     Welcome Bert and Debbie!



     Regarding your bent headlight cover, this happens all the time.

     Especially if you don't keep a sharp eye on the attendants at Jiffy

     Lube (all the more reason to change your own oil)!  Anyway, all you

     have to do is lift the hood and *gently* lift up on the edge that's

     bent.  They'll straighten right up in no time!

For my wife, yesterday, I picked up a 1992 Crystal White, A package, with AC.

It has 37K miles, stock as can be, body good aside from a few door dings,

and mechanically like new.  I bought it for $9700.  I'm in Colorado Springs, CO

for reference.  This is an EXCELLENT price on a car in this condition around

here...



Four slight defects on it, but hey, how much closer to perfection can

you get than a spring day with your Miata top down?  8^}



1) idiot looking wood trim around the center instruments and along

    the doors under the ridge.  Luckily just a few tiny screw holes that can

    probably be vinyl patched, after I took it all off.



2) one slightly bent headlight cover.  VERY slight.  Like someone sat on it.



3) a less than factory perfect, but still decent, new plastic window was sewn

    in sometime recently.  Saves me having to mess with it for a few years

    since the rest of the top is in perfect shape.



4) missing the tray under the stock anti-theft stereo/cassette player.  I didnt

    know it was gone until I took the 'idiot' wood trim panel off.  Who'd a

thunk

    it was missing?  Shouldn't be too hard to replace.



Looking forward to keeping up with all the Miata info/stories on the list.
