. . . check.
I didn't particularly want a BMW, but we need a second car for me to drive to work.
People rotating in from the U.S. usually buy a "Naples car" from someone rotating out. Why? Because the natives here believe all rules of the road are optional, and that driving is a contact sport. We don't want to beat our new Escape to death, so the BMW is the sacrificial lamb.
It's a 1997 316i with a 5-speed manual gearbox and drives very nicely. It should get us by for three years, then it's up for sale again.

You mean driving in Italy *isn't* supposed to be a contact sport?
Actually, I think the average Napolitan has an "I'm more important than you are" gene.
BTW, I can't access your blog any longer. Is it down, done, depleted, disposed of?
I think you should bring it home and give it to your daughter. :)
Lol ....I remember Italian driving, 'contact sport' is the best description I have yet heard! ;)
While darling daughter would probably impress her coworkers by arriving in a BMW, It is against the Status of Forces agreement to send it back to the US. It must be resold or scrapped.
