As a MSM owner, I completely understand. I've never had a car with quite
this combination of awesomeness and aggravation. The stock wheels are
terrible. The gearing is ridiculously short. Et cetera. No wonder there
is such a strong aftermarket for these cars.

Oh by the way, I love this car.

Oh, I did "pay attention". I just have never read so much about a
Miata where someone found so many things they did not like about the
car. I guess most owners are positive about their cars. By the way, I
still don't think it is an exaggeration. You are still writting about
all the things you don't like about the car.

That is true. Has it occurred to you that I don't need help or advice about
the things I like?

We can easily fix the things you like, the things you don't like
require a "bigger hammer!"

I didn't think you were asking help on things you LIKED. You were just
talking about things you didn't like. I don't think you need any
advice about your car, it's your money you spent and are complaining
about all the things that bug you about it.

Most of my posts about the things I don't like explicitly asked for advice.
You can re-read them if you like. And some advice has been offered, for
which I'm grateful. One *could* assume that even if I didn't explicitly
ask for advice that was the reason for the post. Or you could assume I'm a
whiner. Whatever.

OK Frank, I will take that as a good post for you. I like to think on
the plus side of things and you are sure free to think and post any
way you care to. Lets pretend that I did not respond to your post and
go on with life.

Frank,

I received your miata pics a while back but I can't reply to emails from
this email address, only the newsgroup. Some setting is messed up and
I'm too lazy to look into it. Anyway, the car looks great!
