Here now a distinctly pointless ramble through the Daniel Craig-era vehicles...

So in Casino Royale, Bond is an unsophisticated chowderhead whose idea of an elegant ride is a Ford... WhateverThisIs, rented from the Hertz desk at Nassau International
He wins a DB5 from Alex Dimitrios. We don't see it again but presumably he has it shipped back to the UK. So... is it personal property or does MI6 gets its grimy mitts on it?
When Bond arrives in Montenegro, MI6 has sent out a DBS - but their idea of weaponisation at this point is just to fill the glove compartment with guns and dope.
And airbags.
He gets *another* DBS for the Mr White school run, but there's no tricks up its sleeves yet and Bond gives it the same treatment.
Out on his arse for the rest of QOS, he's demoted to cabs, water taxis and riding shotgun
So then Skyfall... and what exactly is going on here? Bond says it's not a 'company car' but can it really be his if it's modded with guns and ejector seats and, what, MI6 didn't want it back after Bond 'died' ? why is left it in a Deptford underpass who is accountable--
Nevermind
In Spectre it's being reassembled because I guess they really need it or something I don't know seems like a lot of effort to me but I'm not the expert here no *you're* thinking about this too much--
"I said bring it back in one piece, not bring back one piece..."

But... when did you say that? When Bond was driving to Scotland I guess? Or did you give it to Bond after he nabbed Silva but then, what, he just stuck it in a garage I'm gonna fukin fight all of you--
So anyway he steals the DB10 and by now MI6 is finally getting on with putting gadgets in their rides (and Spotify playlists) even though Bond quickly redirects it to the nearest drink in what is now clearly a pathological disorder to destroy anything with wheels-
Come the end, the DB5 is back together with the same reg and Bond seemingly out of the job but Q still lets him drive off with the thing full of kill-tech I mean is he is he actually done or just going to Sainsbury's or do they genuinely consider it Bond's car fucksake-
The "now with miniguns" DB5 is back in No Time To Die but at least it can't get any more complicated...
