Well, I caved in, and am back on three wheels. A basic white 2014 RT SE6 - out the door at a price you would not believe. A new dealer here wanted to earn the business of some of us who have had experience with the Spyder line. Looks like a winter of farkeling..... Basically, I hated the rims on the new "S", and the other stuff isn't necessary.
Next stop is to visit John at Seal Floorboards......
