VERY COOL ..... TOO BAD I CAN'T AFFORD ONE

by Bob Walsh

Aston Martin has just announced a limited run (25) of brand new 1964 Aston Martin DB5s will be manufactured. The cars will be built with many of the neat extra goodies that were installed on the famous vehicle used in Goldfinger. One of the original cars from the movie still exists. It sold in 2010 for $4.6 million and still appears in the occasional movie or commerecial. They "new" cars will be a paltry $3.5 million.

It should be noted that Aston Martin is saying up front that the cars are not being sold as being street legal. Maybe it's the machine guns and rocket launchers. The ejection seat might be an issue too.

I was thinking of getting one for the wife until you reminded me about the ejection seat.

You could always disconnect that.
