the other hand, my mom (late 70's) thought she was doing me a solid earlier this year when she bought me a FERRARI hat. I said, "Thanks mom." My 6 year old son wears it all the time.
Ok, so if remember, it wasn't too long ago that the Aston upgrade was taking place in my garage. Well, it looks like the war is on again.
Someone bought a Chevy Malibu in the background eh? Nice.

Quotes source post: 4497938
come on now that might be an impala
DBS or bust
Quotes source post: 4498614
It could be! No offense to the Impala guys.
It will be interesting in seeing if they all follow suit.
I think they should all just go to the men's room, pull it out and get it over with.
Well, the story continues to unfold. As noted a few months ago, one of the Astons upgraded his car to this: [note the 3 DB9's in the second picture] Bent1.jpg Bent2.jpg But this recently showed up: dbs1.jpg dbs2.jpg dbs3.jpg
At least he's got a good and safe parking spot! So where is the garage... Greenwich?
Quotes source post: 5685938
Seriously, what time must he arrive to get that spot (assuming it's not reserved)?
Quotes source post: 5685938
Dallas I think those are all reserved spots. That boxed spot often has a 997Turbo. -td
Quotes source post: 5686026
Thought that looked familiar - Chase, right?
I used to work in a building a few years ago with a bunch of mortgage brokers. Parking lot also looked something like that, also a hideous Maybach of all things. They used to park in a circle. At lunch, they would all get together for a circle-... uh, nevermind. But the good news is now they're all driving Kia's.
Quotes source post: 5686121
Yup. You worky in Chase? -td
I love the groupings... Ah, to park my Porsche among Aston Martins.... That would be a kick in the pants! -B
damn... you called it!
Quotes source post: 4497938
Someone's car is fully payed for, and has lots of money in the bank.

Nice! I've been waiting to see one in the wild. Thanks for posting!
Wow, this thread comes back to life. Dig the new P-car..... I got to try all 3 versions over a short track recently. Now I've heard the new customer-ordered cars were delayed at the 4 ports for a key/software upgrade and the new owners are getting complimentary $3850 worth of Porsche Design luggage. So does that company need a west coast rep?
When my Accord was delayed at the dealer, I got a f**king Honda key chain!
Texas....is this the Halliburton building?
I'm doing the wrong thing for a living apparently.

The first thought in my mind when seeing the Panamera photo is "what Mom is driving this stationwagon?" Hehehehe.

AWESOME thread. Very cool to see the progression over 2 years.... keep us updated. No disrespect to the Panamera owner(s), but .... I just can't like its lines. I'm looking forward to the 928.
I see someone's getting the free luggage! Seriously, can't they all afford GERMAN cars?
Quotes source post: 7096928
Halliburton's offices are down the street at Lincoln Plaza.... They don't have that nice a parking garage.
