A couple of weeks ago, you may recall I bared my soul to you with the admission that I drove my Alfa Romeo so little that I had to have the carbs rebuilt, in order to get it running again (Neglectful Owner). Shame…I know.
But one detail I didn’t think to share at the time was that when I went to pick up my car at the shop, I was surprised to see that they had put the top up on it. Now, ordinarily this wouldn’t be any great revelation, but in the almost 20 years that I’ve owned this car the top has only been up once…and that was the day it was delivered to me off the back of a transporter! Of course, keep in mind, I live in Southern California where the weather is arguably nice all the time. Plus, as I’ve already confessed, I drive the car so in frequently that, when I do, it is only in good weather. So, if you’re driving a convertible, in nice weather, why wouldn’t you drive with the top down? Thererfore, all of my driving in the Alfa has been with the top down.
