The same thing goes for the supercharger.  After driving with the supercharger 
for a few months, I'd begun to feel like it was no big deal.  Until I disabled 
it one day to troubleshoot a noise under the hood.  I was driving a stock Miata 
once again.  Wow.  That woke me up to the beauty of the supercharger again!
