I personally prefer hard-top M3's.....looks much meaner, much more scarier and less hairdressier.

Ok...

OK...so here are pictures of the egg nog test.

For those of you that are a bit concerned about the reality of the situation I am also enclosing a post that I did on the Aston Martin forum talking about the fact that I am going to have to redo my driveway in order to get the Vanquish S up to the house. It should be self explanatory.

Here is the post:

Have to rip apart the driveway...
________________________________________
Well, this car is going to cost more than I thought. I just found out that I am going to have to rip out about 65 feet of concrete and repour the front of my driveway in order to get the Vanquish S up to the house and into the garage.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this might be avoided? The biggest problem is that I am at the end of a cul-de-sac and the street drain is by my property to basically the whole street slants down toward my house creating a "V" type situation when you transition from the street to my driveway.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this problem short of ripping out the driveway and repouring it would be appreciated.

That would work but you can't go into the street as it is not my property. It can only be done within my property lines which start at the street curb.

the best way would be to take the driveway out and repour it at a lower gradient since you cant move out into the street. Depending on how thick your cement is, you could possible grind it down along the high spot, but that would potentiallly weaken its structure. So basically your parking on the road. :P
