    I've been thinking about making a large white lace bra for my 
Red '92. It would have two large cups which would fit on the pop-up 
headlights, and straps running up the sides of the windshield and 
around to the back, with a large bra-hook right behind the license 
plate. Problem is I can't find a source for watermelon-sized rubber 
breasts to fit on the headlights. Also, would this be street-legal? 
And on the aesthetic side, would you reccomend a sport design, or 
the padded underwire style?

Seriously folks, I have been putting off spending the $40 on a front-
end grill for a while, and yesterday I made my own for free. I had 
some leftover black plastic screen stuff made for keeping leaves out 
of gutters, and I realized that it was just the right width to squeeze 
into that wonderful hole in the front of my car. I trimmed a piece to 
shape, cut slots for the tie-downs to poke through, and slapped it in 
place, gently curving the top and bottom edges in to give it a convex 
contour. I then cut two more small pieces, rolled them into tight 
cylinders, and thrust them through the tie-downs to hold the larger 
piece in place. Looks great, and is easily removed & replaced. If I 
can find some sort of white paint that will stick to the stuff, I'm 
going to make several of them with various illustrations to suit my 
various moods - maybe a fish symbol to wear when I'm visiting my born-
again friends, and shark teeth for just about everwhere else.

    I spent last week on Assateague Island off the coast of Maryland. 
Saw tons of Miatas in Ocean City, quite a few on the highway between 
Pittsburgh and the coast, but NONE on Assateague itself.  Maybe too 
much potential for lip-print damage from the wild ponies. Camping 
on the beach was nice, but it sure feels good to get the hell out of 
the V***ger and back into Little-Red-Face.
