Thanks guys!
I know hard to believe the year has passed so fast. I was surprised to see how well it handled the snow when I got caught out in it last winter. Had to drive 60 miles to get back to civilization with the blowing snow piling up the whole way. It was very stable and predictable with good traction.
I'm crossing my fingers on how long the engine will last as I figure that will be the first major thing to go. Then I'll have to decide, sell... Scrap... Rebuild... Or replace.

For now I'm also curious to see what second-year operating costs are going to be now that I've floated through most of the car maintenance-wise.

PS: I also love Alphas, and would like one in the stable someday!
