Hmm, I think the best way to own an Alfa would be to find one with an excellent body but doesn't run at all. That way its really cheap and use it as a lawn ornament. That way you get the best aspect of the Alfa which is looking at it...without the hassles of running it as a car.

lol....... yeah.... except, you know... an S13, S14, S15, FD RX7, AP1/AP2 S2000.... all over a decade old and all easily comparable (arguably, much more than comparable)

... or almost any 60's, 70's, or 80's Porsche, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Ferrari... because they couldn't possibly have anything to offer in driving experience over a modern car like the twins?

The primary reason I bought a twin is because it *does* handle just like my Alfa used to.

and: NEW CAR! :happydance:
