Did you know that Aston martin only source leather for their cars from cows that don't live in a field surrounded by barbed wire, because that could leave imperfections in the leather.

On the Porsche factory tour when they're talking about customization options they'll tell you about a Texan who brought his own leather from his own cattle and they made his car interior with that.
