My 164 is a daily driver Alfa

For me, the 164 is the only Alfa that I would consider for a daily driver. My profession is real estate, with an emphasis on cars and oversized garages, so it is natural that I drive something different than other Realtors in my area.

While other Realtors are driving M-B, BMW, and Lexus, I pull into a client's driveway with the Alfa and immediately we start talking about cars. For all the marketing dollars I could spend on promotions, the money spent on my car has been the most productive.

For those who know that the car is 17 years old, they recognize that I am driving a car because I want to drive it, not because of the badge.

For those who don't recognize it or it's age, it is the perfect icebreaker to talking about a mutual passion for cars and the garages where they reside.

And when I'm not working, I'll gladly take it on the track for either our Spring or Fall Track Day events, just to show others that a heavy FWD car can be thrown into the corners and come out successfully!
