Well my friends, I've been reading your posts for six months now, but as an outsider - not worthy enough to post without a Maser of my own.

But that all changed today when I matched PacificaBeach's purchase with my own buy of an '04 Spyder with just under 6K miles for $45K. Triple black with white stitching, red calipers, Skyhook, Xenon, pretty much everything except for no Nav. It is suwheeeeet! I think I'm going to sleep in the garage tonight.

Anyone coming to "The Gallery" event here in Detroit that they are putting on before the auto show next week? I wrangled a couple of tickets to it and can't wait to check out the GranTurismo.

well done michmas. I picked my '06 Spyder up for Thanksgiving (something I give thanks for every day) and have never been happier with any car purchase. You will absolutely love the car...and nice selection on the colors...

Love this car!

Thanks for the nice words. If I can get some pics before the next snow hits (which may be tomorrow) I will post.

No problems with it so far, except that when I first start it up cold and go, it seems to sputter a bit in first gear. The seller told me I should let it run for a couple minutes to warm up and I am thinking he may be right. Is that other people's experience, or can you fire her up and go?

Does your Spyder have the engine indicator? I read to let it run until that goes out. Seems to vary a bit (between cold and warms starts) on how long it illuminates. I would say from 1-3 min.

My pics!

A few pictures I took yesterday. I just realized I need to take down the Christmas wreath!
