The 4C is a sportscar, not a GT. It isn’t made for dining, infotainment, or running errands. It’s made for driving. However, there is a small trunk behind the engine. It’s guaranteed to keep takeout food toasty.

As they say, you can make a small fortune racing cars, but you have to start with a large fortune.

There’s never an alligator when you need one.

Crap. I meant to say it does NOT have the over complicated electronics of most other cars these days. Proofreading is my nemesis. One other think about the 4C, with the exception of the Porsche, it probably has the greatest chance of any on the list for price appreciation due to rarity and desirability.

If you have access to an Alfa dealer with a certified tech, prices are not bad for work done. They’re nowhere near as expensive as most of the others on the list. Also, the 4C has proven to be quite reliable. It does have the over complicated electronics of most cars these days. The most expensive work I’ve had done…

Don’t forget sovereignly immune.

I’ve got a 2017 Giulia TI with 52K miles on it. It’s been very reliable, especially compared to my last Volkswagen. And you’re right about them being a used car bargain. I bought mine with in 2019 with about 28K miles for a little more than half the sticker price. Great car. Also, it keeps my 4C company in the garage.

Brand new, 1989 Peugeot 405. The most unreliable piece of merde ever made.

How do you say “fuck around and find out” in Italian?

How about focusing on the uselessness of the police who were on the scene?

The Giulia and Stelvio are great vehicles and are actual Alfa Romeos. This is a corporate badge engineering effort.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Florida.

You forgot to mention that manual transmissions are also a theft deterrent.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say harsh language was employed by a number of the people involved.

It would not surprise me if his police union came to his defense.

I’ve had my manual, AWD 2006 Element EP since new. I have two other cars, a 2015 Alfa 4C and a 2017 Alfa Giulia TI. The Element is the most practical car ever made, it can do anything outside of extreme stuff like rock crawling or setting Nurburgring records. The 4C was the least practical car I could afford. I…

It wasn’t justified. It was commendable.

None.

For the life of me, I still can’t figure who Musk thinks is the target market for this thing. It’s not a pickup. It’s not an SUV. It looks like something I drew in 3rd about a millennia ago.

Actually, the MC20 itself is based on what was going to be an Alfa Romeo. It was probably going to be called an 8C even though it most likely would’ve had a V6. When Sergio died suddenly and corporate direction changed, the 8C got cancelled and Maserati claimed the work that had already been done. Kind of like Dodge…
