One sentence later: “It’s more pure in purpose than the hot hatches and more pragmatic than the convertibles, though it is small.” Which is true. At the end of the day, this is RWD and those are not.

We brake for shooting brakes!

Mine’s nothing special. It’s a 1982 GTV6. This is her.

I own two horrible Alfa’s: a 1989 Milano Verde and a 1982 Spider Veloce. I’ll keep perpetuating the myth about how unreliable and finicky these cars are so you still have a chance to buy a Milano on the cheap. You can thank me later... they are criminally underrated.

Most sorrily, I never owned an Alfa because in this life I always was quite poor, but my first boss Ennio (almost a brother to me) was very proud of his Alfa 33 1.7 and once (while we were going to a business meeting) he PUSHED HARD the gas and told me: “You must feel this! ...Alfas are the only family cars that glue…

Happy Friday, and remember: if it ain’t a Type R, it ain’t a tight car.

Dear Subaru,

How long till someone applies this build to the horse sculpture at the Denver airport?

His future is really up the air. . .

Weekend mode: engage.

I am not above temptation. I too sometimes think of throwing it all away for Volkswagen Corrado ownership.
