just like porn, aston martin was junk and only perverts and racist colonizers like james bond like them. especially ford era aston. at least the new ones are decent but they still suck on the track

With E92 you either have to buy one with those already done or you have to factor in the price of doing them.... Same with V10 M5 I suppose.
