Affleck's Aston affection
By Amy

An actor since childhood, Ben Affleck reached stardom at age 25
when he and friend Matt Damon won an Academy Award for best original screenplay
in 1997 for the movie "Good Will Hunting." Since then, Affleck has
appeared in more than 20 films, including staring roles in "Shakespeare
in Love" and "Pearl Harbor." He has a penchant for beautiful
things, like former girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow, current girlfriend Jennifer
Lopez and the Aston Martin DB7.
You may never sell your screenplay or meet Paltrow or Lopez. That
doesn't mean you can't enjoy the luxury of the DB7.
Standard features include a V12 cylinder configuration, leather
upholstery, heated driver seats, 6-speed manual transmission, climate control,
alloy wheels, wood and leather trim and an AM/FM cassette player with a 6-CD
stereo. The options range from $120 for an umbrella holder to $5,030 for a Touchtronic
Automatic Transmission. Personalized door-sill plates are $265, a first aid
kit is $120 and luggage made to match the interior is $3,820. Also optional
for $120 is a fire extinguisher -- but if you feel the need to drive your car
until it is in flames, public transportation might be a better option.
