Dear Greg,
Are you certain that you have to store your Miata outside?  My husband
and I save up every year to put furniture in our living room, and every
year, our living room intentions are swayed.  This year, our savings
turned into Miata SUs: what do you think our '91 Red would look like
with a coffee table in front of it?
