I have seen Aston's in the street but very rarely. I saw my first Aston Martin in 1977 in the streets of Durban South Africa. At the time that was the most exotic car that I had ever seen and remember somewhat desiring one at the time although not seriously since I only became a car nut later in life, about 5 years ago.

But most recently I've seen a bunch of them at the dealer where I got my current car. The name of the dealer was Foreign Cars Italia and is Foreign Cars Europa nowadays. They are in Greensboro North Carolina and have a nice new showroom with separate sections for Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin and Porsche. (No Lambos). The entrance foyer usually has a mix of various expensive cars. They have had AMG MBs there, M BMWs the most expensive Audis, there's been a couple of Bentleys there too as well as an RR and some others.

They have a website and the URL is: http://www.foreigncarsitalia.com

I have not counted how many of each exotics they have there, but just the quick glance impression is about 10 new Porsches, 6 Ferraris, 4 Astons, 6 Maseratis, or something like that. More used ones in the parking lot outside. I have sat in those Astons as well (Also sat in Maseratis and Ferraris). They are really gorgeous, but I think I'd get bored with them after a while, same goes for Maseratis,...therefore Porsches for me since no chance of getting bored, particularly in an air-cooled Porsche...but that's a different topic...

I'm just amazed how massive the 6er looks next to the others. The Maserati on the other hand is quite small and elegant ...I've never really been a big Maserati fan but all lined up like that, I honestly think the Maserati is the prettiest.
