Re: YOU WANT TO WHAT?

Tess - you sound like an alright girl... one who loves alfas, and brought up coilovers (most girls eyes glaze over if I say that word) and romping a quattro.  We (as a general car loving guy statement) need more girl like you!
Girls can NEVER understand how I spend 8-5 at work everyday and then 6 - midnight at shop 2 days a week + all day sat and sunday at the shop (splitting time between the alfas and off road project).  They always tend to run when they see how much time I sepnd w/ cars.
Ben would be lucky to have girl appreciate the cars - heck anyone would!
Ben - being just out of college w/ 4 cars (a alfas and a race truck project) is keeping me BROKE!  Not to mention student loans!  My suggestion is to keep the quattro, save the pennies and do the alfa after school.
