Never a truer word spoken than the Alfa Owner's Bible by Pat Brayden:

The Italian Tune-Up is No Myth

You've sunk your next five years? paychecks into this sweet Italian beauty and you're not going to abuse it, by golly. You shift at 2500 rpm and never go over 70 mph. To prove your point, the car needs tuning so often now that if you really put your foot into it you're sure something would explode. That's Italian cars for you.

Somewhere, right now in Italy, someone's driving exactly the same car as yours. His right foot is pressed firmly to the floor, where it has been for the last three hours. The rubber on the brake pedal shows no perceptible wear. The speedometer and tachometer are both trying to bury themselves offscale. His arms are weary from cranking the wheel back and forth as he negotiates the mountain roads. His eyes gleam and his heart is glad for he has never once had cause to do more than regular maintenance to his thoroughbred of a car that has uncounted kilometers on its engine. He's right and you're wrong!"
