She might have been topless for all I know, as I only saw her face!

Grey Milano in Marin County, California
Spotted a Milano with sun-burned grey paint and a cracked windshield northbound on Hwy 101 just north of San Rafael, CA about 5:00 PM today. Naturally I was driving something else- my Nissan pickup, on my way home from a run to Home Despot. I gave the thumbs-up which was recognized. It took the Bel Marin Keys/Ignacio offramp. Anyone here know it? j/w

I spotted 2 2011 Guliettas on I-94 near Detroit on my way to and from Chicago this weekend. I rode next to one for about a mile but he sped away.

Anyway looking Sharp.

Spotted a sweet looking Giulia sedan this morning going north on Rockville Pike in Rockville Md...I didn't get a good enough look to get any more detailed on precise year etc. But it looked to be in great shape. The color looked like that light, teal-ish blue from Alfas of that era.

Yesterday on Highway 1 near Mill Valley, that grey metallic Giulia sedan with the TZ wheels that shows up in various rallies/driving events (and is maybe the one on BringATrailer's header). I was in my white spider... what a weekend for driving, if only I could have somehow cleared the roads of all the other people enjoying it :P

Reference to Alfa Romeo in "Fraiser"
It doesn’t actually show an Alfa, but Alfas are mentioned twice in an episode of the old television sitcom “Fraiser”. “Fraiser” was sort of done in acts with introductory title slides between acts. In the 1994 episode “Fortysomething” Fraiser is having a mid-life crisis. After some setbacks to his self-image one act is introduced with a slide that says “It’s this or an Alfa Romeo”. After further blows to his self-image a later act is introduced with a slide that says “I wonder if that Alfa Romeo show room is still open”.

This morning heading northbound on I-5 saw a beautiful dark metallic brown or possibly black (sun wasn't quite up yet) GTV6 zoom past me at about Ravenna/Lake City Way exit. This was at about 6:30am. Due to traffic I was able to catch up and remain in the lane over, enjoying the rear 3/4 view from the vantage point of my truck. Appeared to have nice 17" alloys and the black louvers on the hatch. Really sweet example. I was sad when I had to take my exit just a couple miles down the road.

Sounds like Charlie's old sedan!!
You ever see a red GTV6 around DC?
Also, this may be way out of the blue - but do you ever drive down Connecticut Ave in your Spider? I saw a very nice red spider way back in February (I think) zooming past.

I'm a few spottings late - but that was me! I think that was the day I did the smog on it. Still have it, even put it up for sale again but it seems no one is interested and I'm not desperate/giving it away! ... and of course it just takes a small excuse to keep it - it really is running and looking great!

I spotted a beautiful white Giulia on the curves headed north on Hwy 21 around 4:00 today near Bad Bear campground about 9 miles out of Idaho City. I was headed south in my green spider. We honked an waived. It's the first Giulia I've seen in Idaho and the first Alfa I've seen in over a year. Correction I now think it may have been a Berlina we passed, beautiful either way ;^)

As I was driving out of my neighborhood, noticed a blue Milano drive by. I decided to follow the driver and it turns out we are neighbors! The turned out to be an '87 Milano Platinum like my old one!

This spot is a little late but about two months ago i saw a red spider with an older guy wearing what looked like a wide brimmed straw hat or something on 7th street in Long Beach twice. I was driving next to him in my GTV6 once and waved. He saw me and gave a sorta half assed wave back. Saw him again when going opposite directions and gave another wave but no reply that time. Also about a month ago I saw a nice post '91 spider at the Shell on Pico and Prosser in LA when I was filling up. Talked to him and told him I also had an Alfa but he didnt know what it was. Told him about the BB and AROSC but he didn't seem too interested.
I've seen a few other spiders around LA and OC also.
Is it just me or does it seem like spider owners in california generally dont "know" what Alfas are?

It's not you - here in Cali most spiders are driven by people that wanted a cute convertible car...
