I personally fail to see the sadness.

An Aston Martin is one of the greatest marques of all time. Owning one would be a priviledge.

AM has a well deserved reputation for engineering excellence and performance spanning many decades. Their provenance is well earned at places like Le Mans, Brands Hatch, etc.

The sheer craftsmanship in these cars far exceeds that of any Porsche.

Brand Loyalty is a good thing, but not to the exclusion of everything else.

To your B-i-L, I say: "Well Done!"

Cheers!
