    I almost ran with that one, too! Thinking man, an F-3 could be closer than I imagined.

    Default I had (and loved) a 2010 Voyager

    But... a dog decided to help me total it, and I went with a 2014 White RT Limited.

    Congrats - once you adapt to the new feel and how the Spyder turns, you'll never look back.

    Sounds like we will get along fine, but afraid they didn't give me anything for her since I have had her for 42 years. Will post pics after I pick up Spyder.
