the new car is awesome!
had a great trip with lots of problems on the way there. the trip back was great however, 1477 miles covered in a little less than 24 hours, plus a couple of breaks.. so we averaged roughly 70mph. The car did much better on gas than even the highest estimates of 25mpg, it got 28!! I am not too crazy about the color but everything else is right. Leather 4 way adjustable seats are very comfortable, everything is power. Oh yeah, then there's the 3 liter 24 valve engine.. what can I say, 210hp and 198lbs of torque, 3rd gear from from 60-100mph is just intoxicating. All the while you can have the a/c and stereo on, the car doesnt miss a beat! Its a true alfa romeo at heart! I am not so sure I want to sell it but then again I can always buy another!!
oh and the sound!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
Plus we got to see a little of the East coast, Philidelphia, Baltimore, DC. I must do this more often!
