    Thank you, @Bscott94!  Again, if you have any other questions, let me know.  I am happy to answer.
    One last word of warning...  If you do test drive one, you will likely start a quest to buy one.  I held out for 2.5 months between my first test drive of one and signing papers for mine!...  lol

    Wow, thank you so much for such a detailed response! It's greatly appreciated. I have seen a few Giulias around town here and they are stunning. Your car has the coolest stock wheels I have ever seen. These are towards the top of my list. I love driving and I'm looking for something that is a blast to drive.

    Hi Brandon @Bscott94...  
    I Googled Indy Alfa Dealers and saw that you have two.  I went to the Napleton Alfa Romeo/Maserati dealership off 96th Street (depending on the listing, it's either "of Indianapolis," or "of Carmel," or simply "Napleton Italian Imports") and had a great overall experience.  I worked with a salesman named John McGloin, initially over the phone and finalized things in person.  He was very accommodating, doing everything from providing pictures to filming a video to make sure that it was worth my time driving down and back.  He has been with the dealership for years, even prior to Napleton owning that location, so he is very knowledgeable.    Granted we did some pre-work over the phone, but I was literally in with my old car and out with my Alfa in four hours.  The car prep was nice as well, as they transferred everything down to my I-Pass (EZ-Pass).  The only thing that was a bit annoying wouldn't affect you.  Illinois started a new process for registering out-of-state purchased vehicles that they weren't familiar with (can't blame them for that), so it took 40-days for me to register my car and transfer my plates.  Since Indiana Temp Tags are 45-day Tags, it made for some anxious days and for a lot of phone calls as we got past the 30-day mark.  But they even got that done and since you live in Indiana, you won't have that headache to deal with.  
    I will give you the insight that if you are trading a vehicle, know your trade's value or the range you are willing to accept.  This seems to be an Alfa dealer thing, not just a Napleton thing, as I shopped multiple dealerships up here in Chicagoland, and had the same experience.  Whatever program or equation they are using to value trades was coming up with a low number regardless of who the dealer was owned by or what city it was in, at least on my car.  That said, an hour at Carmax got me a written offer that I showed them after their offer on my trade, which they honored, and it got me an extra $2,500.  
    Outside of that, the car is amazing and if you enjoy driving, which if you are on a forum like this I presume you do, then you will love the Alfa regardless of trim level.  I've have/had American, European, and Asian vehicles, and each excelled in specific ways.  This is the most well-rounded car that I have ever owned.  It's truly a luxurious driver's car.  The Giulia has personality and it is hard not to smile every time you drive it.  And it is gorgeous inside and out.  You will catch a lot of people looking at it.  
    I hope that helps.  If you have any questions or if I can help further, feel free to reach out to me.
    Good Luck,
    B

    I can get behind this. I use the limited edition DS more than I do regular. I like the scent of the regular but I like to switch it up sometimes. Maybe for some of them, we can use the term "Seasonal" instead of Limited. I think my favorites are the OG Untamed DS, I think it's pina colada, and I believe 2019 Memorial Day, the label is light blue and it smells like root beer float.

    It could be like a 2 hour pre-release before they post it on Instagram or something. I think that's a great idea.

    Adam’s should drop the release time for online ordering here in the forums as a perk for the enthusiasts who participate here.

    I usually just jam them in. This usually makes sure that I get every last drop. I was trimming them but it's just as easy to smash them in and go

    I did all the glass on my SUV last week and I didn't even use glass cleaner on the inside. I have a sprayer in my Brilliant Glaze and I just sprayed it on the inside of the windows, spread it out so it would cover all of the glass, and then buff it off with a utility towel. This got all of the junk off of the glass and left them nice and clear.

    I believe I saw somewhere that BG has cleaning properties. If your glass is really dirty, it would probably be best to clean first. I just had some finger prints and a small bit of stuck on junk.

    I polished a fender on my trashed SUV to see if I could get some shine out of it. I was super surprised. But not really because I know Adam's is the best. Started with a WW wipe down then taped off the area. I went over it several times with HCC on a microfiber pad. Then hit it with HCC on a blue foam pad. Then finished up with FP on a white pad. I sealed it up with CPW.

    I saw someone using the windshield washer at the gas station to wash their car. So, yeah, don't do that.
