Thanks, all. I downplay the car primarily because people think it's much more expensive than it actually is. I joked with one neighbor that it's the least expensive car on our street. Another neighbor was present and claimed that title belonged to his 1967 Rolls Royce.

The only record I keep, aside from maintenance, is a running log of, well, running. Cars don't like to sit (especially ones with oil pressure activated valves -- look up FIAT's MultiAir system) so I start it up and let it run at least every three weeks during the annual winter sit.

That video is pretty much spot on. There are dozens of such reviews, and even the critical ones have some nice things to say. The Spider shown is the Lusso (luxury) model while mine is the Abarth (performance), and it has the optional headlamps my Spider lacks. I don't drive it at night often, so they're not really missed.

I know you downplay the car as nothing special but to me that is one mighty nice sporty looking car. And I love the catchy title. Paul

Nice capture..
In Minnesota, we used to keep track of "Ice Out" on the big lakes.
Do you keep records of "Opening Day" ?
