That is sooo wrong!

Aren't the wheels and tires for an Aston Martin like about $10K?

I didn't even see that!

You do have to admit, there is a HUGE correlation between Astons and 007...

I just wish it isn't a five-foot tall wannabe Secret Agent balding guy in the peak of a mid-life-crisis.

Is that about a 55/45% front to rear weight balance?

Yeah, I’m impressed they left it on only 2 blocks. Here in Detroit they use 4.

Its an Aston Martin bro, even when you jack the wheels you gotta do it in style.

I am surprised they did not take the lights like they do off Porsches for the bulbs, and apparently there are thieves who know how to do that with style, too.
