Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine spoke with Motortrend.com recently about his car collection.

"I like the fact that I've got James Bond's car and he doesn't have my guitars, to be cheeky," he says, with a laugh, referring to his Aston Martin. "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."

Mustaine was trying to decide among a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or the Aston Martin, which he rates a perfect 10. "It was more my style and the difference in the ride -- it was more comfortable to me," he says. "The only thing that I don't like about it 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."

 

 

When Mustaine was a teenager, before he joined Metallica, he worked as a mechanic. He had a falling out with his mom and found himself living on his own and scrambling for work. There was an opening at a gas station in Huntingon Beach Harbor for someone to pump gas. "I'm not like some of these people who are sitting around waiting for somebody else to take care of them. I got in the mix and I went and got a job," he says. "I have a sense of accomplishment when I did that and there was an opportunity to start working on the cars. There's a little gas station in a section there, it's really snooty, so it was a cool gig because nice cars came in all the time. 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."
