Toad does everything in the third person, he's the fly on the wall keeping tabs on the descent of man.
Report trends and shifts in strengths of movements but don't commit and don't vote. He's Switzerland with less wealth.  Anyway, back to rims...

I'm guessing the guy that drew that one up drives a Mustang.
It *is* pretty though.

Seems like several other cars have stolen the Aston's famous front end.
May be gettin' old, but I can't see anything but trouble coming from about 400 or so of that HP. |

If that's an Aston, I'm guessing it's significantly more than 400hp.
Wonderin' if'n it's a Mustang w/a Aston-ish ass on it?

It says 848 horsepower, all carbon fiber, no mustang parts.
Remember James Bond's DB5 that came out in 1963, and the movie in '64? Then the Vantage in I think mid-70s.

I think I misunderstood DJ's second sentence.

It confused me too, 400 cars of 850 hp or cars with 400 hp?
Here's a video of that Aston...

Ford and the god-awful Toyota among others rip off Aston Martin's classic grill treatment.
A great number of drivers would most likely crash and burn the first time they romped on 848 horses. It happened often when the 427 Cobras came out. I was just saying 400 might be all one needs. Astons have been one of my favorite autos for 60 years or so. My memories are of Stirling Moss, Roy Salvatori, Jim Clark and Carroll Shelby racing them at various California race tracks in the 50's and 60's. |

Witness the grille of the Ford Fusion from the last few years; compare it to the DB5 shown in xoB's post.

Your car or truck came with a pretty decent stereo radio, they all do for he last 30 years or so. That wasn't always the case some of us went to great lengths to leave DNA samples on every sharp edge and screw point under the dash, in door panels, under the package shelf, etc. Some of us (well me
 ) even drilled though a brake line. Before 8-tracks, cassettes, and discs there were records and radio.Ali looks like a little old man who can hardly see over the steering wheel. He's doing some heavy slouching to pose that picture.

The guy on the video, BTW, is one of the reasons the mute button was invented.

I ain't drivin' no LITE truck.
 We've got factory frame welds on a '68 Dodge Charger discovered during restoration... And somebody's Frankenstein from three panel trucks... And a beautiful convertible custom built in a Massachusetts chicken coop...
