Okay, let's see if this will result in a lot of flame mail or if y'all 
are really friendly fellow miatiates,

I have been reading and trying to thread the listserver for about a week 
and I think I may be ready for this; we'll see.

One of the first things is to introduce myself...I'm Porter in Memphis, 
Tn. I have a 95 red, but I don't know what it is as far as a B or C or 
whatever... I bought it in September and like all others I see here..I 
LOVE my Miata. It has a cloth interior; AC, and,  I think, alloy wheels. 
I am ususlly not so stupid in other matters, but like a non-connoisseur 
wine type; I know what I like...and don't care what it is! 

Just so I won't be so ignorant in future conversations, does anyone know 
what my Miata is? Again; it has AC, silver spoke wheels, PS, PB, PW, 
Cruise, radio, power antenna, & headrest speakers. I added halogen lights 
in the grille 'cuase I hate the way it looks when its eyes are open! I 
hope to install another type of lighting system, but havn't found the one 
I want yet as a bolt on. Actually, I want to have some Honda type bullet 
lights installed ala the Miata Roadster.

I formerly owned a Jensen Healey (in a former life) and ever since had 
been in want of another roadster. I started out to buy a TR-6, but mama 
wanted the creature comforts since it was to be *her* car. Well,  she 
picked the red (I wanted the black or the new *green*). She said Red 
suited her better. We got red. A week later, she said I could have it... 
it was too much trouble, shifting, putting the top up & down and all, but 
she would still drive it sometimes. Man, now I was really *upset*! You 
mean I *gotta* drive this baby (heh-heh-heh)? 

So far I have just enjoyed driving it. I don't put many miles on a 
vehicle 'cause I work at home and usually go to the bank or PO on 
errands. We took a weekend getaway to a resort last summer, but nothing 
since then. Looking forward to the top-down weather again.

I have subscribed to the mag, miata.net and am looking for other places 
to get into conversations with others re these things of passion. 

One curiousity; why do I see so few people/addresses in the south? Most 
seem to be either North or West. And, no...it's not cause you can't put a 
gun rack in the back!!!

C'mon you rebels..gimmie a howdy!
