Living in Cincinnati Ohio at the time (Aug 2002) I bought a 1984 Pininfarina Spider from Las Vegas Nevada... flew out and drove her home! ... all » Going through Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio... whew! It was a 2,187 mile trip with ZERO trouble and only 1/2 quart of oil. This was my second (Fiat Spider 124 / Pininfarina Spider), the first I one I owned for only two years back in the early 1980's was a 5k mile 1982 Fiat LEMON. The worst car I've ever owned! Well since almost twenty years had passed... to where I had forgot the "bad times", I dove into this one fully optimistic... and she has been a ball to own! Nothing like the first experience.. thank GOD :O) Since my trip to Vegas back in August 2002, we have moved and brought along my Pininfarina to Tallahassee Florida for almost two years (way too hot for us!)... and then just this past Thanksgiving 2006, we moved to Bigfork Montana! Yes... MONTANA! More pictures will be on the way with some video too as soon as the "sports car weather" here in Montana breaks! Ok, I can here the jokes now... yes, "All two weeks of it!" :O) Ciao! -Kent

The Spider is a great car, among the most satisfying sports tourers. There's nothing extreme about it—except that it's an extremely well-balanced, well-executed design aesthetically and technically, so it retains its appeal and just laughs at the years. I kept my new '73 for 14 years. Now I have an '82. My eyes love it! Come bella!
