I think he was mesmerized by the Aqua Blue Spyder.

Wild turkey are a very successful species. I have started to see populations of them in Iowa and in the mountains of Colorado that I do not recall from 10-15 years ago. Nice car too!

Thanks. This was either southern Oregon or Northern California. Amazing roads zig sagging between I5 and Hwy 1.

Yeah if he had a middle finger I think he would have used it.

Fellow Spyder owners, what do you think about this as a battery choice? It's the same price as an interstate.

That's a good choice for a battery. I installed an Odyssey with Rennline mount earlier this year and it has performed flawlessly. I also noticed that it holds a charge much better than a standard lead acid battery. I have gone two weeks without driving the car or charging it and when I hook up the charger I see that the battery still has a full charge. Impressive.

So the battery I posted needs a special mount too then correct? Is the Odyssey lightweight as well? Internet says it's 26 lbs the other one claims 15lbs.

The Braille will need a special mount also, it is shown in your link.

The Odyssey is lighter but not as light as the Braille. I preferred the mounting arrangement of the Odyseey which didn't require any modification to the car, I'm not sure if the Braille needs modification or not. Here's the link with more details: https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...w-weights.html
