My Ride for Today

So I went to the garage and they had only one car left to let me borrow, this beauty. It was my first experience in a large car. Although I have driven a Ford Mondeo 2.0 before, this is from a whole different world. A Ford Mondeo is stable as it goes and shows it's brute strength as you step on the gas. You can feel the pavement already behind you.

But the Alfa 159 1.9 JTS... It's quiet and relaxing as you cruise, but when you step on the gas... this bella feels you, like she knows what you want. You don't feel any raw power like the Mondeo, but you can hear the heartbeat, the engine. It's smooth sound and very elegant. As soon as you reach the 4000 revs, it changes into some kind of "Samus Hypermode" and then rushes to a limit of 7000 rpm and it feels like she's screaming "MORE". So you shift up and there she goes again. It's thrilling and adrenaline filling.

Too bad I had it only for 21 kilometers... but it's more than enough... for now
