My Alfa wasn't a piece of crap. The people who always attended to Alpha
R.'s warranty were in the same dealership as Jaguar in California and
something else - Mercedes? - in Washington State. It was nice to not have
your car attended by some guy that looked and acted like a total idiot. It
was not until we moved to Hawaii that it fell under the auspices of the Ford
dealership for warranty. Then when we came to Virginia, we had no choice
but to take it to another 'one size fits all' repair shop near Washington,
D.C.

I sold the car to a kid from PA. It was his graduation present. I was
thrilled to see that someone nice got the car. The car served me well and
was a lot of fun to drive.
