..... after 3,800 miles, 137.311 gallons of gasoline at a cost of $443.81 and an average of 24.7 miles per gallon. We were gone 11 days and didn't drive 3 of those days, 8 days were spent getting to Missoula and then Kalispell in Montana, then Tonasket, Washington and then home. Long trip,...

http://www.gomiata.com/ The price on the Westco battery seems pretty good if you need one, I shopped around when I bought mine and think I had to pay a couple of bucks more.... -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups

Once again I passed my Arizona Emissions test and I didn't even study! <G> Test is $27.75, license fee is $20.19! <Mr. Rogers Neighborhood mode = ON> Can you say, "RIP OFF, boys and girls?" I knew you could! <Mr. Rogers Neighborhood mode = OFF>

Miata PRHT can't hold a candle to the entertainment value of BMW's retractable, it's entertainmant value is amazing! You could set it in your driveway and sell tickets.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6i9hUolKQY&feature=related The word "kludge" comes to mind.... --

Yesterday the 1992 Miata got a bath, charged up the battery (I haven't driven it in awhile, it bothers my knee too much. Time to sell?) and off I go, top up, AC on, AC seemed to cool for a few blocks and then started blowing hot air. Got where I was going and parked for a few hours, going home...

.... starting a day ago. I was also getting the dreaded driveshaft squeak so I called Mike's Place <http://www.mikes-place.biz/> and made an appointment for this AM. They replaced the drive shaft for $100, they'd replaced it four years earlier with a used one and it was long out of warranty...

For the 91st time the Indianapolis 500 is being run w/o one single Miata being entered! Obviously the promoters of the race are being very unfair, next year I think I'll put a cold air intake and racing tires on my 1992 and enter. Meanwhile, I'm rooting for Danica Patrick, she's a local girl...

Mazda looks bad and getting worse.... http://www.theacsi.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=149&Itemid=157&c=Mazda+Motor+Corporation

I overfilled my 1.6, the oil level was down to the add mark and without thinking I dumped in a quart. Checking it cold shows I should have added only about 1/2 quart. Is this going to hurt anything? I wouldn't worry about it in most cars but the sump is fairly small..... I've driven it a...

.... in the curves? http://phoenix.craigslist.org/car/250478601.html

I drove to Anne's for dinner last night around 6:30PM and found the Miata with funny looking white stuff on it, I'll bet the poor little thing never expected that here in Phoenix! I can't recall the last time I saw it snow here and not melt as it landed. Fortunately, Mazda saw fit to intall a...

82F today, no sign of rain in sight, DAMN I was tired of driving with the top up..... I can't believe how much more I enjoy driving with the top down.. here's hoping it'll stay that way for a month or so now.

Went from Phoenix to San Marcos, California last weekend for my sister's birthday, drove over Thursday and came home Sunday. Weird Weather: Two years ago I did the same trip, had the top down, wore fairly heavy jacket and was a bit chilly at times. Passing through Indio it was warm but I...

My Miata is now old enough to do both! Well, maybe. I really don't know the month it was born and do I count date of manufacture or date of original sale? -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project:
