i knew it would cost me money to maintain an alfa, but i just totaled up all my invoices this evening and i have already spent about 5k on my car since may.
granted - most of the stuff i did most people would not do - paintless dent removal (350), new stereo and speakers (800), boot cover in perfect shape (500), new tail lights (400) - i didnt even add the 700 i am going to spend to refinish all 4 rims, but i also did a few things that a lot of people have done or had to do - new water pump, new springs to name a few.
it has been a satisfying ownership experience and i have no regrets buying my spider since i have always wanted one since i was in high school, but wow - you can really get carried away with spending!!
