The Giulia program chief engineer previously developed the 458 Speciale. He was given the opportunity to hand-pick his dream team. He selected lots of Ferrari and Maserati guys, and the Alfa people are seriously talented too.

IMO the right kind of stupid. As opposed to a lifted minivan being a symbol for the rich.

AMEN BROTHER! ::fistbump::

I’m really torn as who to hate more here: The idiot neighbors who are overacting with thier bullshit stories about “trembling” and won’t leave the guy with the trailer alone.
