Now that we've completely hijacked the thread (sorry) : ( , I see that you've had some Alfas in the past. I had one of the last commemorative edition Spider Veloce's imported to the US (#121 of 190).

Nice. Spiders are definitely going up in price, believe it or not.

The GTV6 is still my favorite of all the cars I've had. A real head turner, mostly because of its rarity. Man did that car handle. I remember flying through the hills above Berkeley, listening to the wondrous growl of the V6. Only 160 hp, but enough to get you in trouble.

Only downside was the bad synchros, which most alfas have. I did get very good at heal and toe double clutching and could downshift in any gear at any rpm.

It had Campagnolo wheels, so I would say to my cycling buddies "Yeah, you have a Campy group on your bike, but I have Campy wheels on my car!"
Alas, I crashed it.

I had my Spider for less than a year, and sold it with only 2,200 miles on it . I couldn't take it any more ! The car was evil incarnate ! After the buyer drove away, I painted my house a different color and changed my phone number hoping to never see hide nor hair of it again !!!!!!! LOL !

Alfas were notorious for having tons of problems when new, but the design was really good and after the dealer worked out all of the bugs, the cars were actually pretty reliable.
