My Subaru Died AGAIN!

This is what happens when you trust the wrong people to do the right thing. A shoddy bit of sensor work on top of a garbage tune, and I'm out thousands. Is it what it is, onward and upward I say! Thanks for watching this talking head edition of Altek gets screwed.

      I think the new owner stuck with it, but the engine blew again since the original tuner screwed me so I got rid of it. Still hurts to think about it. If your build is questionable, get out while you still can.

    I am so sick of this damned thing after about 40 years. This ridiculous show was responsible for the destruction of so many classic Chargers and has driven the price of remaining Chargers to outrageous amounts. I cringe every time I see another Charger in a ridiculous orange Halloween costume or some idiot jumping and destroying another good car. What a horrible waste of automotive history.

My mechanics are good and I've never been let down by either ALFA I've owned. The worst thing that has happened is a head light went out on me... that's IT! Replaced it and off I went!

    You described the car very accurately. I've loved my '86 Spider because they drive wonderfully and look beautiful. "It's all part of the charm of driving an Alfa Romeo" - perfect! The shifter is where it should be and people comment on it all the time. The pedals are too close together and the 2nd gear synchro is a pain in the butt. So true! The car has spunk. It's not "fast", it's quick. I love driving it on back roads in 3rd gear - definitely the sweet spot. Basically, you own this car for how it makes you feel. Keep up the good work!

      Ha, still alive and kicking. I really want to get back into it but time is limited on my end. I often think about what car I want to get into next and I usually lean towards Kia/Genesis because they offer such good warranties. I'd rather spend the premium, commit to a long term purchase that's secure than take a bet on a newer car with all that tech and no warranty. If it wasn't for needing to drive my son around, it would be all old Honda's for the rest of my life since I new car is rarely feasible or justifiable.

      I am in the market for a used 2018 Alfa, so I am researching the car and I came across a video of an owner doing a one year review, he was complaining about not being able to engage the sunroof while the car was moving. It seems like they do it on purpose. Maybe some safety feature? It is the first time I see that though.
