===========================================

replacing "Italy" with "Germany" that could be me.
Italian cars can kick ass and I own a small one ( Lancia ) so I know what I'm talking about.
We bought it new, as we were very satisfied with the used one that we had earlier.
Tina traded it for her expensive Golf GTI, the usual maintenance is much cheaper now,
never had big repairs in all the years.
And I always drive the sh*t out of it, ask Doug Teulie 
who was probably scared to death on the backseat ;-))

 I'm still dreaming of a Maserati Biturbo Spyder,

this car needs some maintenance however...
