Perhaps the two of you are suited to each other.
I'm glad that my wife wouldn't be impressed by
an Evo.


And yet virtually every pro driver is. I guess your wife is above
"pro" level since she alone discounts the achievement that the Evo
represents.




0-60??? Top speed???

You are talking absolute nonsense, as usual.


Wake up, Donal. It's 2008, not 1975. There are a LOT of fast cars out
there. The Euro spec's Evo is as fast as the DB9 and is FAR more agile
on the track in STOCK trim! Not only that, but you'd need a perfect
launch to get ahead of the AWD Evo. Like I said. It's 2008 and the
high end is about handling. If you wanna drag race, the DB9 loses to a
LOT of cars costing a LOT less.



The M3 is a boy's car. The DB9 is a man's car.


The M3 outhandles the DB9 easily, just like the Evo. How is a car that
shouts "look at me!" manly? DRIVERS prefer a Q car, which is why a lot
of Evo owners remove the wing.



Afraid??

No.


You're not making a good case.


Nah, you're not mad! This little debate has gone great for you! You're
on par with John McCain!

I have to admit that you have insulted me with that one.
Despite the insult, I feel that I will be able to carry on.


I'm sorry. The McCain comparison was unjustified and I retract it.




I admit that you are correct when you say that
an Evo has more class than a DB9.


No, not MORE class. The DB9 is a classy car to be sure. But it's
simply not a better handling car than an Evo, M3 or GT-R and driving
enthusiasts are usually looking for handling and speed at the top end
first and foremost. In THAT class the DB9 loses to a lot of better
designed suspensions and drive trains.


You are a genius. Not many people would have
been able to figure out that an Evo would be more
desirable than a DB9.


Only a poor person will "desire" a car like the DB9 over an Evo. It
represents a level of wealth few people can attain. I could afford
one, but frankly I'd be crazy to buy one. I want fun, practicality and
performance in a car, not the best parking spot.


I am envious that your wife is intelligent enough
to see that your Evo is better than a DB9.


She sure does. She knows the DB9 would be useless around here on wet
or snowy roads and it stands out in a boastful way she does not enjoy.
She enjoys luxuries, like the hot tub I just bought her, but she
doesn't like to advertise them to the world.

Again, sorry about the McCain thing.
