Some info on my new Spyder on cost of driving, this is only from the 6 days of owning it.

In Canada...

- Insurance $4k/year (Alberta) with a $15k deductible
- Oil change $500, oil filter $100 and 10 litres of syn oil.
- 2500km tuneup $500 est.
- 12000km tuneup $1200 est.
- 24000km tuneup $4000 est. with new tires

Some estimates of parts prices
- clutch parts and installation $7k
- front brake pads $1k
- windsheild $3k-$4k

Gas mileage on the highway I did an average 13.8mpg, in the city so far I get 9.3mpg. Gas is now around $1.30/litre for premium.

Driving around grinning, PRICELESS!!!
