 I bought my '97 Spyder used in '99, and 
cannot imagine getting a car I would 
love more if I had paid three times as 
much!  It has served me very well and I 
hope to be driving it for years to 
come.  Even though it is 6 years old 
now, I still get people stopping in 
traffic to comment on how good looking 
it is and asking about what kind of car 
it is, because the old model Spyder is 
also not very common (which I like).  I 
also found it to be very practical for 
my commute.  It and was great even in 
bad snowstorms (with snow tires, I use 
low profile tires in summer).
