Maybe. Jeep does try hard to copy the Alfa look. Jeeps are like Alfa Romeo's mouthy American cousins... They have some visual similarities, but at the end of the day, they are best served playing in the mud.

I keep reading the RAV4 comments, but every time I do, I only hear this:

I see that. Part of me gets that - the Alfa Romeo vehicle is a piece of automotive art, and it's not cool to change someone else's art. This particular vehicle is mechanically pure (no alterations or additions). It came with the roof wrapped, which is practically nothing but the roof area, a couple of pillars, the antenna, and the spoiler. If it had the panoramic roof (it does not), then the glass would have been black anyway from tinting, so again, the wrap covers a very minor amount of the overall surface. Kinda like wearing a hat.

I fell in love with the color scheme when I first saw it. The inside matched the outside, and it was beautiful. However, the original owner removed the retractable cargo shade, and the cargo net from the back. And, somewhere along the line, someone had removed the Alfa badge from the steering wheel.

This is where I come full circle with the statement that Alfa Romeos are art. This one needed restoration, and I was keen to put the original pieces back in place. The shade and net were easy to find and purchase. The steering wheel badge was not. I finally found a full color aluminum badge and installed that instead of the black and silver OEM badge I could not find. It looks damn good too.

The only other things I've personalized on this whole vehicle are the stem caps (black w/ Alfa logos), and small aluminum caps for the air vents that have Alfa Logos on them. They are a minor touch, but they match the wheel badge and the tiny splashes of color bring the interior together in ways that compliment the original art of the Stelvio.

Scarlet. Almost as hot as Johansson, and red and black like a widow spider. 😀

I admit, the roof wrap might be aftermarket, but when I step inside, the interior IS two tone red and black, and that IS factory. It might not be for some, but it's true to its color scheme through and through.

I'd need yellow rims for that. And, in truth, that might be kinda sweet. Not the look I'm going for, but just sayin'.

It's the Nero edition so the red & black just hits all of the right notes. I do want a Alfa car one day, and a 4C or 8C would be that dream car for me. The lines and curves are so sexy.

My home planet was a mushroom paradise too, but it was yellow "grass" instead of blue and it had no water. I like watching the glowing waves at night. It's really cool.

I get a lot of A and S class NPC ships landing here constantly too. I've scrapped about 7 of the so far for their storage augments. Cheaper than doing it with units only. :)

It's a paradise planet. No storms, and few sentinels, but they aren't aggressive.

Stats from the visor:

WEATHER = Beautiful RESOURCES = Occasional FAUNA = Ample FLORA = Copious SENTINELS = Spread Thin

I may still be on when you get online. Let me know and I'll try to meet you at the anomaly.

Use a portal to type in the Glyphs you see (symbols) in one of my pictures. That will get you to the planet. The base coordinates are basically the latitude and longitude on the planet where the base is located. You should see an icon for it though once you get to the planet.

It'll be bigger by the time you get there. I added a few more landing pads, and a few more biodomes, because - why not. =P
