    What handles better, an F430 or a DB9?

    You be the judge.

    damn - scary stuff, I have driven the DB9 extensively and did not like it too much to be honest with you. Hope the occupants were ok

    Holy sh.it!

    Very scary, if you look at the DB9. Such a beautiful car (it was), good to hear that the occupants are well.

    Perhaps a prototype of the forthcoming Aston Martin SUV?

    That's gotta hurt. Such an expensive toy wrecked like that. I bet the driver will have nightmares about it for a while.

    feel really sorry... a lot of times many laymen just think they are too good at driving. Hence, even with a small 987s, I am very careful because sports cars tend to make you overestimate your skills and underestimate the perils of driving fast.

    That statement fits perfectly to what one of the guys said at the linked website:

    "BTW, I coined an acronym a while back for drivers (and riders) with expensive powerful machines they can't handle:
    WET (Wallet, Ego, Throttle)"
