MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine spoke to Motortrend.com about his collection of cars,
which includes a 2006 Aston Martin Vanquish S, a 2006 Bentley Continental GT, a 2006 Mercedes CLS500 and a 2010 Range Rover.
I'm not going to lie - I was a little disappointed that there wasn't one classic car on the list, but the cars he owns are still pretty cool.
Mustaine, who used to work as a full-time mechanic in Huntington Beach, CA in his pre-metallica days told MotorTrend about his Aston Martin: "I like the fact that I've got James Bond's car and he doesn't have my guitars, to be cheeky. But honestly, I think it's a really sexy car, it's got a lot of muscle, it's really sleek, the interior is really comfortable."
He also added that: "The only thing I don't like about it (Aston Martin) is it has so much horsepower that if you don't know how to properly drive a car like that, you just end up spinning your wheels everywhere you go."
Regarding his Bentley, Mustaine said: "It's like you're driving an aircraft carrier. It just feels big, really big, like when you see the cartoons and these guys who are getting these cares that are 30 feet long, that's how it feels to me."
He continued to say that: "You ever hear of the saying 'happy wife, happy life'? It's my wife's car. We've got a fleet of these cars; we share…I drive it more than she does, but que sera sera, right?"
- Now if only I could find a man that would buy me a collection of classic cars -
Mustaine also talked about the time he worked as a mechanic, saying "I went from being somebody who pumped gas, which was the inspiration for one of the first songs I ever wrote, 'The Mechanix', which is on our very first record,"…. "It was also recorded by my previous band Metallica, as the song called 'The Four Horsemen'. Same song, different lyrics, just a teeny little bit."
For those that don't know what the cars look like, here's pictures of similar ones.
