Someone asked:  To get the Miata Magazine, join the Miata Club of America.

The Miata Club of America

Dues $25 per year US, $35 foreign.

The magazine claims "...the word 'miata' is a German expression for 'high
reward'."  I know German pretty well, and I never heard of it, which
doesn't really prove anything.  My Cassell's dictionary never heard of it,
either.  The only thing in the dictionary that starts with "mia" is
"miauen," to mew or caterwaul.  To me, miata sounds maybe Italian, any
Italian experts out there?  Or anybody that knows "miata" in any language?
Could be totally made up.

We live in soggy Illinois, and haven't had any radio problems yet.
