Finally bought a new Spider!

Post by DanB »

I picked up a 2019 Classica three weeks ago. I drove one when they first came out three years ago, and I've wanted one ever since. Did a little video to provide an update to my previous test drive video, and explain my plans for this car.

I had one for a 3 year lease. Loved every minute of driving it. At lease end, I got talked into an Alfa Romeo Stelvio by my wife. While I do like the extra room, when the lease is up on the Alfa I'm going back to the Spider. Not looking forward to that "discussion."

I does look great in black, but I might change it up. I have too many black cars.
