Decided to sell it. Listing tonight.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I'm guessing his body so he can pay for more car parts.

Or how about an aging 2009 GTI coming around to 270,000 kms with the majority of its original parts. Talk about a ticking time bomb. Even comes with a +1 tune that makes downshifting two cogs to pass in the rain lots of fun as you scramble for grip.

Replacing with either a cheap reliable car, or something else stupid.

I like the suggestions. I would not be opposed to another Saab. :rofl2:

Apparently I am really wanting to punish myself, I am shopping Fiat 500 Abarths. 40kms under $10k. I am tempted.  :P

I went into MB today to look at a C43 wagon for fun because I had a meeting close by.

Ended up running full numbers, etc. Fuuuuuuuuuck should not have done that. It's really nice.  ::)

Only slight disappointment is they're discontinuing the green now for 2020. Still, blue on brown leather with brown ash wood interior......ooooooh baby.

Also Pfaff Kitchener have a C43 wagon demo with 18,000 km in the bright blue that just hit their lot if anyone's interested.

So, is this what's replacing the MDX?  Or was that something else?

I love everything about that Lancia except the price.

How about a SUV since he loves those?

Took the afternoon off and mounted the winters on the GS-350.  Tick that one off.

I had a buddy with one of these a long time ago.  You need to be a special kind of person to daily an Iltis.
