Well, regarding number two, I just realized that the guy complaining
about his automatic Miata spinning out on in turns on wet roads was
in the fall Miata Mag I was reading last night and not on the net.
I was confused by all the messages about Bridgestone tires and bad
wet weather traction which have passed by over the last few days.
