 Purchased my green/tan Spyder in Texas when I worked at Texas Tech.  Would of course have purchased the Phantom if available (black and red).  Learned early on from a friend I could flip the top back without getting out and have it lock in most instances - no apparent damage.  This made me want to put the top down whenever possible.  Handle - goes where you point it.  Great acceleration leaving cars behind at lights without many RPM.  Criticized for storage but drove it to Maine with enough clothes packed in to work indefinitely.  Really enjoyed running 80 much of the time. OE Bridgestones being replaced at 18k under a warranty that came with the car.  Pondering adding sports muffler.
