PhobiasWhat gives you the heebie-jeebies?
It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*
Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

Exactly!Actually, I'm not that bitter about Alfa Romeos I'd definitely buy another.
The Alfa 156 had to be redesigned very early on in its life to get the electrics to work properly. Post 1999 cars (the 156 was first sold in the tail end of 1997) have Bosch electrics, designed by Germans who know what they're doing and presumably closely supervise excited latins to make sure they do it properly - in the manner of the WW2 axis, the Germans come to the rescue every time the flaky Italians fuck it up.
Early 1999 cars have Magnetti Marelli electrics, which are cheaply built, hugely, outrageously, massively expensive to buy and have the longevity prospects of Paris Hilton's further education ambitions.
