Edmond - I think that spyder thing originated with the Italian sports cars and spread out into other brands. On the other hand, I left the top down on my "vert" the other night. When I got in it the next morning there was a big ole "spyder" on the passenger seat.

Remo,
I noticed that about Lambo's and Mitsubishi's. They call them spyders.
