I am a huge vert fan, it adds a lot to the experience, especially if the roads are a bit bland. It also makes you feel like you are going faster than you are.

Ideal weather is early summer evening, say 2 hrs before sunset. Warm but not hot, top down, engine and exhaust barking when changing down etc etc.

I'll add, pets belong outside, i can't stand them inside. I used to have at least two of everything so they don't get lonely but they never stepped in the house.

Wow, that should be an unpopular opinion, unless you are/were a farmer and treat them as livestock (or you have large pets like horses or llamas). To me, pets are family, they belong inside. I don't get why one should keep them outside, meaning less interaction w them.

Ya, it definitely adds to the experience, but, to me, it's quite incremental/minimal....ok, hard to put into words, it's good, but it's not like I really crave having the top down whenever possible.

They lick heir own arseholes, they're not family. Like you said, they need each other, not us. My three dogs still oved a wrestle and to play fetch or whatever but they had their doggie house outside and that was that. We had 5 acres so yeah, bit of space and winter never got below 5.

Dogs are pretty dirty but if I did have one, they would definitely be family and kept inside. Does that mean you don't love them as much since you kept them outside or is that irrelevant?

Scrabble sucks because they insist on allowing all those fake 'words', what the heck is XJ, QT, etc? Who invented all that bs?

Most humans would lick their own arseholes if they could.

Umm, I hope that is an unpopular opinion lol. Speaking of which, I don't get ppl (esp straight men) into anal...might as well play for the other team (not that there's anything wrong w that). /Seinfeld For the other team, there's no choice, and I get it, but for hetero men, what the heck are you thinking?!!!

Yeah probably. I am a very matter of fact man, I liked my pets but never really loved them because they're just animals. Most of their "affection" is just because they are smart enough to know where their meals come from.

If Alfa brought over a 6MT Giulia QV to the sates (and it was somewhat reliable and had a nicer interior) - There's a good chance I'd have had that on order as opposed to the G80 - bucket list be damned in that case. That's how good the Giulia is.
