James Bond: “Standard operating procedure. Boys with toys.”
Today’s post marks the beginning of a segment near & dear to… the outermost parts of my imagination.
I grew up with Hot Wheels & racing games, they’ve been around me as long as I can remember…
*cue backstory:
(show child w/ toy, show child growing, show teen with controller, Virtual crash! virtual screams!!, show virtual sad story… cut to real driver’s license, montage real speeding tickets -and end scene.
thank you.
Long-story, short: I like automobiles;
particularly, well designed automobiles.
Huntsville is home to a plethora of well kept, well designed automobiles; much more than I’ve ever seen in one place (minus car shows).
This segment is my way of sharing a bit of Huntsville’s car culture with the world.
Not every post will be a collective. Not every car will be an Aston Martin, you never know what we’ll pass by…
neither do we for that matter.

&
that’s
life.
Here’s to enjoying the ride.

The Aston Martin brand has been special to me since I first learned about the cool guy w/ the weaponry in his car. This is the only brand under which I admire every make and model. Hence, I show a collective of models here (minus the Vantage I have on GT5).
Most often, AOTM will highlight one model at a time.
-for those wondering:
Yes, I still collect Hot Wheels. Stay with me here…
The diecast DBS and the ONE-77 were acquired a few months after I snapped pix of the DB9.
Special thanks to Beck at the Speakerbox for the opportunity, I may have more info on them later.
My first time seeing an Aston Martin in person was in Orlando, FL back in 2009 -where I met a brother known as Theodore Belafonte but that’s a story of its own…
I hope you enjoy this segment,
it’s fun,
& there’s much more coming-
I still owe some people a few pix of a certain Chevy Nova…
-peace til next week.

Also, Sunn’s b’day just passed, watch the “Showtime” video a few times as a salute to him- he directed this one.
Aston Martin is, and always will be, a beautiful piece of art. That timeless grill design.
Also, I’ve noticed something interesting in the new design for the Ford Fusion…
Uno, Dos, Tres
*strokes chin*
You get all of today’s cool points for the Fusion comparisons. Those shots show a beautiful frame. I tip my hat for the design of the Fusion over the years, I’ve never seen one that made me question the designers. I can’t say that for everything from the Ford brand… but the Fusion is usually nicely sculpted.
