Alfa drivers of I-5, where were you?
Last week Scuderia Non Originale's world headquarters moved from Santa Clara, California, to Sequim, Washington. From Tuesday, Feb 7 through Thursday the 9th, this rig was slowly working its way 940 miles north, mostly up I-5. We were traveling at, or not much above, the 55 mph trailer speed limit. Along the way the entire world passed us.
The only Alfa I saw the entire trip was about two blocks from my (former) house, as we began our trip. It was the grey GTV6 that swooped past me, then turned right onto Reed St.
I'm sorry to report that sports car lovers were all somewhere else during our journey. We saw a random Miata and Porsche, but nothing of interest.
Got to brag on the Jeep, though. Its diesel engine made 20 mpg while hauling two heavier than air adults, a ton of stuff, and car with trailer. And yes, we did roll the car back a bit before leaving, to take some weight off the tongue.
