Dude... I looked at your avatar a few times in other posts and I was thinking to myself "WTF?" then I saw this... Man, I felt really bad for you. Then I read you got a new car and I laughed my ass off.

Wonder what became of my car.

I know that someone from the Dimmit bodyshop bought it, then sold it.

I think the Aston was trying to impersonate KITT from Knight Rider, but forgot to fully lower the ramps

Did somebody mention KITT?

Did you know that you could buy KITT right now?

Looks like the end of the truck's ramp simply snapped off, and down the car came.

Could this be a publicity stunt that some advertising guy dreamed up after seeing the number of views of Qball's car in car forums all over the world?

Qball found your car on autotrader. It has a clean carfax to boot. Only $25K and 5500 miles. I'm glad I've been doing my research here before buying!
