What cars do you drive and why? I drive a Subaru J12, basically, because I’m paying for a private college, so I can’t buy anything better for now…
Are you a real passionate for Alfa Romeo? I think yes, Ant knows it, sometimes I recognize Alfas faster than him

. And, I know I’ve said Alfas aren’t sexy, that are just cars, but I know the real difference between a plain car, and a beautiful one. Since my journal through AlfaOwner, I obviously increased my general knowledge about cars. For example, now I know if a car has 190 HP, I know is fast, some time ago I didn’t
What or how started your passion for Alfa Romeo and…
… do you think its fundamental to own one to have the passion?
Really, when I first started to post in AO I didn’t knew a thing about cars, less about Alfas. I think with the time I spent here the passion just grew on me. Now Alfas and AlfaOwner are a big part of my life, I can’t imagine my work hours without AO

I have great friends here too. And because of that, I think NO, it’s not fundamental to own one to have the passion. You can admire them and like them, and I know it would be better if you own it, but it’s not fundamental.
What do you like most about Alfas?
Design, I love the design of Alfas! As I don’t know much about performance, even I know they are good, but I love the 147 design, it’s really

and the 156.
What do you like least about Alfas? I dislike the fact that they break down
What would be your dream cars? A 147 J or a a Volvo S80
What car would you least like to have? Mine… j/k I would hate to have a Kia or a Fiat
For you, what’s the most popular thread on AO? There are quite a few. I think the chat room thread has to be listed, the on topic – off topic was a popular one, the greatest angry list, and every thread started by a new female AO…
What would be your ideal drive in an Alfa (destination, passenger, driving music, etc)?
Would be driving a 147, destination would be a smooth road in Canada, passenger, would be Ant, but I don’t know if he would be willing to ride with me, music, the Enchanted album of Stevie Nicks, I can picture myself listening to Edge of Seventeen or Rock a Little
Any humorous Alfa or car-related stories you wish to share with us?
I love when people can’t find the door handle when they try to get in the car… it’s fun J
What interests do you have outside of Alfas? I’m a musical soul, I love music, listening to it, and spending some time thinking with a nice background sound. I received guitar classes, I play guitar every now and then. I like to read, mostly filosophicall realated things, or quantum stuff, like thermodinamics and the use of energy. I love to know how things work, what the universe is made of, or what’s going to happen with us. I also like Politics, and knowing how things really work.
I also paint and draw, mostly nude woman, but just because I like bodies and faces, and I can draw that very easily, I see the body as an art, a perfect art piece.
Tell us something nobody knows about you. (e.g. special skill, ever been on TV, etc)
Nope, I have never been on TV. I have appeared a couple of times in the newspaper.
Nobody knows, I was with a model agency a couple of years ago, but I didn’t accepted to work with them then, because the jobs were not good enough
What do you like most about Alfaowner forum? Any favourite threads, episodes or posts you wish to share?
What I like most about AO, is the Alfa Owners, yes, the people, they are incredible, hillarious, so different, and original. I enjoy sharing with them.
My favorite thread would be, the guess the beautiful AO (or something like that), where was the sitting on the wall picture of me. It was fun, specially because they guessed from the start, and we messed around with them, not telling it was me, and… I liked it.
I also liked the God realated thread, where everyone shared a little about their believes, I don’t know if someone remember that thread, but I liked it.
Also, I liked to argue with Rarebear, about political stuff. I like to do that, and listening (reading) to different points of view about the 9/11 stuff, the WW2, etc. etc.
Does being a woman among so many men affects the way you express your opinions about cars?
Sometimes, I can’t even express my opinion about cars because I don’t know what they are talking about

And being a woman, I think it doesn’t affects me
