Dave, the unit works fine and payment is on the way. It's that spirit which makes me proud to be a subscriber to Miata.net, as well as a Miata owner.

They even mention another nice extra there: this setting maximizes the turbulences on the passenger side, which might come handy depending on what passenger you have ... I have to disagree that the "both windows up" position is for LeBaron drivers and such. If you go for top speed top down, this is the setting with the least drag. And, above 120 mph, it will muss your hair. For sure.
