Spyder.

[Mark_T]

So I stopped by the local stealership today as they have a black Spyder in the showroom and I've only ever seen pictures of them so far.

I take back all the nasty things I said about it. This is a gorgeous car in person and the pics and vids I've seen just didn't do it justice. They had the top on it and it sure looks rain-drivable to me.

Then I sat in it. Probably shouldn't have done that. The seats were a perfect fit and sooo comfortable. I've got the sports seats in my '99 (I believe they came out of an '03), and they don't even remotely compare to these. Wow, what a car.

Then the sales guy - I think they call themselves consultants - comes along and says "So, shall I grab a plate?". It was tempting, but I said no thanks. I'm not really in a position to be able to buy one so a) it wouldn't be fair to waste his time, and b) I didn't want to risk diminishing the pleasure I get from driving my own car, which would have been a real possibility after driving a machine like this.

Anyway, don't judge this car based on pictures and reviews. Go see one for yourself. It really is something.
