Reply to "550 Spyder Replica Wanted"

Yeah, this thread is about Martin and a Spyder.

What the heck does ingress/egress of a Speedster, a coupe, and a Honda have to do with this? NOTHING at all, that's what.

Back in mid-2010s with my old car, there was a certain well-known guest at Carlisle who'd never ridden in a Spyder. I tried to explain how to get in, but Mr. Know-it-all got in like it was a Speedster. Proceeded to scratch the heck out of the cockpit bulkhead and then plop into the seat, as the door sills are a LOT higher. The doors are also shorter in length from hinge to latch.

Getting in and out of a Speedster is almost civilized. Getting in and out of a Spyder is like putting clothes on, as in you wear a Spyder more than merely getting in.
