Last night my roomie/friend's new guy came over. Conversation went like this:
Him: Who's black car is that out there?
Me [beaming]: That's my baby!
Him: A Spyder?
Me [pausing due to confusion]: Nope it's a Honda S2000.
Him: Yeah, Spyder.
Me: Are you maybe thinking of an MR2 Spyder?
Him: No, a Honda Spyder.
Me: Honda doesn't make a Spyder.
He then went on to tell me that he got 280hp out of his Cavalier. Rrrrrrrreally.

Honda does make one, and the S2000 is it.

I'd say that there actually IS a JDM version, but it's slower.

"Spider" = convertible.
Honda does make one, and the S2000 is it.

Spyder is a synonym for convertible or roadster.

"The term "Spyder" originated from a small two-seat horse-cart with a folding sunshade made of four bows. With its black cloth top and exposed sides for air circulation, it resembled an eight-legged spider."

I was going to the Phillies game with my dad last Friday and we saw one driving (a Silverstone). Here's how the conversation went:
Dad: Look, there's your car.
Me: Yeah, I see it.
Dad: That must be an automatic.
Me (perplexed and incredulous): Are you serious?
Dad: Oh I didn't know they only made them in manual.
Me:
Dad, you used to work on cars and had some pretty badass rides when you were younger. What happened??
