    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                    That was probably something that was done pretty close to in house by ford, seeing as ford "owns" Austin, cause who in there right mind would spend that kinda money unless it was some REALLY rich guy and was making it for something like SEMA, but usually SEMA cars aren't driven and obviously that one is, and has a racing intrument cluster. There are STUPID amounts of time not to mention wiring in that car and i wonder what kind of trasmission they used, because the Astin Martin Vanquish came with was is known as a "flappy paddle" (paddles on the backside of the steering wheel) trasmission and i do not see anything on the back of the steering wheel. So more then likely it was done almost in house (meaning done by a higher up at ford) With as much time and money they have into that car they could have probably figure out a budget plan for California. Either that or been able to buy ever man woman, boy and girl in the whole world a nacho lol
