Default My olds are arguing....

Ok hers the problem

My olds who are 51 and 52 yrs of age have just brought a new 3 bed apartemnt harbour appartment out right, mum is retiring and my dad is semi retiring ( own business )

They have just sold their house for a very tidy profit with no morgage to pay off

Dad has always wanted a porsche GT2 in pearl white but mum wants him to get a Aston V8 in deep red

I voted Porker - BUT! It depends on if the Aston Vanquish is a contender here... Then it HAS to be one of those

That said, Porker would be more reliable, but, the Vanquish would look better

My business partner has just bought an AMV8.

In the mettalic maroon.

Sounds awesome.

However I think porsche will be a better drive and hold its money more than the aston.

if your dad has is own buisness then he will apreciate how much he will lose on either car if he buys one and as soon as he realises that they will stop arguing and join forces and have you run them about for [FREE] then spend there money on having fun while you watch but you could always tell him to get a real mans car which has got to be the RS 500 !!!! AVE IT and a escoss for mum and you as its only fair to share as mum and dad have always told you to do it ????
