WOW! while my 1st car was a 70 GTO convert (paid $900.00 for it in 75 - got 6 miles to the gallon on the highway), the next 2 were Alfas, a 72 Berlina and a 74 spyder, loved those cars when they worked, hated them when they didn't - which was about half the time. If anyone of you had an early 70's alfa, don't you miss; the smell of the 5w-50 oil, carrying a couple sets of spark plugs - becasuse you knew that after 3,000 miles you had to replace them, or the ride - wow what a ride - stiff as a steel I beam; turning the key and wondering - if its going to start; and yes I still miss all that! the Crossfire is the closest car I have had in bring back those memories! perhaps thats why after 3 years with the Crossfire I still just go out a drive.

could never bring myself to buy a BMW -
