Unfortunately, I took this at dusk but these are the first pictures of my two Spiders together. What's more fun that a Fiat? Two of them!

That shows you're living right. Are you coming down for All Italian Day this year. I'm showing the Spider, now that it is in for paint. When is a good time for a drive? The Spider should be out next week. Talk to you soon.
How do I decide which to drive? That's easy. The red one is my daily driver with 83,000 miles on it. I fixed it up specifically for that purpose...meaning a much less expensive paint job, not as much attention to detail on the restoration, and not worried about everything being "just right." It has standard insurance coverage.
The silver one has 43,000 original miles. I don't drive it often because I spent much more time on details. I have a much more expensive paint job and also have classic car insurance on it so don't drive it much. I'm trying to keep the mileage low. I still occasionally drive it.
Greg...absolutely I'm going! Can't wait to see your car with paint.

Nice pictures! Can you get a close up of the silver car's wheels please? I was thinking just the other day that I'd really like to paint my steelies and do a black behind and silver in front scheme. did you do them yourself or have them done?
i did my wheels the same way. it took a lot of taping and spraying but was well worth the work. i actually had somebody come up to me and say nice "GTO" wheels! referring to the old Pontiac wheels
Nice! did you do specifically the 'top' flat face, if the tire is laid on the ground, as silver? everything else black? what'd you do for the silver? paint or polish?
