Subject: I got a ticket & SILVER
   Date: Thu, 2 Nov 1995 09:45:00 -0500



Hey everybody just a question and some comments. First, I got a ticket
this morning for "avoiding an intersection." Actually, what myself and
20 zillion others have done for the last year since construction has
started is to turn into a shopping center, go behind it where the road
is paved and wide enough for 3 semi-trucks, and proceed to the exit
onto the street where we actually want to be. This morning I got
pulled over. Although the quote above is what the officer said to me,
the ticket says "cutting across a drive."  Is this a law? Can I really
be fined for this? If so, the city thinks it is worth $82.

Also, I've had my SILVER miata for 5 years now.  Three of those were
in Phoenix and 2 have been in Austin,Tx, and my car paint still looks
brand new. I still get comments from people about my car.  The
dent-less repair place the fixed a dent in my hood from a tree branch
also commented on how good the paint looked. I did have a POLY-GLYCOAT
sealer put on it in Phoenix and I tried to keep it covered (approx 80
% time) but other than that, just routine cleaning. I have noticed
that if it is dirty, it can look pretty dull, and maybe that is what
some of you are seeing. Just a thought.
