It seems that Donald Trump has had enough of all the pampering delights that his vintage and luxurious personal plane has to offer and hence in typical Trump style called it up on the runway and said ‘You’re fired’. Well, maybe not, but he must have either decided to move n to something better or something more modern or has been feeling the pinch of the times as his 1968 vintage plane, originally operated by American Airlines, is now up for grabs. Up for sale the plane still sports the giant 30-foot Trump log on the side and a‘t’ on the tail. Complete with soft beige leather armchairs around a conference table, special dining area, a master bedroom and various other delights, this specially modified extravagance on wings is re-designed to carry 24-passengers.

Having logged a total of 41,833 hours with 29,664 total landings, it seems that Trump is finally done with the 1968 model. Though only the coming days will tell why he actually let go of the plane, it is most likely that Trump has made a new acquisition and that will soon be revealed to the world. Tough we are still wondering if Trump will redo the paint job and sell this one or should the buyer pay for a new paint job that gets rid of the logo!

It seems that Her Majesty’s best secret agent and a wrecked piece of Aston Martin DBS can still beat the price tag of many cars in the world today with ease. You can understand when someone wants to buy an Aston Martin that was used in a James Bond flick and then was in put up for action when still in considerably good shape. You can even understand someone buying a piece of wreckage of Titanic by shelling out a whole lot. But to buy a completely wrecked Aston Martin that was used in the most recent 007 flick starring Daniel Craig just shows the incredible brand value that Bond… James Bond carries with him!

A brand new Aston Martin DBS would cost you $ 223,000 and MGM thought that they lost all that money to Italian waters as their technician plunged along with the car into Lake Garda in Italy. The technician escaped with minor injuries, but the car ended up being a complete wreck. Yet, this is still an Aston Martin and it was driven by Bond himself. So MGM decided to cut the losses and when Craig himself auctioned the car away, it fetched them good $ 350,000. Yes, they not only cut losses, but made a profit out of it!

The moral of the story is simple kids. Every time you crash a car, just call up Bond and ask him to auction it off as his own. You can then split the spoils with him. There you go, what we just gave you is a priceless idea. Moreover, when he retires, Bond can get the job of an excellent used cars salesman… he seems pretty good at that!
