I can see now why you've won no friends on the Mazda list.... <big grin>
BTW, did you know that Moss Motors now has a Miata catalog?

I think it's something to do with Miata air-conditioning.... The owners
never seem to feel the need to take the top down. <g> Kind of lets the
outside in when one does that. <g>

Here's one more... in Austin this weekend, for the first time ever, I
saw a Miata with part of the passenger door and right rear quarter all
stove in, and its owner probably hadn't the resources to get it fixed,
because it was well-rusted in the places where the paint was missing.
First thing which came to mind was, "hey, now it's starting to look like
some of the British cars I've owned!" And the second thing about it I
noticed was that he had the top up. <g>
Cheers.
