What's the weirdest ownership story you have with your Brera?

If you own an Alfa Romeo, you will also experience things that are different from owning a mainstream car. So the Brera has its own unique quirks and stories that owners are likely to remember. These could be funny mechanical oddities, or public reactions not expected. Maybe these are peculiar things involving maintenance rituals, strange electrical gremlins, or lovely surprises that only surface over time. Owners might tell you stories about the car's reaction to certain situations, stories about interacting with other car enthusiasts or stories about when the Brera's character came out. What are the standout, or even slightly odd, or unexpectedly charming moments that make up the Brera ownership experience?
