I'm with Jorge on this.
Ted, I don't really know your reasons, but why don't you think to keep your
75 and forget about any other crap???
As I did... my car is all but a commuter... at least here, with the gasoline
prices we have and the poor mileage I get out of it (doesn't matter
how slow and how conservatively I drive, I can't get out anything better
than 10km per liter... and I have to travel 30km per day just for coming
to office!).  When I decided to get it I follow my heart, caring shit
about anything else.  I just got a VERY CHEAP scooter (50cc moped) for
daily commuting, that's even better on traffic than any car or other
motorcycle (remember I'm also a motorcycle rider).  IT gives me some
30km per liter :-)))) and it uses unleaded that's even cheaper than my
75's beloved leaded fuel :)
..Hey... do ya prefer a perfect woman, never complaining, but also an ICE,
or one ain't perfect just a bit more ball breaker, but HOT and driving you 
crazy ?? :-))) 
What you'll save on repairs will be wasted on therapies, cuz you'll never
forgive yourself for what you're gonna do! :))) You're gonna feel a guilty
sense
all your life long!!!
And imagine: you own the real original LAST old style ALFA made in this
millenium... in 3-4 days you'll be owning one of the finest cars
of previous millenium....
Naaaa dude... get rid of your lame ideas and keep the 75! It kicks arses!
