I once worked with a guy who had a Biturbo.  It was a nice looking 
car, stylish inside and undoubtedly fast.  But except for the unusual 
plumbing it was just another car, more or less.  Okay, maybe it was 
more more and less less.

He asked me to pick up a dizzy cap because the Maserati/Alfa dealer 
was just around the corner from me.  It cost $109.  This was in the 
late 80's.

Once he called me in a panic from the roadside because smoke was 
billowing out from under the dash.  He had taken it for service and 
the dweeb who re-assembled the plastic under the steering column had 
driven a screw through the wiring harness.

Just another car.
