They even had one in black with the red interior. I think he thought we were poor.

I really like the new TLX. That Type S looks great. Black over Red would be an awesome color combination.

My 2nd son had his Bar Mitzvah on Saturday. I turned 46 yesterday.

Coincidentally, I went to a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday morning. Started with a get together for diner for selected family and friends before the Friday night service. Then a brunch following the service on Saturday morning, then a reception party on Saturday night, then a brunch on Sunday morning.
A really nice weekend but, wow, I don’t even want to think about what that cost. When did it turn into this? I remember years ago it was the service on Saturday morning then a reception on Saturday night. Talk about how times have changed. Yoy or should I say Oy Vey.
Congrats again.

Not sure I’ve ever heard a used Maserati referred to as a bargain.
I reference this gem:

@nyccarguy Mazel tov! Sounds like it was a great weekend.
Start saving up for the driveway expansion project. It will be here before you know it.
Their writing styles seem similar to me.
The car does have CT plates, so it is possible.
Why?
Not my reasons obviously but convenience mostly, and upkeep as well. The latter stemmed from a full refresh of the front suspension, struts, springs, tie rod ends, control arms, bushings...everything. Once I explained even only getting driven 1,000-1,500 miles per year, parts eventually wear out that was less of an issue.The former was more suggestive but it's clear there's a preference about having a sedan or hatch in the fold vs. two coupes. Since it wasn't a matter of reducing the fleet, I've been browsing.
Now, just one more to go with your daughter.

And, I would never trust an old, used Italian car. An old, used British car? Sure, why not? What, me worry?

Just look under the hood the the brake fluid reservoir. You don't even have to touch anything.

Was out yesterday and passed 2 other mavericks driving around. I think that doubled my total. Was neat to see some finally getting out there.

Weird. Chart lists automatic transmission but pictures clearly show 5 speed
Italian car in Japan maybe(?).
FWIW, there were a couple of those (maybe even 3) on a somewhat dubious-looking used car lot locally that is across the street from the Autoport site where car carriers from Europe and Japan offload here. I think one of them was a Spider model. This was about 3 years ago. I actually saw one of them on the road a short time later. I figure that was a pretty rare sighting.

Alfa likes 2 liters. My '86 Spider had one, and so did my '18 Stelvio.

Aside from being RHD because I know some of you are not into that. But, if it was LHD, what do you think? Pretty darned cheap. Seller is offering $100 off to me. LOL. I'm asking for an auction report.
