Well I remember in Chicago we had two (2) seasons, one was Winter and the other was Road Construction!

So as for now in Arizona we have very nice driving weather of ~80 degrees , however the 110 is coming and you do NOT want to be driving with the top down then and your water temp gauge heading to 220+

That is a really nice looking Graduate. And being red makes it about perfect. Does it have air conditioning? That would help you on those 110 days, but wouldn't do much for the temp gauge.

..."panel trucks, giant pick ups, and SUVs who want to prove that they can out drag me from the light"
Don't worry I live in a very quite and well disciplined area and as I drive mi 79 Spider daily I get the same thing at least 3 or 4 times a day.
I don't even look at these trucks nor the drivers. THEY have a problem not me. They have a disease I call "PUC" = Pick Up Complex. Obviously these "monsters" are the last vehicles to have rather large engines so their owners want to show it and a small Alfa gets the excited.
Ignore them, it is even more frustating for them.

they all have a roof...

I get beat all the time but don't care anymore........the Alfa is just a pleasure to drive.

Never had a car I enjoy so much and find it is never boring.Cannot say that about my Mazda pick up !!

When we moved to Tucson back in 94 we sold our silver 78 Spider...too hot!



Now that we are in Kentucky the weather is better....not too hot, not too cold.

I don't even try when the good ole boys pull up............
