Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Maybe it's just me but for some reason it feels too slick. Comments so far just feels fake as well. Hopefully for the backers it's not just marketing BS

They have priced this too high in my opinion...banking too much on the value people will place on having a piece of a “genuine aston martin” on their wrist. Its a stock Miyota with no finishing and an awkward date window for €600.
