I'm going to wash etc. on Friday and take her out for a nice long
drive. That should help get her over her shyness. <g>

No, I meant the uniform matrix of hyaline cartilage. :-)

The American Heritage dictionary definition seems to indicate that the
term would not apply to something that is both glassy and opaque.

"adj.
Resembling glass, as in translucence or transparency; glassy.

I hate car buzzers, but my radio telling me hello could be cool.

In fact, I would like a "yes man" system installed that constantly
complimented my driving skills, no matter how poorly executed.

"That sir, was a perfect line through the curve". "One of the best
downshifts ever accomplished!". "Perfect take off, as usual".
Things like that....

Eric,
There is a Right Side and a Left Side to the car. There is no "Wrong"
side to a Miata! :-)

to three weeks ) I hope to look you up. Bruce

Mine does that. My '92 has an AM/FM Cassette 6 CD changer from a late
model Tribute, having it say "Hello" was quite a surprise when I got it
installed and turned it on, I didn't know they did that....

One of my previous insurance companies refused to write insurance on a Miata
if it had a rollbar. (or a radar detector, or a turbo, etc)
(Changed insurance companies, dropped the premium by almost 50%) Turbo
system is listed as altitude compensation device.

Strange, I have never had an insurance company ask me about any of that,
just my driving history, where the car is usually parked, and whether it
has an alarm or not.

Altitude compensation device, heh.

Well, what boost are you running and what is your home's altitude? Just
to make sure with my standard atmosphere tables.

The only thing better than a white Miata is two white Miatas

Well Pat, That's all a blower is ! Be it a supercharger, "belt driven"
or "exhaust driven" it allows the intake system to go above 30 inches of
manifold pressure.

Sounds good, just let me know beforehand - I'll be travelling a fair bit in
November.
