Consumer Reports has one. Apparently it has spent a lot of time at the dealer getting repaired. Which will surprise no one.

Let’s be straight, a gearhead man is not buying a car called Giulia pronounced Julia and a non-gearhead woman is likely not buying an Alfa as it costs as much as BMW/MB/Lexus/Audi but she’s never heard of it, so that leaves gearhead woman and as recently pointed out by the sharp sarcasm of our dear Alanis King this is…

No one wants an overpriced, horridly unreliable Italian sedan?

Yes he was an interesting fellow, he’d make his way down to the old steak house where they knew him by name every Sunday for an early dinner in that benz for near 50 years straight. If I recall correctly it was his hip giving out that caused him to give up driving the benz. At one point after he passed I made a…

That is damn impressive, holy crap. And picturing that four-speed column shift totally encapsulates the story. I’ve driven a 220s with that transmission, and the idea that people used to drive those cars regularly with such cool and complex shifting methods was thrilling. That must have been an incredible story to be…

The Montreal is far too brutish for many. Something small, light and affordable has merits all its own.

Alfasud, more like Alfadud, so many better alfas

My uncle’s father had a 50s benz 200 series that he drove up till he couldn’t drive it any longer in the late 90s a few years before he passed, I believe it had well north of 500k miles if not close to 750k miles last I heard. Pristine British racing green over tan interior with a inline 6 and a four on the tree, he…

Left this one outside yesterday.

When their customer base turned into the kind of people who would opt to purchase a lighted front emblem as a factory option, I think they realized they no longer had to put much effort into engineering.

Moving cars with lease deals to people that can’t afford the first maintenance visit, that’s what.

It’s a frankenstein.... But it’s a frankenstein in a three piece suit with a heart of gold. I dare say this monster is looking rather dashing. Another NP before logic and sense enter the picture.

A lot of people who crash their dad’s car come close to dying once during the crash and then at least once when their dad finds out. Don’t sell this guy’s magnanimous dad short!

Could we get an edit on that headline and remove the word “captured”? She was a young girl, not an escaped convict or an animal that needed to be picked up somewhere. She was not captured. She was abducted. She was kidnapped and murdered.

White walls were very common on vehicles of that genre, including Corvettes, Jag’s, etc.

I went on a several hours tangent watching Silicon valley clips. It was fun.

Back when I was a sophomore in college, I had just bought myself a nice, practical, reliable Golf. I then realized I could buy a [shitty condition] Honda S2000, my affordable dream car, for about the same money. Dad helped me “get serious” about buying one so that he could demonstrate why it would be a bad decision to…

Oh I have one! He got in and drove away and I haven’t seen him in 20 years.

This is it.
