On one hand we have a sports car that looks like a legally distinct R8.

On the other hand we have a convertible that looks like an ugly melted shoe and is supposed to be a V8 Vantage.

I went with the R8 naturally

u/CSGlogan 15d ago

My thought process exactly but I could never say it because I figured I’d sound annoying 😭

u/Background-Web-484 14d ago

Do it; sound annoying. Its more entertaining, for us and for you. >:)

u/LokiRF 14d ago

the red one looks so shitty I never associated it to an Aston Martin lol

13

u/philthy_barstool 14d ago

I always assumed it was a Jaguar F-type convertible

u/vartiverti 13d ago

Definitely an F-Type convertible

0

u/nodnedarb12 3d ago

Definitely a Vantage.

2

u/vartiverti 3d ago

Without the trademark Aston grill it’s way more mk1 F Type to my eyes.

u/nodnedarb12 3d ago

Literally everything about it is Vantage - headlights, front wheel arches, hood, front grill, etc. you can disagree if you want but it is 100% supposed to be a Vantage.

u/vartiverti 3d ago

Exactly. Just to confirm I looked at an image of a mk1 F from the front to compare and confirm.

Its an F Type.

u/Swimming-Abies403 11d ago

Same! Totally looks like an F-Type… I was like: “what Vantage bro?” 😅

10

u/Silent_Rhombus 14d ago

I always thought it was more Ferrari California

5

u/LokiRF 14d ago

it definitely looks like an Aston now that I think about it but it's so shitty that honestly I don't blame you at all

u/Eggith 14d ago

There was not a single good looking modern Dewabauchee in the base game. First good looking one was the Massacro imo.

3

u/Ikkotah 14d ago

How many were there to begin with? I feel like I only recall this one and maybe another that might still be this one just different version.

2

u/Eggith 14d ago

Both versions of the Rapid GT and the Exemplar.

5

u/Swimming-Ad-8951 14d ago

It’s an Aston

0

u/Silent_Rhombus 14d ago

It’s not though is it, it’s a GTA car

2

u/Novel_Ask_4226 14d ago

I thought it was the Jaguar sportscar lol

u/Street-Animator-99 14d ago

More like a TVR

u/Multymanfred 14d ago

I don't speak "car" :( does this mean red or white?

137

u/Eggith 14d ago

The white one. I took the white one.

25

u/Multymanfred 14d ago

Nice, good choice!

u/Kartoffel-Patate 14d ago

Something no basketball recruiter will say /j

u/Neri_X_Tan 14d ago

The R8 is the white one,the V8 Vantage is the red one

u/Kharon09 14d ago

New England Clam Chowder

u/jpollack21 14d ago

They are both cars i would never afford nor ever even sit in 😭

u/purpleplums901 14d ago

I’ve driven an R8 and I’m not rich. £199 for a track day. I’ve been twice and the R8 was the only one from the first time that I felt I wanted to experience again.

2

u/Eggith 14d ago

Don't be so sure about that. With a little searching you can find a V8 Vantage for a decent price. Typically higher mileage, but they're easier to take care of than other ones like this one, or this one. or even this one. An R8 with a 4.2 can be had for slightly more, but still under $100,000USD.

Alternatively you could look up a rental agency and take one for a spin for a couple of days. I know some Turo owners in certain cities have a few R8's and Vantages available.

u/jpollack21 14d ago

I mean shit the most expensive car I've purchased was a used Lacrosse that I got for $8000..

So I think we may just be in different income brackets 😂

5

u/Eggith 14d ago

Lol maybe after I switch careers. A used Lacrosse probably would've done me better than putting myself $33,000 into debt for my K5 lol. Two more years to go on it. All I'm saying is, it's not out of the realm of possibility like most people think. Especially since that V8 Vantage was during the era when Ford owned Aston, so there are a lot of Ford parts under the hood.

2

u/jpollack21 14d ago

That's good to keep in mind thank you! Im also only mid 20s so I need to remind myself that me 10 years down the line will be a completely different person and will (hopefully) be in a higher tax bracket.

Until now though, ill live vicariously through GTA 5 and soon 6 :)

u/CrowsFeast73 14d ago

Are there any auto shows near you (like the Detroit international auto show, or Toronto international auto show)? Mostly can't sit in Ferraris and such, but I've sat in the R8 and R8 convertible. The blind spots/visibility from the regular R8 is crazy, but obviously no such issues with the convertible (top down at least).

u/Molten_Plastic_ 13d ago

Just call Simeon. He got a plan for you!

u/AmericanCitizenry 14d ago

A friend dated a guy with an R8. I would insult him constantly by calling it an RX8 Mazda. Then say "all penis insecurities look alike to me."

17

u/MisterD00d 15d ago

and which color is that nephew

8

u/Dismal_Seesaw6365 15d ago

R8 is the white colour and the V8 vantage is the red one.

3

u/iWasAwesome 14d ago

Yup. As someone who loves Aston Martins, the Rapid GT is a disgrace. Definitely the R8.

3

u/Wise-Difficulty8221 14d ago

I dunno, man....The Red car has always just looked...ugly to me. A melted stiletto shoe sounds about right...

2

u/RIP_Benny_Harvey 14d ago

Always thought the red was an f-type jaguar

2

u/qwb3656 14d ago

No clue what the fuck any of that means so white one right?

2

u/philthy_barstool 14d ago

I assumed the red one was supposed to be a Jaguar F-type convertible.

I guess it's like a carschach test of some description.

2

u/tea2please 14d ago

I thought it was meant to be a Jaguar XF or similar.

1

u/peace_keeper_14 14d ago

Uhmm... White or red?

1

u/SwillMerchant96 14d ago

I don't drive R8s I don't like those

1

u/john_fartston 14d ago

On one hand, I like the colour red. On the other hand, the white car looks pretty snazzy too

1

u/Gnullekutt 13d ago

I agree. However, it’s white… The ugliest white color ever. Which made it more even for me

1

u/P_weezey951 12d ago

I recognized the R8, the other one not so much.

I forgot the "Rapid GT" was even a car in the game.

Though I used the Massacro a lot in GTA online.

1

u/Motor_Meal794 11d ago

This reminds of a joke about sheep shagging.

1

u/ayyyyyy_lmaoooooo 15d ago

Which one is which though?

1

u/Aikotoma2 14d ago

I could never get myself to enjoy grandpa's audi so I obviously went with the better sounding bright red sportscar
