When I got my Spyder, I had found out the previous owner who was the only other owner of the car had Ziebart undercoating and rust protection done to it annually since the car came from the dealer lot. I pulled the rear tire well, carpet and back seats and could not find any rust on the other...
Took Haruko out for a spin to stretch her legs a bit. Had a few good rainstorms wash all the salt off the roads the past two or so days and wanted to kick off the driving season early.

Just wanting to say hi to this great community. I've had my dsm since December of 2017, I felt that it was time to make an account here since this site is great for learning how to keep these cars in great shape. I've always dreamed about having one of these cars since I was a real young kid...
