This employee got the ultimate job perk: the keys to an Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider.
He works for a supercar and hypercar collector, who has some of the world’s rarest models in his garage.
The lucky employee was tasked with dropping the Valkyrie at a warehouse—surely counting as one of the most thrilling assignments of all time.

What kind of person hands over the keys to a Valkyrie Spider?
Supercar Ron is known for his flashy feats, such as destroying his new Cybertruck and driving a $4 million Pagani to Taco Bell.
He’s also the man who took the delivery of America’s first Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider.
His latest stunt is less show-stopping but incredibly thrilling.
Specifically for one man – his employee, Tace Anderson.
While Ron was away, he needed someone to drop his Valkyrie Spider at a warehouse and chose Anderson as the man for the job.
Anderson strapped himself into the six-part harness and set out onto the public road.
He shouted over the noise of the 6.5-litre Cosworth V12 roaring to life that he felt like Max Verstappen, who has one of these in his fleet.
In fact, the car is so loud that he and his passenger had to wear Bluetooth headsets playing music for the entire journey.
Behind the wheel of the ultimate hypercar
Most hypercar owners would be paranoid knowing someone else was taking their precious belongings for a spin, but Ron isn’t like most hypercar owners.
“Go on a drive, be safe, have fun,” Ron said.
Anderson shared that while he and his passenger were slightly squished, it’s a comfortable car to drive.
He would liken it to driving a Porsche 918 Spyder, like the one LeBron James owns.
Filling up with gas was less pleasant, as six gallons gets only about 30 miles of driving.
Not to mention the servicing costs, which can cost nearly half a million every year.
Luckily that cost will fall on his boss.
