Thanks

It's been a great truck. I have a 2018 Taco as well that's got 35,000 miles on it which has never been back to the dealer.

This will be the stablemate, assuming I can clear out everything in the background to make room for the C8's arrival next month.

I had a friend with a 2006 Lotus Elise, which looked alot like this Alfa. The Lotus was virtually impossible to get in and out of. Is this 4C any easier?

I think it's easier than the Elise, but I've only sat in an Elise years ago, so it's a faded memory that I'm basing this observation on. My feeling at the time with the Elise was "no way". I'm not a huge person but felt way too cramped in the Elise.

The issue with the 4C is that it's really wide. You see photos and the thought is that it's similar in size to a Lotus. Yes, it's very small and low, but I was initially shocked at how wide it is. The width of the rocker panels due to the carbon fiber tub make it a challenge to get in and out of, but once you're in there it's very comfortable.

Curious - do you have “pack” problems with three dogs? I had two dogs years ago who were best friends. In fact, we only got the second dog because he belonged to a neighbor and whenever she let him out he immediately ran to our fence where our dog was, dug under it, and stayed playing until she came to get him. She finally gave up and let us have him. They were both Chows. Another friend who had three Chows warned me against getting another one because her veterinarian told her one kept attacking the other two because it was the leader of their pack.

I know - off topic - but I’m curious.

That pic was taken right after a training session and the puppies were worn out. 😀. The older ones will try and keep the puppies in line. The female gets rough sometimes but obeys commands if I need to intervene.
