Alphas

[adoherty@domain.elided (Adam Doherty)]

Every so often I spend a little more time at the gas pump enlightening 
the attendant or another patron about my Milano and Alfas in general.  
Last time I was getting gas, a youth in need of Noxema (hey, I'm young 
too, but not that young....) wanted to know what it was.  Started off 
saying he had never 
seen such a gas-cap before.  Then wanted to know if it was fast etc.  So 
I go through the specs with him, dunno if the light was going on or not 
though.  He wanted to know what other models etc they made, but was a 
little taken aback upon finding out that the pipeline went from a trickle to 
closed in '95.  Anyhow, he now pronounces the name correctly, and said he 
may be interested in owning one in the future.  Especially when I told 
him that that tweaked out Accord at the next pump was no match in either 
performance or flair....
