They're such pretty cars.

I'm window shopping high end soaps. I can't imagine a better investment than a luxurious hand wash experience.

Didn't drive one (yet) but I think I need to take a closer look. I like it, I think for a DD the regular Ti one would do nicely. Not sure I need the quattro formaggi one even though it sounds really nice.
Karly's Fiat probably could use a tune-up. You could always take it in and test drive a Julia Gulia whilst there.....just sayin...

Service is done at the Dodge dealer down the road, we took a mini detour to check out Giulia Guglia.

I disagree. Saying 'for the first step use bags 1-4, second step use bags 5-8' is more complicated than 'step one bags one, step two bags two'. I do agree, however, that there should be some contents-by-bag list somewhere, so that you know how it should all be arranged for ease of finding pieces.

They could have said 1a 1b 1c 1d and 2a 2b 2c 2d, Use all the bags with a 1 for the first steps, and then get out the bags with the 2 on them.

Then Build this sub assembly: You will need 2 blocks from bag 1a, 3 block from back 1c and a block from bag 1d.

It would have been a little more work for them to write the instruction, but it would have made it WAY easier to find the parts I was looking for at every single step along the way.

I completed the build. It didn't take me THAT long working on it here and there. All I'm saying is, they could have made the experience better.

Half the fun is looking for pieces. You're supposed to appreciate the time spent building it, it's the point of Lego. Hands on toys.
