Beat down like a bad dog!

Changed the oil in the spyder. All good there. Decided to tackle changing the air filter. Yeah, after about 1.5 hours of trying to figure out how to get to the damn thing WITH the service manual, I decided that I will be paying the dealer to do it. What a joke!

Yup. Shows different models, but not this one. I decided to stop before I start breaking plastics.

Just an engineering marvel to the amount of crap you have to remove just to get to it. If you can figure out where all the bolts, tabs, plastic pieces are hiding.

I like it, like the wild look, and not much of the neighbors showing.

That's what I got when I finally put some gas in my Chevy pickup last week. 13. I figure I spent 5-7 mpg at red lights.
