Longish drive

I took the Alfa on it's first drive in a month. After 60+ miles, I've moved past the point of "listening for problems" to "noticing what is great." There's a lot to like.

The engine is loosening up, it's pulling harder and revving easier now. The temperature and oil pressure are perfect. It sounds great and turns a lot of heads.

After servicing the gearbox and differential, the two major mechanical items that were not rebuilt, I was concerned a hidden gremlin would be lurking. They both feel good - the modern synthetic oils are working their magic - the drivetrain gets smoother with each drive.

The Koni Sport dampers and Alfaholics lowering springs are fantastic. The naysayers are crazy - the handling is much improved - there is no bump-steer and the ride is "sporty." And the new stance looks good:

I'm looking forward to hitting the 500 and 1,000 mile marks!
