The Alpha Romao

So a few weeks ago a friend of mine mentioned that some old man let him drive a super expensive car. We were all pretty shocked because that isn't something that happens everyday. Well so I thought.

Today my friend Greg and I went to Ihop after a pretty excruciating gym night. It was pretty uneventful; bad service, good hash browns. As we were leaving an old man stopped us because i wasn't wearing a coat (it was 65 degrees) and Greg saw a gorgeous Alpha Romao sitting in the park in lot and said "That is a beautiful car." The owner (the old man who thought I should have had a coat) was sitting a few feet away and he began enthusiastically talking about it before asking him if he wanted to take it for a spin.

I was confused, Greg was flabbergasted, but he accepted. The man then began to clean food wrappers, a paint bucket, and other assorted junk out of the car before mentioning for us to sit inside.

I'm still confused and a bit cautious but I reluctantly get in. The seats were so low to the ground it almost felt like I was touching the concrete, however I was immediately taken back by how gorgeous the red leather interior was despite the fact that he said he had spilled paint and soda and whatnot inside. Detailing can be amazing. After a quick lesson on how it ran he stepped away and we took off around the Ihop and Target parking lots. Let me tell you, this car had some get-up-and-go!

When our short ride came to an end I was mildly worried I'd have to force Greg from the car. He talked to the man a bit longer before we left. I guess this goes to show that even when you least expect it, at midnight in an Ihop parking lot, an adventure can surprise you!
Keep looking for yours,
