That long body line that's uninterrupted front to back with the top down/off looks good...uninterrupted. Nice and clean.

So clean with the yellow and nice pics it always reminds of a Hot Wheels car... Lol

Nope...
I took a few, but not much, I was tired and honestly, I'm kinda over taking a million diy pics and making threads.
Sometimes I take pictures and upload and never even post.

I bet!
Pretty good J. No issues yet and has 60k miles on it now. Doesn't worth to trade it in for something else really and unlike CA, this car is still rare here, so I like that too.
I do want more power in my life, such as 4 more cylinders, but v8 is something I should stay away from, so no no no.
But, I am waiting for the new Alfa Giulia, will get it and keep the BRZ too. That is the plan.

^ That one? I wish dude. Too expensive and rare even in Europe.
I am talking about the new one. ///M and AMG killer, Quadrifoglio.

No prices out yet, but I am guessing base model Giulia will be around 40k and Giulia Quadrifoglio should sit around 70-80k
I am fine with Guilia Ti model which is 2.0T base mode, but I heard we might only get auto for the base model. I just hope that is not correct.
Ti is the like the A-Spec model or M-Package model of Alfa. Bumpers and etc that looks close to Giulia Quadrofoglio. So, all I want it the Ti model with stick shift.

Alfa started the Ti model with 159 model, after many 156 users dealt with swamping bumpers of 156 GTA to their base 156.
My dad was about to do that too back then haha.

Will see. True though, unless it's Quadrifoglio with 500horses, which base isn't.

Oh yeah, was gonna ask that. Visiting family? Where are the pictures?

I was being sarcastic, Jon...the V wagon is auto too...and although I sometimes wish it was manual, there are a LOT of times where I'm very happy it's not.
