Lookee what I found. I saw it turning into a parking lot and had a whip a U-turn to go back to check it out. Looks better in person than it does in pictures. first one I've seen on the road.

Grey or Blue.

Black hides the curves a bit too much.

In the same vein, try pricing out Marchesini wheels for a motorcycle if you want to play that game...

Now that is sexy...

I want those for my bike

people are fucking stupid :

If it was me, I would stand there and watch her pour it into her blender every morning. I'm not having any surprise kids that way.

I would definitely drive one of those.

haven't had a single pimple in 3 years, then all of the sudden last week left side of cheek broke out with crazy acne...

I'm thinking it has to do with stress from various exams I'm going through for work, since the breakout started about 2 days prior to the first exam...

diet has been great and consistent for years now, nothing in diet changed, haven't changed anything at all really since the last couple of years except my razor which I replaced the blade on about 3 days after breakout started (with identical blade, just an new one lol)

Did you have a long phone call recently? A dirty cell phone can do that.

Try toothpaste on it at night.

While you're at it, you might wanna clean your phone with some rubbing alcohol or something. Lol.

Clean sheets and pillowcases
Clean razor or better yet postpone shaving a day or two.
Hot compress the area with a clean washcloth - wet and wring out as it cools, 5-10 minutes.
Let your face air dry or blot dry with a towel. No rubbing.
No touching unless you're doing the above.
Let nature take its course, it's better at this than you are.

Excessive cleaning, drying, harsh cleansers, abrasion, etc only add to the irritation and make it worse in my experience.

Read an article in Car and Driver on the plane about it, was favored more than an M3, AMG, and ATS-V. Only quirk noted was trying to auto start and it threw a code so it drove in limp mode until they cleared the codes. Tried it again and same thing happened when went to get in and start it.

Overall though, performance def overtook the latters. Sharp ride.

It's insane what a set of wheels can do on a motorcycle (I'm sure to some degree on a bicycle as well) but I remember one test - same bike, same professional rider, same track, same day - stock wheels vs marchesini wheels and they were 6-8mph quicker in turns and shaved almost an entire minute off their lap time... That, is insanity... I don't think you can do that in a car - switching oem's for a set of volks... Almost an entire minute off the previous lap time...

You only have nut wedgies because your leg muscles are atrophied from only being used to walk into the gym to do upper body workouts. Once you de-atrophy them by doing some cycling, your legs will fill out the tights and relive pressure on your boys.

It's almost like the crazy power to weight ratio on bikes causes the drop in rotational mass to have exponential effects on performance. It's somewhat unfathomable.

I've heard it drives like a 4-door 458, but without the DCT. Hopefully that's the case.

A lot of reviewers criticized the interior build of the car. Can't say I agree with them. The one I checked out felt solid, inside and out. Electronics are my only worry, but it doesn't seem to have as many fancy toys as BMW, Audi, or Benz. But, what it has seems to be adequate. Infotainment was easy to use and had everything one needs.

Hopefully I can get a test drive in next week or so.

Performance Ive seen a few accreditations to a Ferrari platform, which is absolutely awesome. However, its an Alpha, electrical has always been an issue, so id expect to hear some huge elec issues soon after some hit the road mainstream.

I might be old fashioned but I dont care for a lot of the nicknacks. Yeah you can give me nav and a radio, but anything beyond takes away from what a car could be if that extra money was dumped into performance, which Alpha seems to have tried to do, but the platform of gadgets has never done well.

It will be interesting to see how it holds up as time goes on, but if I were spending that kind of money Id be hard oressed to say I wouldnt give one a chance. It hits every nail, its just a matter of the nails it completely misses.

Hopefully the hits out weigh the misses. Don't think I've ever been more excited for a car.

I'm with a guy right now who has a 2015 4c and he said he hasn't been back to the dealer for anything other than an oil change.

These days, companies seem to change faster than stigmas do.

Edit: After pressing him further, he said the rear hatch needs to be closed firmly. Otherwise a second attempt is needed.

It looks better in typical Alfa red , and it needs a drop ...
Thanks for the effort and for sharing
