I don’t get it. When I talk to friends of mine about my obsession with Alfa Romeo cars, they all seem to be kind of irritated at my adoration of a car maker that (according to them) makes cars that fall apart when you drive them over a cobble stone road…

I try to explain to them that buying an Alfa Romeo is NOT the same as buying a Porsche or a Lexus. Why? Well, basicly, the Alfa is a car lover’s car. The Porsches or the Lexuses are nice cars for you regular people… ^^

I always use the Alfa Romeo 159 as an example. It’s stylish, it’s got a decent engine, yet it’s priced pretty high mainly because us freaks just LOVE the MOJO the car has… Can you resist the Alfa Romeo 159 ti shown below?

I sure as hell can’t. Alfa’s are petrolheadcars. ^^
