Well... long story short:
Moms stupidly often failing old Renault Scenic reached the end of its annoying life and needed to be replaced. As the mentioned pile of shit wasn't worth much in cash, we decided to go for something similar in age and pricerange. Mom drives like 3-5k km each year. Tops. And she seems to magically attrack dents and scratches, so anything shiny new would have been a waste. After ~2 weeks of checking out one shitbox after another, I eventually found a car that fulfills basically all needs.
So I ended up buying an Alfa, and i immediately gave it to mom. But as its still my car, I'll use it from time to time.

Short facts:
Alfa Romeo 146 1.6 Twin Spark
- 07/1998
- 165k km
- 1.6 TS 120hp
- some electric things and an AC, all working fine
- passed inspection for 2 years in 11/2010
I'd say it needs some minor bodywork, but as mentioned earlier, thats not worth the time it'd take, mom will reverse the effect within weeks .
I don't really know why, but as I did all the stuff and bought it, on every paper relating to the car is my name. That makes me officially an Alfa-Owner. Oh shi....
Now go on and make fun of as much as you like .

PS: Proof of ownership? Believe it or get lost. Fuck it, i'd rather proof its not mine, but hey .
PPS: Yes, its already pre-dented for mom
