I am happy to report that here in Georgia, there seems to be an increase in Spiders hitting the road. At least I am spotting them with increasing frequency. There is a very nice green, pre-75 and an all original blue 82 that I see pretty regularly around work - followed the 82 a few months back and encouraged the owner to join the forum.
This weekend I actually saw 2 Spiders on the road. A very nice red one with tan interior, luggage rack, original chrome hub caps, big bumpers - so I'm guessing it was a 75-77. Saw this one in Conyers, Ga. - Does this belong to a forum member?
And then saw a beige one, looked like an early 80's going the opposite direction down HWY 78 near Stone Mountain.
I hope that others are seeing the same "trend" in other parts of the country. I would love to think that more Spiders are being put back into service

Brady,
Used to live and work in Conyers. We were there this weekend for my son's soccer. I'd love to find out who owns the Spider I saw there. It looked like it was very well cared for.

Seeing more spiders on the road?
After months of snow, sand and salt I am happy just being able to see the road again!

Craig,
What a coincidence! I saw the same black Spider yesterday. It was being towed by a maniacle looking fellow that looked to me like a typical "addiction enabler"
Paul was really psyched when he saw the car - it's gonna make a great Lemons car!
