Crowdsourcing my new car...

Yeah, baby. 12 cylinders, over 800 horsepower... do you think I'll be able to cram clients into this "batmobile", manufacturered by luxury carmaker Aston Martin... currently only 24 of them made and offered for $2,300,000. I'm afraid to even wonder what the gas mileage will be.

At the moment, this little monster isn't even street-legal, strictly for race track useage, so it doesn't even come with air-conditioning or any sound system at all.

I figure all I need is $100.00 from 23,000 of each of my very bestest friends so that I can pick this up from my local Aston Martin dealership.

Whaddya think? huh? hello??? is this thing working???

You're gonna get about 7 to 8 mpg if you keep your foot off of it but the bright side is you can leave a little later for those cross town traffic appointments. Maybe we could send a dollar and you could lease it for a month?

Home is where the hearth is.

Jon - you can count on that.

Kevin - I figured it would be 7 gallons to the mile.

Alan - At a price of $2,300,000 and no air conditioning, I am not sure I would want this car. Sure it is pretty cool to look at, but no radio/music, I think I will have to pass.

Without AC and that price I would not want that. For the 2.3 million I can get every car I want and still have over a million left over!

Audi A8 - for business

Bentley Continaneal - for getting around

Lamborghini - because hey why not

Tesla - business/save the environment

Good morning Alan. I think you are crazy but ce la vie. Dreams are personal.

David - a Buick salesman once told my father the very same thing when he was purchasing a Riviera....

Troy - I know... and THAT's the problem with my purchasing this car... right?

Stefan - but now you have to build a bigger garage.

Jenna - there's CAR porn!??

Ed - in a New York minute!

Tammy - deal. If I get the car, I'll drive to Georgia and pick you up.... it'll take me about an hour an a half to get there.

Sheila - you are not the first person to accuse me of being crazy.

Jul 02, 2015 04:48 AM

Yes, there is car porn. It's on YouTube, Pinterest & Instagram. My husband is ADDICTED. Perhaps once you get hooked you can form a support group and share links. LOL!

Jul 06, 2015 01:21 PM

Jenna - now that's the kinda porn I can get on board with.
