It would be awesome to get a GA group to roll out with, not saying any of the cars may develop problems or anything :D

i would like to try to make it. but i might have to trailer my craftsman lawn tractor behind the spider in case i break down so i can use it to pull the spider back home. i'm still tender footing with the spider because i have only logged 100 miles on it since i bought it in march. it seems like the butt squats on slightly hard acceleration. i haven't had a chance to get her on a lift to nose around. i cant lay on my back under the car since i had a bad wreck in 2001. i think it messed with my vertigo or something. i'm under it for two minutes and i get dizzy and sick.

I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to crawl under your car to see if you have a problem. It seems we're crawling under, over or around one Fiat or another. :wink:

must appreciated! i get so frustrated because i was a mechanic for many years (cars to Ski-doo's to 18 wheelers) and now i struggle to even work on my own vehicles. i had to go out and get a desk job because mechanic work doesn't pay anymore and my back and knees finally gave out!

I smell a Tech Day in the near future! Maybe we can get a few of us together in your area sometime this fall. Come on up to Winston-Salem for Dixie Fiatfest and we can make plans.

No, sorry, won't be making it this year. But every Spider owner must make this event at least once in their ownership lifetime!
