The Alfa grille is a true classic. As for the recall, better now than later.

I am just waiting for 1UAW to chime in and say that UAW workers could have torqued those nuts to the correct specs.

If you can look at this car and fail to see a work of art, then sadly my friend, you have no taste. And if that grill makes you want to muff dive, then check out the grill on a 1938 BMW 327. Ooooo Baby!
