Well…just wanted to do a short one on the happenings of the day that had to do with the car….when I went out to get the paper this morning, the belts started shrieking and slipping and did it for about 15 seconds….when it did it again when I went out to run an errand, I remembered that it is a real wheel drive car (a real head slapper) and that it may be packaged so I could get at the belt adjusters without having to jack the car up and crawl under it….like I had to with the MX-6….well….5 minutes later I had both belts adjusted and it was just so cool to be able to do those things on a car again…to be able to use the knowledge that I learned over a lifetime of working on cars….I think I have this mental image of the Miata as an English sports car that had to be worked on just to keep it on the road…but a reliable one….it was fun to work on today….
