Hines Ward Kicks His Aston Martin DBS And His S550 To The Curb

Looks like former NFL wide receiver, Hines Ward is doing a little spring cleaning. Ward recently put his house up for sale and now he’s getting rid of his 2009 Aston Martin DBS. Check out the full eBay listing and more photos here

**Update** (thanks to Andrew) Hines is also selling his white Mercedes-Benz S550 (find photo below). We also heard that he recently sold his house so maybe he’s leaving the country? So basically you can just live like Hines and pick up his house, his DBS and his S550. Who knows what else he’s selling…

Shout out to Ken for the tip!

The inside will be black along with carbon components and the exact same extreme black complete applied in certain areas for the constant flow to look at.

Certainly it will have referrals to the name of this five of a kind vehicle in the stitch work.

The wing type doors whenever opened will give the effect that will this kind of sleek and sophisticated black bird is preparing for takeoff at high speeds for a good visual whenever observing the outlines and curves that shape the body.

Performance
