Heh... I see a spider about every six weeks or so on my daily work commute from/to Arlington - Herndon. I'd say almost all of them are S3s. Most are basket cases on or near their last owner.

Ironically, someone in my development owned a dark green S4. Parked it out on the street, even. I'd assume the same owner had the Lancia and the 164 parked next to it. The two sedans disappeared many years ago, and the S4 disappeared a year or two ago.

Alfa only sold a few hundred S4 spiders in the US, so there can't be too many in N. VA. That said, there definitely seems to be a stronger presence here than, say, in Arkansas, even though Arkansas had an Alfa dealership for thirty years.
