Well…having a laptop that starts up every time in about 3 seconds is such a luxury after having to fool with the last one for minutes every time just to get it started so I can come here without thinking about it…after I washed the car the other day, as I was pulling it back into the garage, I noticed a spot from an oil leak on the garage floor that was about 6 inches across and I couldn’t figure that out since Miatas are not known to leak oil…so I just went out to check on a hunch I had and it was right…the oil filter had come loose and I was able to turn it a good quarter of a turn by hand to tighten it up…so I’m pretty sure I’ve fixed it and that takes a load off since I’m trying to get it though the winter so I can buy a new car in the spring…a bit of good news…
