Performance Stats & Accolades 
-1940 lbs. (curb weight - w/o driver, but includes all fluids)

-Jalopnik Radwood Chicago feature, "organizer's choice."

Service
-Trans flush and replacement with Redline 75W90 NS (~2017)
-Diff flush and replacement with Royal Purple 75W90 (when diff was rebuilt by Besic)
-Full oil change every fall - Valvoline VR-1 20W50 only, never had anything else

The Bad?
-Fuel level sender works but reads backwards, needs adjustment
-A rust hole in the driver's side floor board was hastily repaired with sheet metal. Hasn't bothered me but some may prefer to do a proper job instead!
-Interior carpet is intact and has no holes, but looks a bit old
-COBRA seat upholstery is not in the best condition
-Paint is nowhere near concours quality - Paint match from the fuel cap delete is close but not perfect and the body has many little dents and dings. Even though, she's still a MAJOR head turner and I have only received positive comments
-Aero modifications are not for everyone
-Small, non-developing windshield "chip" (seems to be between two layers of glass, really odd. Was there when I bought the car)
-As any Alfa, she self-lubricates (from either the pan gasket or the cigarette seals, can't tell.) Doesn't prevent the car from being driven hard, and it doesn't really need oil. Not even 1/8 of a quarter every six months
