Doug, I was wondering what your height/build was for purposes of getting in and out? What are your thoughts on these. I think it would be cool if other owners would do the same to give an idea. I am 6'1" medium/thin build, and want an idea on fitting inside the car. Thanks, and congrats on driving your new Spyder. It's that much fun huh? lol.

Hey Jake! I'm about 5-11 and 175 lbs. Slight middle aged paunch;) I'm still pretty flexible so I usually just climb in without opening the door. Same on exit. Really makes people laugh when you stand up and walk out of your car!

Sorry for taking so long to post pics up. I had a photoshoot a month ago in an Historic Village/County park and I'm still waiting to get the shots from the Photographer. I should have something by next week. I'll post them up as soon as I get them!

On another note....more issues.....
I have the wide five wheels with four wheel disks from CB Performance. Last week I started to hear a "clunk" every time I hit a bump. When I got home I found I could grab the passenger rear wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and move the tire 1" back and forth! I thought it was a bad wheel bearing but it turned out to be that the cast iron core separated from teh aluminum outer casting!
Rick at CB immediately and with no question sent me a new hub assembly. I sent the separated one back and Rick is having it analyzed to see what's happening.
