Subject: '92 trunk security
   Date: (none)

I went on a rafting trip last weekend, and lo and behold there was 
another miata in our group, '92 red, just like mine.  Once the trip was 
over and people were changing clothes for the ride home, my fellow 
Miatan managed to lock his key in the trunk.  He also keeps his center 
console locked.  But he quickly discovered that the lock on the center 
console is made of 0.5 lb tensile strength plastic.  He easily popped 
the console open, used the trunk release, and retrieved his key.  
Needless to say, his console doesn't lock any more.

I keep a substansial (40) CD collection in the spare tire in my trunk, 
and I'd just as soon have it stay there.  Before I start exploring of 
my Miata with a pliers and screwdriver this weekend, has anybody else 
diconnected the center console trunk release on a '92?  Where did you 
do it? Is it easily reconnectable?
