Electrical Puzzle by
Robbi
As of late, my 1990 Miata developed a strange quirk: Occasionally, after starting the car, the electric windows and the blower wouldn't work. The other electric accessories (radio, lights, lighter socket, etc.) work fine.

snow birds! by
Art McGinn
As a Californian trepidatiously headed into the teeth of snowy winters in
the Pacific Northwest with our '91 Miata, I was pleased to learn from
northern list members that a Miata can tame snow -- if not too much snow for
the little fella. Like more than five inches or so. The Nokian RSI winter

for a good 30K miles. Now, however, the crack has reappeared and
extends to the bottom of the...

It's been a while, I'm sure some of you recognize my name. But it's
been too long with everything I've been up to, so most of you may not.
