A Spider with some Tastefull Modifications

Why didn't I think if this:

Check out the second picture, it' got a roll bar and luggage rack. Bubba looks real pleased with his ride.

Am I the only one to get almost angry when I see a Spider getting butchered like this? No offence to Bubba, I know he's enjoying himself as I should too if I was at his place. And I know sometimes it's too late to rebuild them. But there isn't millions of Spider left and seeing another one that won't ever go on the road again pinch my heart. I know, I'm too sentimental. :cry: :wink:

No, it's not just a car grumpy fiat218. It's a passion. I thought you already knew it? If it's just a car you're looking for, take a Pontiac Firefly convertible. Will cost less, especialy in gas. :D

It's all about personal freedom, and true tolerance, both of which are unfortunately fading away in our society, to the detriment of all.

Wow, how can a thought might be misinterpreted. All I said is that I'm sad to see another Spider that won't hit the road ever. I'm not telling people what to do or not. I'm doing myself some modifications on mine that may be repulsive to others or puristes. Don't care. Everyone is free. But I'm free to be sad. :wink:
