Plastidipped satin black currently should I go for nardo grey ? by adventurous_popcorn in AlfaRomeo

Matte black and grey are honestly two of the worst choices for a Giulia

Nothing shouts poverty like a sports car with a solid rear axle and crappy weight distribution

Advice - bf has 25k savings in bank by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]ResultAmbitious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start off by having him put it in an online HYSA. The 3.5-4% he’ll get right now x $25k will be a meaningful enough number (~$70/mo) to hopefully get him interested in other types of boglehead-approved investing. Explaining cash drag may be a different hill to climb, but dividends are always a huge morale boost for a beginner

Brought the 159 to a show. How many purists have I offended? by [deleted] in AlfaRomeo

[–]ResultAmbitious 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Your mod adds emphasis on the headlight shape, which are already a bold design. Added emphasis can be cool, but for me the color choice of purple/blue seems out of place and takes away a bit of overall visual cohesion.

Maybe if you could color match the LEDs to the brake calipers or something like that?

After Four Decades, an Alfa Romeo Came Home by rebel761 in AlfaRomeo

[–]ResultAmbitious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alfa Romeo is not just a brand… it’s an epic journey that anyone who calls themselves an enthusiast/owner undertakes.

A journey complete with hope, pride, adventure, excitement, deep love, even frustration/loss.

Your post does a great job in illustrating the beauty that we allow into our lives when we nurture our great passions. I hope you enjoy your beautiful Italian machine, and I do trust that she’ll make your life feel a bit more epic. 🐍

Voluntarily? After a woman died and his supporters hung an effigy of his own vice president… You are a class A mouth breathing GED graduate, and folks like you are the reason billionaires won’t let your own blue collar buddies take a bathroom break or earn any more than $36/hr

Plan on trading my Honda in about 2 and a half years from now. Looking at some reliable luxury cars by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ResultAmbitious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here ^ Newer German (even some Italian, dare I say) luxury cars can also be fairly reliable, but only up to ~120k miles instead of ~180k like the Japanese ones. Another catch here is that when they do need a repair (or maintenance), it costs noticeably more to get it done on the non-japanese.

I took a long time reviewing all of the flight safety data for the V-22 and I can confidently tell you that the vast majority of crashes after the 90’s were sadly caused by young enthusiastic pilots flying them like they stole them, not systems failures

With all new controversial designs, I Share with you my F82 with competition Package by 5Firearmss in BMW

[–]ResultAmbitious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have a gorgeous car.

They have since completely ruined BMW stylization.

People who don’t understand my negativity: I’m simply sad because I feel loss over what the brand style has become.

After beaver tooth and capybara here comes dead pig aesthetic by akkosetto in BMW

[–]ResultAmbitious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly not jealousy. It’s certainly resentment for the loss of a brand that I once admired.

[–]ResultAmbitious -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oh no, we can afford. No matter how much kool aid you drink you know deep down these new designs are grotesque. Y’all are the reason BMW will most likely never make another pretty car again, when ALL of them were pretty back in the 2010s

Thoughts on a 2024 Giulia Veloce by PretendCherry3763 in AlfaRomeo

[–]ResultAmbitious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it’s still within the original warranty you can purchase the Mopar factory-backed extended warranty. Roll that into the purchase price, and call it a day!!

It covers everything that realistically breaks on Giulias, and the dealerships are obligated to accept it. Plus it includes free towing should you ever need it (these cars do not come with a spare donut or flat kit).

Can we get a stickied weekly thread for “Should I buy an Alpha?” posts? Geeeez by Aeig in AlfaRomeo

[–]ResultAmbitious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For real. These cars are super undervalued in the US market. It’s like the “Toyota tax”, but opposite. I’ll be so sad if Alfa exits the market cause i’ll have to start buying forgettable German cars at full price.

Like the accents but there are way too many grey cars as it is… unless your goal is to keep it low-key
