The day I consciously matched my outfits to my car's colour. It was when I knew the Alfa addiction was real.

The weird pride I had when it actually passed an emissions test without a problem. It was like watching your problem child graduate.

I'd become a full blown Alfisti, without noticing, until I found myself defending its quirks to a Toyota owner.

I admired how good it looked parked on the side of the road when it left me stranded for how long.

My non car friend asked me why I keep 'that unreliable Italian thing' and made them take a ride. They got it after one corner.

That was the day I figured out that I’ve been subconsciously taking the long, twisty route to wherever I was going because it’s more fun in the 147.

I took it to a mechanic because it had a strange noise, and all he said was, 'It's an Alfa.'" Somehow, that explained everything.

The moment you’re having a terrible day, and then you see your 147’s reflection in a shop window and can’t help but smile.

The check engine light came on, went off, and suddenly the radio started working better. Alfa electrical gremlins at their finest!

The time my 147 wouldn't start because it was raining and then purred like a kitten on a sunny day. Classic Alfa mood swings.
