It's the Alfa Romeo part that scares them away !

No way Alfa Romeo's are beautiful cars (I'ved had a 156 and most recently the GT). Not enough of them over here -- plus you get to be real good pals with all the mechanics in your area

Back in 1994, I purchased one of the last of the 190 commemorative spiders. I'm lucky that I'm not in prison for having ax murdered everyone at Alfa Romeo North America.

No one mistook my car for a Ferrari, but in the past 17 months of ownership, I have had at least 5 people ask me if it was a 911 Turbo, including a mechanic.

Some people don't realize Porsche makes other cars besides the 911 Turbo.

Good for you. When I sold my Alfa, after the new owner drove away I changed my phone number and painted my house a different color .

Yeah, I could see how people mistake a Boxster for a Ferrari , because of the horse , that's why I put a "Maui turtle" on the rear bumper - that and it
hides a scratch.

I have a question 'bout your red horse (308?). I notice Ferrari doesn't incorporate a rear spoiler like others do. Are they not worried about planting the rear tires at high speeds? I find it a major safety factor.

The 308 doesn't go fast enough to need a spoiler .

Remember that the 308 GTS was sold from 78-84 when aero downforce effects were often ignored. Ask Dan Gurney about the Porsche 917. He said it was more like flying than driving.
