The biggest myth is that they are unreliable money pits. Regular maintenance and my DB9 has been rock solid. It’s not cheap, but it’s not the nightmare that some people make it out to be.

They are all about straight line speed, the misconception. While the DB9 is more of a GT car, it is excellent at long distance comfortable cruising.

The DB9's design is timeless. The thing still looks as good today as when it was released. You can't say the same for a lot of modern supercars that will be dated in a few years.
