I just have to know!,  If I got into your miata to drive it, would I see an
old fashoined knob labeled 'choke' in the dash that I had to pull out?

regarding plate butchering,  it reminds me of a case about ten years ago
where someone from New Hampshire "live free or die"  didn't like the state
motto and covered it with black electrical tape, got a ticket and fought it
to the state's supreme court.  I don't remember what the decision was.
