Forgive me brothers, for I have sinned. I have lust in my heart and it's for someone other than my Z.

My wife and I have been discussing the thought of handing down her truck to my son, who is in need of transportation, and getting her something a little more practical on gas. When I asked her what she was thinking about, she spotted a little red Alfa Romeo Spider and said, "Gee, that's kinda sexy, how about one of those?"

My hands got a little sweaty, and I harrumphed a little bit, but the longer I thought of it the less I could come up with to disuade her. Pretty soon, I was looking around for one to buy, and the more I looked and learned, the more...

Well, let's just say it's been weeks now that I havent even thought of my Z.

Oh the shame, the guilt...

I didn't MEAN for it to happen, it just happened! I swear!

Here's the TRUE dilemma, do I continue down this sordid path? Will I have the strength to let this... this TEMPTRESS share the garage with my beloved Z?

STAY AWAY FROM HER!

You'll wind up with herpes or something (or at least high repair bills)! Listen to your mother.

After paying exorbitant prices for imported parts, the only fuel savings you realize is when you're pushing it to the rich Alfa mechanics garage.

are u talking about the spider or the wife?

Im afraid your just going to have to kill yourself. Or start drinking heavily. Better listen to me I was in pre-med!. ah animal house humor got to love it!

Shame shame shame! You are not worthy send your Z to me ill will give her the home she deaserves!

How could you When your wife spots a car and says that it looks SEXY what does that tell you????

Hop in your baby, fire up your L24 and listen to her roar. Then hit some country roads with some S curves. that will bring you back to reality like a cold slap in the face

The quote in my Signature says it all

Heck, why not? Let her have her car, then wait a couple of months and THEN take her out in the Z. Better yet, let her drive!

Only bad point is that then she'll stick you with the Spider.....

E

woman + car = :stupid:

Dude, you couldn't have talked her into a Datsun roadster?

Well now Rick, (Hmmm, seems like I'm talking to myself),

The solution to your problem is obvious mate.

Get HER a Zed. Perhaps, (Dare I say it ???), a 280, thereby ensuring that she can't beat you.

Rick.

:devious: :devious:

I'm gonna be the popular guy on here who says the wrong thing now but... I'd have to say i don't mind those alfas, only the early ones mind you.

BUT, i'd have to agree with GunnerRob on the high prices for parts - you've been living an easy life with a datsun on this front. Also if anyone here thought that Zs had a tendancy to rust, wait until you've experienced the tin worm in an Alfa!

Everything is a compromise though and you have to measure up the sexy alfa's curves and DOHC sound vs Datsun cheap maintinence and a pretty solid car.

just my 2 cents

Hay hay hay 280s aren't bad but build another garage for the sake of the Z.
