Hmmm. Here in the San Jose area, Miatas are quite ubiquitous. If you 
wave at every Miata you see, your hands never touch the steering wheel!

ObHeatsheilds: I'd like to thank you guys for talking about how your
exahust heatshields have come loose. My Miata got a sympathetic reaction,
and now its heat shield is loose. I get a real icky rattle at 37-4000 rpm.
How are these things held on? Did I lose a nut or bolt or something? Sould
I get under there and fix it myself or take it in under warranty (I'm at
34000 mi)?
