Here is a Video of Adam Carolla giving us a walk and talk around of his Chip Foose modified 2004 Aston Martin racing green with Oxblood Red leather interior. Vinay and I actually bumped into Adam (photo below) at the Portola Hotel & Spa where the RM Auction was held (and heard him on the outdoor Russo & Steele Auto auction loudspeaker after he bought a 1967 Ferrari for over $300k). We even shared an elevator ride to our floor with DuPont Registry founder Thomas L. duPont.
