Another day in alfa hell



So another day in owning an '86 GTV6 in upstate New York. I get the feeling 
this car hates the weather up here as much as I do. Currently The car always 
has a dead battery, I have to jump it everytime I want to go somewhere. At 
first I thought there was a drain on the battery, but after driving it for an 
hour today I turned it off and then tryed to restart, but it wouldn't. I 
thought it was the alternator, but once the car starts, all the electronics 
work fine and the battery light goes off after about 5 seconds I also just 
had all the belts tightened. I got a new battery, but drained in about a 
week. Im currently ordering one of  Fred Di Matteo's higher voltage regulator 
to see if that does the trick. Any other ideas???? I'm too busy currently to 
take my battery inside everynight and charge it!!!! 
I love this car and it was doing great at home (warmer), but it keeps braking 
my heart here in the arctic with little anoying things going wrong andthen 
self correcting (usally). Anyone wana trade for a toyota?  Honda? dare say 
SUV (boo hissssss)? 164??????? I'll never sell my 69 GTV though. . . 
Thanks,
Jeff
