I like how Aston is marketing themselves as super Luxe while still going racing. They employ actual craftsmen to make these things. It sounds like a fantastic way for rich people to spend their money.

John Travolta beat them to it:

The shifter location in the saddle also confirms everything I've ever wondered about John Travolta.

Actually, to confirm that, the shifter would need to be in the middle of the driver's seat.

George Barris has done many, many horrible things to cars.

Too bad his brother, Sam had all the talent.

George is just a pitchman.

The model kit collector in me is forcing me to look for that on ebay now.

That Aston will go for big bucks. The worst kind of money douchebags are horsey douchebags.

Yup. If I'm asked what I do for a living, at a horse show, I always reply that we're a Welfare family. I just enjoy the reaction. Sometimes I substitute janitor or garbage man.

I have GOT to do this next time I get stuck at something like that! I don't dress up for Halloween (usually) and if asked what I am I say 'the most detested creature on the planet: the white middle class American male'.

It looks very pornographic--especially to that specific era.

Why? I buy quirky odd model kits still wrapped in plastic. Its actually the cheapest part of my car obsession. Although I'll admit Travolta's face on the box is super creepy.
