My first trip in the Spyder, from SE in Bremen to NYC, my shift linkage broke about 3 miles from home. I fixed it with a small screwdriver I had with me. About halfway home from getting a tuneup two years ago, parts of my carb linkage came apart and it started running in two cylinders. Pulled over, popped the clamshell, and fixed it with a small crescent wrench I had with me, made it home.
My Spyder is the only vehicle I own that could have made it home under its own power.
