Because a 64 Rambler that had been sitting for decades was child's play, and a V8-swapped Jaguar didn't fool me, and even diving into the alt-fuel world with a factory propane-powered F100 didn't phase me, I had to do the one thing guaranteed to break my streak of profits, wreck my marriage, and cement my street cred as a "car guy" simultaneously...

Oh oh oh ... I'll take self inflected pain for $200 Alex. How nice is it? I've always wanted an Alfa.
Take the engine out. Put it on a stand in the garage. Throw the rest of the car away. Occasionally walk into the garage and look at how pretty the engine is. You'll be the happiest Alfa owner in history.

I've been thinking about doing just that with an Alfa engine for years.
