    Great video and thank you for the update on your daily. 50,000 trouble free miles is a heck of a lot better than most VW and Audi products of a similar age and mileage, so you guy's made a good choice.

    To all the usual Maserati haters: stop hating and love these beautiful cars! Another youtuber (M539) just bought a 2013 Quattroporte V8 GTS with 200,000 miles and the engine is perfect with no internal wear. Try that on a BMW N63 and let me know how it goes...😂

    Glad it’s giving you a nice ride and good runnings. Just like the Alfa Romeo , they used to be money oits but the new ones I hear run good but their old reputation lingers , I read one guy needed a non essential part and it took three months to get the part sent from over seas but that was during Covid when everything was hard to get , the problem is not many dealers so yes it’s hard to get things if you buy one and live in the dessert. But glad you have a good running vehicle.

    You have a creaking noise coming from the rear suspension, particularly when raising or lowering suspension or going over speed bumps? Thinking it is a busing but not sure which one is the likely culprit. No dealer anywhere near where I live. It is a creak, not a squeak, if that makes sense.

    Fortunately for you, you're lucky enough to be married to the Car Wizard who I know takes very good car of all your cars. They can be good and dependable daily drivers if and only if the proper steps are taken in terms of upkeep and maintenance along the way and at the appropriate intervals. If it weren't for the car wizard being a factor of the equation then I'm guessing you probably wouldn't be driving around in one of these vehicles all the time. That's actually pretty decent for 50k in 2 and a half years on one of those cars! Like I said they can be made reliable, and really any car can be, so long as you know how to deal with them.
