Will fit nicely into the back of the garage like threes days after they get board with it.

Funny cos I passed two Aston Martins while I was cycling home from work today.

For only about $80k more, you can get a brand new, full-size DB11. It looks pretty nice.

Personally, I’d go for the Mach 5 Ferrari Testa Rossa

I was going to say you could buy a real DB5 for that but apparently I’ve been out of the market for way too long because they’re going for way more than that. Here’s a DB4 barn find for $325K. Cheapest '60s Aston I could find. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/aston-martin/db4/2465218.html

Definitely rather have the “Ferrari”. At least it has doors.

Perfect for the toffee-nosed little conservative in your life! /s

Fuck the poors!

So basically the car company is betting that there are at least 125 stupidly rich parents out there who will be willing to lay down $123K to spoil their kids with a car from a film franchise those kids probably aren’t even old enough to care about.

The sad part is the car company is probably right.

[gracchus]

Still not as cool as…

Probably the only children’s toy that needs insurance.

[bashful]

Richie Rich, your next car is ready.

Somewhere there has to be a parody award for Dumbest Toys of the Rich. This DB5 would make it near the top, at least.

Life seemed so simple then…

Also… Mao Chan…

I have to wonder if that had some influence on the creation of Girls Und Panzer…
