For perspective, the median home price sits at just around 100k less than the Aston Martin DBS that pulled into the Techflex garage this week. I’m on the plane to SEMA and can’t wait to see the the best custom builds from our friends all over the world. What a great way to get our blood pumping again with a beastly 12 cylinders under the hood, wrapped in a head turning, heartbreaker of a car. It feels right that a legendary piece of car royalty should stop by as the industry jumpstarts after a break since this time in 2019.

This English muscle car, with more than 700 horsepower, feels like a work or art, not only to stare at and to drive, but also to listen to. The teenage James Bond fan in me wished for just one switch for a smoke screen or an oil slick but I understand that those features are unnecessary when you simply have 2x the power of 90% of the cars on the road.

I hope everyone has the best week at SEMA. I also hope when I fall asleep in my airline seat that seems 2” smaller than before the pandemic that I dream about this car.
