I am considering selling my vehicle and using my spyder as my everyday vehicle. I just want to know is anyone using their spyder as their primary mode of transportation?

I ride the Spyder way more often than I drive the car.

It really depends on your life style, and you haven't offered any details on that.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say, in general, I think it would be pretty foolish to get rid of your car.

It's great to ride the spider as much as possible, but shopping at Home Depot bringing home 50 lbs of cement becomes difficult.
Taking the garbage to the dump is uncomfortable.
Taking the grandchildren to a baseball game becomes a challenge.
Going home from the hospital, in the rain, after a colonoscopy becomes a difficult task.

To be sure, none of these are insurmountable. You could plan to rent a vehicle as required. Nevertheless, relying on a Spyder, (or any open air recreational vehicle for that matter) as a sole source of transportation with no backup seems suboptimal.

Just my opinion, but you asked.

The wife and I both use our Spyders for our primary mode of transportation
but we also have a 2015 Ram for when we need to haul heavy stuff and if
the weather is really bad, so I would recommend keeping the car if you can and
riding the Spyder as much as possible. Just my opinion.

My 2013 car has 14,500 miles on it. My two 's, 2011 and 2014 have a total of 45,000 miles on them. I guess I drive the 's more than the car. Greetings from Alaska.
