Ben - I too had a Alfas in SODAK. In fact I purchased an '87 Milano new from 
the dealer in Rapid City. I also had my beloved '84 Spider there and drove 
it almost every day unless it was snowing hard. I later used that same 
Spider for my 150 minute round trip commute from the Tehachapi mountains 
across the Mojave Desert to Edwards AFB, everyday. Many trips were made into 
LA for any number of reasons (including Raider's games). For ten years I 
used that Spider as my daily commuter car and it never let me down. Of 
course I was very diligent about maintenance. Sure would like to know what 
happened to her.
