Had to be low mileage, otherwise those would have caught on something and wrapped the car around it as if Wile E Coyote was driving. Another thought, Wile E Coyote's car?

The 14K is the asking price. 😖 It's for sale in Marketplace, Austin.

Seems like a good choice at this point. Lack of focus or resolution probably is also a good choice.

Finally - a solution to the car park door dingers.

There was a similar photo posted a few years ago. I think it was on either an X300 or X308 but can't recall the details.

That car is a multitasker. It doubles as a combine to harvest the local alfalfa fields....

"Mad Max" ready, or "Death Race 2000" compatible.

The fact you can actually buy a Goldfinger DB5 is hilarious!

Even more hilarious is that Aston Martin sold 36 of them last year!

last night I was watch and new auto show on TV hosted by Supercar Blondie. They went to Houston to find out the origins of the Slab Riders who style there car with those giant spinners. Some were longer than our example. To each there own and all that but not for me. But it was interesting to learn something new.
I'll keep mine the way it is for the most part and keep it going. Cruise on, TM

BTW, I was typing this message last night when as I was reaching for the send button, the power went out. Man, it gets dark with no electricity!! :^)
