Even with our own BELOVED little SPYDERS, it all comes down to the ALMIGHTY FREAKIN DOLLAR for those spicey managers...(some)they do NOT CARE about loyalty or building a relationship, I have been trying just that with my local Fiat of Melbourne,FL., he has been the only one in 3 years to EVER pull up/down her panties and I would like to keep it that way. AND, I know this is all in MY HUMBLED OPINION and very likely to be wrong..There are MANY MANY MANY respectable technicians that know what the word "NO" means....
Hate to break it to you, but you own a SPIDER. :)

It’s been proven, that the spelling of spider spyder is dependent on geography. So no fighting! Also spyder is more common amongst German vehicles.

Really..............I mean REALLY......You wasted 5 seconds of your life to let someone know they misspelled a word. I think you should read YOUR post again, because it makes no sense what so ever....EH.!
Really..............I mean REALLY......You wasted 5 seconds of your life to confirm you don't understand what you're talking about. lol

But because I care, I'll spend another five seconds to educate you, because what I wrote does make sense? In the car world, there are two terms used for soft-tops... Spyders and Spiders. They're not interchangeable.

Italian convertibles are typically named Spiders, simply because the letter Y doesn't exist in the Italian language. Other countries will brand their soft-tops as Spyders. It's really as simple as that. Here's an article on the topic from Autotrader that discusses it a bit, but you can find similar info with a quick Google search. You'll be happy to see that their article uses a photo of one of your cars at the top of the page. Autotrader - page unavailable

You're welcome, eh? :)
