No, Bond needs and Aston and only an Aston.

The Ford Fusion in Casino Royal is only fogiven due to the DB5 appearing

As @Tcoat mentioned, that list of "must haves" is hilarious. I've zero inclination to buy my own place until I settle on what I'm actually going to do for a career long term. The plan was to move in with her to help her, and make sure that she doesn't have to live in a shitty area. I wouldn't be paying anywhere close to even 50% of the rent, but the extra couple of bucks can be the difference between "never walk anywhere, at any time, alone" and "hey honey, someone looked at my ass while I was walking home, what a horribly terrible inconvenience".

My actual must haves are:
A decent kitchen
2 parking spaces (indoor, outdoor, whatever. Having a car and a work truck is inconvenient, first world problems, am I right?)
A big enough bedroom so that we can both bring our 2 or 3 dressers each and a big enough closet so that we both have use of it.
A not tiny bathroom

being closer to work isn't a huge factor for me. When I'm not on the road (March-ish to start of December is my work season) I'm not working. I'm sitting at home, doing fuck all and getting paid. But for the odd week or two that I'm working in the office, less of a commute is good, and I can feel less bad about taking my car. Also have zero interest in making a "man-cave" and a "she-cave". Instead of doing that, I could, I don't know, maybe spend time with her? Since I'm only home 4 days of the month most of the year. And if I really get sick of her, my golf game could use some work.

Anyhow, this entire thing may end up not happening now. Her parents aren't exactly fond of this idea, since they're worried that I'll be a distraction to her studies, and could leave her high and dry with a higher rent if things end up crashing and burning. And since I like the fact that I've finally got a girlfriend who's parents actually enjoy me being around (many long stories, for another time) I would rather not step on their toes. Instead, I can just spend short terms at her place when the winter comes along and see how that goes instead.

Cool. For some odd reason I pegged you as a Physician or traveling IT Tech (almost got it), in your mid to late 30's. Whatever your age, asking people online is probably not a good idea, but not asking anyone is worse. Here, you have a lot of people with differing opinions who have been where you are, and I, for one, have learned that moving in with a female can be a good thing, and can be a bad thing - if they own the place. You could probably sleep under a tree though, and feel at home, so if she (or her parents) ever decide it's time for you to go, you're not out anything for trying. What I'm thinking though, when you're there, she'll want to do a million things in 24 hours.

Wrong, Sunbeam Alpine, the true first Bond car as seen in Dr. No

Then you'll probably want to miss the next 007. It's rumored Sean is the next Bond. Then, more than just me and she will go and see it.

But, you'd have to agree, he still... could.
He's definitely the best Bond.

Brosnan = best bond for 1 reason

Sean is practically in a wheel chair. Not a good Bond

I look at it this way when people talk about James Bond, Connery is who I imagine. And yes he could still be Bond and be believeable imo haha

But Craig cemented his legacy as the best as long as he doesnt due anything dumb and try to come back. Casino Royal and Skyfall were masterpieces. Spectre was a good transition away from Craig to the Bond motifs and style we are more accustom
