    Default Sorry I can't find other post..

    Yesterday I was in a parking lot and a gentleman came over and said he liked what I was driving (my spyder).

    He looked under the spyder and said he had been to a can am dealer and they had a similar 'bike'; but, it had 3 wheels in the front and asked who made mine. I thought for a second that this person couldn't read b/c my spyder says can am and spyder on it . My mistake, I forgot when the new graphics were put on the can am and spyder graphics were removed.

    However, I assured him that what he saw at the can am dealer was 2 in the front and 1 in the back. He appeared not to believe me and left.

    Maybe it was one that had been rear ended!

    Must have been drinking that day...

    I had a lady ask me a few months back where did I get the "body kit" for mine. Turned out her husband rYdes a RS and thought mine was a converted version, not knowing that the RT's came out.

    Had someone outside a bar last week (who had been drinking) keep saying-- it's like a trike but with 3 wheels in the front.....

    it's hard not to take the p### sometimes, had a guy asking about my RS Sm5 and we had just finished talking about the size of the drive belt and then he asked "is it front wheel drive?" It would have been to easy to say no it's all wheel drive

    Default What????

    Stopped at Lowes the other day. Guy came up and asked about the . How I liked it, handling, mileage etc. I told him what he wanted to know. Then, just as he was leaving, he hit the jackpot. "Will it run like my Miata?"
