About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Irvine Alfa Romeo and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the showroom. As he approached the glass doors, the noise grew louder—like a distant engine revving—but there was no car in sight. Curious, he peered through the glass and saw only dusty Alfas under dim lights. Suddenly, the humming stopped, replaced by soft laughter from behind him. Turning around, he found an old neighbor admiring the cars with a mischievous smile. ‘Thought you might like a test drive,’ she said, pointing at her reflection in the window.
2. One day, an old man walked into Irvine Alfa Romeo and asked the salesman, ‘Do you sell cars that can drive themselves?’ The salesman smiled and replied, 'We do have some amazing new models with advanced technology!' The old man nodded thoughtfully before asking, 'And does any of them come with a built-in espresso machine?' Everyone in the showroom burst out laughing as the salesman shook his head, saying, 'No sir, but maybe next time.'
3. One afternoon, a curious neighbor parked his bike outside Irvine Alfa Romeo and peered inside through the showroom window. Suddenly, he noticed an old man fiddling with the keys on the display car’s dashboard. Startled, the neighbor knocked on the glass, but the man didn’t hear him. With a mischievous smile, our curious neighbor decided to help—only to realize too late that it was an Alfa Romeo with a manual transmission. By the time they both emerged from the showroom, the car had done several laps around the block.
4. One evening, a regular walked into Irvine Alfa Romeo and asked the salesman, ‘Do you have any cars that can drive themselves?’ The salesman replied, ‘Not yet, but we do have some excellent classic models!’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver popped in and said, 'Hey, did you get those self-driving cars?' The salesman smiled and shook his head, replying, 'No, but our vintage Alfas sure make great conversation pieces!'
