Jony has had the Aston Martin for a while now hasn't he?

He has excellent taste, it's a beautiful car. The guard makes sense. It would be painful seeing something happen to it.

So does the guard ride with Jony and then gets out.

And I don't think that traffic cone will fit in the trunk.

Not an ugly car; but I would still prefer a SL. Can't effort any of those though.

That's a German car though.

This one, like Ive himself, is British.

(Also I want one of those myself, but alas unless I either get extremely lucky some day or don't spend a single penny for the next 7 or so years I can probably never afford it.)

An Aston is so much more than a Merc. It's not about specs. It's about the feel a car will give you.

Ive show his class by wanting an Aston Martin.

Well, it figures that Ive drives an Aston. It explains a lot of things actually. Especially where iOS 6 maps got it's inspiration from. :D

Yea cause a hardware engineer has everything to do with the software app.

Hint: Ive is not a hardware engineer. He's an industrial designer. And ID people have everything to do with how hardware and software looks. And don't call them engineers. Most couldn't engineer a box if they tried.

Beautiful car, and he's earned it with all of his contributions to Apple over the years.

Um how would your know what Ive can or can't do? He described the design he practices as part fine art, part engineering.

As far as software, Apple's industrial designers have nothing to do with it. Ive himself said their focus is hardware.
