Since the tender age of 12, Alex P. had wanted to own an Aston Martin, but it was a pretty extravagant toy to justify. But a few months ago, he finally splurged, legitimizing the purchase by renting it out to recoup some of the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

And a fulfilling investment it has been \u2014 both financially, and personally. He (and his inner 12 year old) relish cruising around town in his dream car \u2014 from the panoramic Pacific Coast Highway and the twists and turns of Mulholland Drive to just running errands, driving his dream car makes everyday chores all the more exciting.<\/p>\n

\"Aston <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great car to impress people, and better yet, it\u2019s a ton of fun to drive,\u201d he said. His first renter surprised his long-distance girlfriend at the airport with the Aston and took her out for a nice dinner at an LA hotspot.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while Teslas are all the rage these days, especially in California, Alex counters, \u201cTeslas are fun to drive, but they don\u2019t have the roar of a V12 engine.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Aston<\/p>\n

Renting out his Aston is about the money, sure, but it\u2019s also about sharing that dream drive, his boyhood dreams, and that inimitable roar. He\u2019s renting it out for the love of the car itself, so he\u2019s priced it really competitively. \u201cI\u2019m massively undercutting the prices of other exotic rental car agencies around LA,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n
