@MushyHeirloom: Same for me. There used to be people who lived around the corner from me who had an Alfa sedan, and there are a couple Spyders, but other than that they are crazy rare. I think living in the States has something to do with this, too.
@MushyHeirloom: There are several nice late-model Spyders around here. I saw a really well-kept Milano on the road a few weeks back and managed to resist the urge to follow it so I could shake the owner's hand.
@gman1023: You're right, I take that back - in the US, in my lifetime. I saw more Alfas, Citroens, and other oddities in two weeks in Scotland than I ever expect to here.
@jaymcminn: Cool! If you see it again, try to get photos?
@MushyHeirloom: I'm pretty sure I've never seen a roadgoing Citroen in the flesh. A few Renaults and Peugeots used to be around, but those are crazy rare nowadays. There is this place near me that has a gaggle of Merkurs, both Scorpios and XR4Tis. It's tough to tell from the road, but it appears there are at least 6 of them, and I've only ever seen 2 cars running from that place. Sounds like the appropriate ratio.
@ferric oxide: I was wondering the very same thing. Maybe it got some token number of BS laps and made them up? Maybe the team had a really good bribe? Perhaps the Saucy Minx™ will tell us in her own sweet time...

@ferric oxide: Subie parts sell for surprising amounts of money. Could very well be a $1000 car that they were able to sell, and document, $500 worth of unnecessary crap.
@ferric oxide: I've looked through some CL and ebay Imprezas (the 93-01 model) not one under 3 grand, but the parts are indeed also very expensive...

(Keep in mind that I was born during G.H.W. Bush's presidency, and that's probably why.)
