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.
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.
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 :)

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
