Travis, I would MUCH rather buy a 164 that's gonna be crushed otherwise to drive in the snow than a Saab story. Same basic platform, but a hellofa lot more soul !! Mind you, I respect Saabs, many miles in 900's, but ANY Alfa has more,,,, you all know what I mean,,,

Brad knows that I love an Alfa in the snow, as well as dry pavement, but I do NOT advocate using a super clean Alfa for it. There are MANY good, drivable Alfas with pre-existing rust to use!! I mean, geez, spray a little oil on the rusty parts and just drive it! A good one SHOULD be preserved, but why not drive a rusty one in bad weather and enjoy it, rather than "part it out"..... [most of which is wasted, as a rule,,]

43 Alfas at the moment [ I think], I'll be able to tell better when the snow melts
