I want it… NOW!

Lust.
Lust.

Those Europeans get all the good toys. See that car up there? That is an Alfa Romeo Spider. Not only is it cool, and awesome, and worthy of lust, it is also available with a 2 liter “JTDM” TurboDiesel engine. That’s right, an open-topped, two seater, oil-burning, sports car.

If Alfa brought this to America I’d be their first customer.

I’ve been thinking of an essay about Diesel, and sports cars. Stay tuned for more.

  1. you watched that Fifth Gear yet Chuck?… they drive a BMW 6 series coupe across Europe to find cheapest diesel in Europe… yes it was an oil burner also… but solid roof…

    but the Alfa certainly looks nicer…. when you selling the Jag then?? surely a man of your contacts could get one shipped to USA!

  3. I have no “contacts” of worth to assist in that sort of endeavor. :(

    The Jag is a family heirloom, and not for sale. I’m just dreaming here about replacing the Jetta with something more fun to drive, but can still run on my homebrew.
