As soon as I got my spider everyone told me how it would be in a constant state of disrepair and never start in the rain. And if I washed it I’d have to rebuild part of the loom.
I have had the spider for some time now and it has not gone wrong. Apart from the starter that was dead when I bought it, nothing new has failed. Even after an 8 hour 104 degree highway drive and the fiat held up better than I did on that trip. The temp never goes above 190. Honestly it’s looking like the spider is going to be one of the most reliable cars I have had.
Do these things ever fail?

Re: Do these things ever fail?
If memory serves me correct, had you not bought your car after there had been a rat/mouse sacrifice in it? Perhaps this has made the Fiat Gods happy........................................for now

Still finding and cleaning mouse blood from it.
I guess we have to bring back a Mayan tradition, I'll make a few flint knives.
