I drive mine every chance I get. I drive 100 miles round trip to work sometimes 7 days a week. I do not drive it when its raining but have been caught out in it many times. When I bought the spider I was looking for a work car , I don't ever remember seeing one before that day. I had actualy went to look at a Volvo but didn't want a 4 door and as I was leaving he said he had a Fiat that he would sell. It was love at first sight. Two weeks later it was on the road and has never left me stranded. The wife and I drove through santa land to look at lights last weekend and the view from the spider was great.I have three other vehicles but If I have my way, the Spider is what we are driving every time.

My first car was a pistachio color 128 sedan. Great little car. I would buy another in a heart beat.

With regard to my Spider as a daily driver, it's more of a semi-daily driver since it's a rolling restoration. But I would like it to be once I have the major stuff taken care of, and a new wiper motor. :)
