    I wonder where in Dirty Jersey the new owner lives? I may have to drive by and see if I can sneak a peak of his new alfa.

    So Alfa selling less then two hundred cars though another dealer chain counts as officially being back? What ever.

    Only this could happen the day I jest about it in another thread... Third page of thread below; posted just after 9:00am on 11-13.

    Wait, what?

    As for Alfa Romeo, I'll believe it when I see a road test in one of the major rags (C&D or *gag* Motor Trend).

    He's the insanely rich old guy whose Enzo just wasn't bitchin' enough, so he commissioned Pininfarina to give it a custom body.

    You're able to buy a brand new Alfa in the US. What the hell more do you want?

    You're like the bookies who are refusing to pay out on Obama's election win on the basis that it's very likely he'll be assassinated before inauguration.

    I thought they were sold out? So, technically, you can't buy a brand new Alfa in the US unless, well, you already bought one.

    There's something rather disgusting about that image, considering it's just a good looking chick, some mustard, and a hot dog...

    The guy on the right isn't wearing a suit. Double breasted sport coat with Dockers that don't match.

    How did I miss that the first time? Maybe I subconsciously observed it and that is what grossed me out.
