Dappered Classics – The most stylish and testosterone fueled scene in recent movie history

James Bond Quantum of Solace Car Chase

This car even looks amazing destroyed. The Suit looks incredible even though it’s filthy. I think something can be taken from this, even though the scene was never intended to make you think much past: “That was sweet…”

Some 007 die-hards and luxury car freaks have criticized the writers for having Daniel Craig destroy two Aston Martins in his first two bond movies. I say more power to the writer and the character.

What’s more annoying and disappointing than a guy who has a great suit but continuously frets about getting a spot on it? Or the guy who obviously loves his nice car, but spends three hours every Saturday washing and waxing it by hand? Don’t hesitate to have some fun in what you’ve worked hard to get. And don’t spend too much time or money making sure whatever it is you’ve got is spotless, washed and waxed, and overprotected.

Because if you don’t use it, it’s useless. So go ahead. Get that car shot up and the suit torn to pieces in the process.

Or something along those lines.
