Having owned a DB11 I can confirm this is real. They make people smile, not scowl and swear under their breath.
-
They do. I always smile when I see an Aston.
Plus 90% of the time, the owners are quality. Unlike Urus owners ๐๐๐ -
โ@realMaverickBuckley no shade to the owners but the urus is a premium disappointment, a plastic POS
Lamborghini ๐๐ -
@_good_for. Lamborghini is smart as hell for making the Urus cuz all the posers are gobbling those up like crazy ๐๐๐
-
It is Impossible not smile for a beauty like Aston!!!

Nobody wants to call their insurance and say: “I hit an Aston Martin”

They make way because they know you’re probably on your way to the repair shop
-
Nah the Mercedes engine in it is great

โ@bmd1989 don’t worry I will stop making jokes about the almost billion dollar company if it upsets you so much.
-
@t0zu its not about defending them, but a aston owner, will never complain if its not that reliable.If you can afford a 300k euros car, you dont care about that.You have mentality of a poor person, thats why its funny.Aston is not made for medium class, so relax

I would make room too that’s for sure, not because the price but because of the overall appearance.
-
Yeah. An appearance that looks like an expensive sports car. Which would kill your insurance if hit. Itโs price but around a corner.

They don’t want beef with their insurance
-
That makes perfect sense. ๐๐

@KaramanoฤluMehmetBey1923not really. UK motor insurance works very differently to places like the States. I started writing the reasons why but easier to just paste ChatGPTโs list of differences ๐
ChatGPT:
United Kingdom:
Bottom line: third parties are extremely well protected, and insurers have very limited ways to dodge paying.
What UK motor insurance does
โข Third-party cover is mandatory by law
โข Covers:
โข Injury or death to other people
โข Damage to other peopleโs property
โข No realistic upper limit:
โข Personal injury: effectively unlimited
โข Property damage: usually ยฃ1.2โยฃ20 million depending on policy (legal minimum is high)If the accident was your fault
โข The other party is paid in full, regardless of:
โข Your finances
โข Your policy excess
โข Your insurerโs profitability
โข The insurer cannot cap payouts for injury
โข Claims are handled centrally and conservatively
โข Victims can often claim directly against your insurerCultural/legal mindset
โInnocent third parties must be made whole.โ
UK law treats motor injury as a social risk, not a personal gamble.
โธป
๐บ๐ธ United States
Bottom line: third-party protection exists, but it is limited, fragmented, and very easy to under-insure.
What US motor insurance does
โข Liability insurance is mandatory in most states, BUT:
โข Minimums are very low
โข Set at the state level, not federal
โข Typical minimums (example):
โข $25,000 bodily injury per person
โข $50,000 per accident
โข $10,000โ$25,000 property damage(Some states are even lower. A serious crash can blow past this instantly.)
If the accident was your fault
โข The insurer pays only up to your policy limits
โข Once limits are hit:
โข The injured third party can sue you personally
โข Your assets, wages, and future income may be at risk
โข Medical bills alone can exceed limits within hours
โข Legal disputes are common and adversarialCultural/legal mindset
โYou bought X dollars of protection. Thatโs all anyone gets.โ
Motor insurance is treated as a private contract, not a social guarantee.

Exactly lol

Itโs like owning your way
-
I mean it was your right of way in all of these
-
on roads like these, there’s no “right of way”, it’s just whoever gives up first
-
Yep ๐๐๐
Exactly what I was going to say ๐ ๐ ๐ -
โ@KingFinnchno bro, on roads like these you have the right od way if your lane is’t bocked. If the obstacle is on tour side, you give way.
-
@KingFinnch and he was first

Thatโs actually pretty awesome
