I bought a Sprint GT project before covid for 10k. I don’t think you’d get less than 15k for ANY 105 that moves under it’s own power right now. Mine luckily came with so many spare parts that I nearly paid for the car by selling them off.

The danger isn’t the ramps failing, it’s the car coming off of them. On ramps your car doesn’t have a direct load path to solid ground. Imagine building a house where you put springs between the sills and the foundation. When your car is on it’s suspension, it moves. That means it can move off the ramps. It’s not…

More likely than what? Motorcyclists (skilled ones) aren’t relying on you to see them. We see you. We see you on your cell phone. We see the dent in your left rear quarter panel. We see the front tire pivot while you check your blind spot. We see the gap several seconds before you notice it, and we make sure we aren’t…

“In a country that has hardly any motorcycles on the road, lane splitting and filtering really offers no broad public advantage”

These articles always bring out the “experts” on filtering. I truly don’t understand the impulse to have strong opinions on something you have zero experience in. Filtering is safer than not filtering, period. It’s not something the motorcycle world debates.

Anyone with real riding experience in a place that doesn’t outlaw lane-splitting knows it’s the safest way through traffic. The data backs it up, side collisions aren’t fatal to the degree that front and rear collisions are, not to mention that moving faster than traffic gives a motorcyclist a fighting chance to see…

They might be Interstellar fans?

In case the eyeroll doesn’t work, you’d better blow the bangs out of your eyes at the same time

I bought US-made jack stands and a Hein-W jack from a mechanic a decade ago, and even heavily used, they were twice the cost of what you can buy off the shelf. But the sting is long gone, and I never worry about dying under my car.

If 9-10 and 2-3 are obstructed in any way, it annoys me. I know it’s not a track car, but still. The “spoke” is way too fat where it meets the rim.

It’s in the “dead-zone”. Parts are easy to find when warranties exist, then impossible to find, then if it becomes a collector’s car they’ll be easy to find again.

Didn’t they just do a big reversal on that?

Parts don’t necessarily get more expensive as vehicles age. Depends on the vehicle. The tail light for the bed version of this truck is $25 today. Prices likely won’t outpace inflation for the F-150 in our lifetime. It’s been the best selling vehicle in the US since well before this specific truck was made. If Ford…

Don’t forget that the Ford Fusion was 2018's Fleet Car of the Year

I’m not talking about a specific car, I’m talking about what happens to any vehicle as you add weight. A sport crossover might have enough “grip” and enough brakes, but if you shave 1 pound off the car you get more of both. And no, your average sport crossover can’t outbrake your average performance car. That’s a…

See, I think that impression is inherited from other Italian marques. Most people have never owned an Alfa, so it lives on. You say they’re unreliable, even though your own experience contradicts it! I’ve owned both a 2002 & a 105 coupe, and the Nord mill (same as your Spyder) is just as reliable as the M10, imo. Much…

I’m convinced most people are terrified of cars, and they’re happier the more we abstract the experience. The heavier car may “feel” safer, but it’s a mirage. With each added pound your inputs mean less and less to the car, it will turn and stop and accelerate slower, your control slips away. To a confident driver,…

Well said

And the coupe looks exactly like a 105 series... It was bold to ape the designs AND the name

The Busso-powered Alfas I’ve been around have been dead reliable, did you have trouble keeping yours running?
