Great day to experiment with the Q4 system and get some fresh air this beautiful afternoon. Please indulge me with a few pics of the frozen Susquehanna river, Lake Clarke area, Long Level and of course our beautiful Stelvio!

how do you keep that show room shine in that kind of environment?

Marco: Yesterday I went to a hand spray wash bay and washed as much as possible by hand- pictures are a little forgiving. And it turned to ice almost immediately. However no auto brush car wash will touch this vehicle for at least a couple years so one inconvenience of a fresh finish is it's a little more complicated to keep clean and I do not take having a garage for granted one sec and I have a nice collection of detail supplies to use above 40 degrees F when things warm up a bit as they inevitability do. Our 2008 Jeep GC that I just sold looked @190K miles in great condition so this is a bit of an avocation for me- to enjoy my ride.

It would be great for some of us to meet up one day at a central place and share a few stories. A 'new Alfa' group would be pretty amazing. Chrysler Nationals allows part of the field for new model owners to congregate as part of the party; Mayne something like that could work. It is in Carlisle PA in July.

Current plan is to drive it hard for 9-10 years and when I retire upgrade to the (hopefully) new Stelvio at that time.

Thanks + best regards!

Great pictures and there's none of the salt deposits I'm so used to seeing during the wintertime, at least not as much as expected.
