How about the time my garage burned down and my neighbors complained that I had car parts in my driveway and sent a guy out from the city of Dearborn...weeks after they watched the garage burn down. I had the garage mess cleared out so fast (by hand...) thst I had to pay my demo permit (fucked up paying that for a

“Even though you don’t. Even though you don’t"

The title is misleading since it’s not a cover-up, they just don’t run an EPA fuel economy test on trucks that aren’t required to be tested. Really, not what cover-up means. They are aware of BSFC and use it as a metric when testing rings/oils/anything with a fuel consumption influence. EPA testing the configurations

Should’ve stopped by the Italian Happening next door!

Can confirm that ABC is expensive. Have heard that it's better on the 221s, but just sold a buddy's S600 after weighing the time and cost involved in pulling the engine to replace a cracked ABC line myself. But then you read the early reviews of ABC and it seems so nice...

I really disagree with the “great and terrible in equal measure” concept. Have an intern check out the AlfaBB at some point - Alfa nuts are crazy about making their cars run perfectly and as designed. We enjoy how they drive because they’re performance vehicles.

I think on a daily-driven car it might make a bit more sense to swap out the all seasons for Dunlop Direzzas if you run almost every weekend and then drive to work during the week (which I'd have to imagine is the case for many Fiesta ST

Maybe you spoke too soon? :)

Can you make this guy write more often? Nice piece

Reason I don't like mysteries on Twitter: I don't like being twittelated

Unless you flew in to Aspen. In which case that sounds very affluent of you.

Go to Boulder on your way to the airport and visit Centerline International Alfa Romeo. And really, the Fiesta ST is in danger of being replaced by this or a Giulia (if either come in a manual...). I'm not in danger of growing up - any chance this thing is fun?
