Miata Mailing List: August 1998, Message #168

sponsored by

Hello, I just joined this mailing list yesterday and thought I would 
introduce myself.  I am a thirty-something wife going through my second 
childhood, I guess, wanting a very "un-needed" addition to our family.  
With two kids, a Miata is definitely not a logical choice, but, I tease 
them, I want a two seater to get AWAY from them!  

I've been looking at sportscars and the newest miata really caught my eye. 
 I love the body styling.  Only wanting it in Yellow, I see I would have to 
go with a '92.  My husband would rather see me get a 1999 model (including 
the warranty! so he doesn't have to work on it) but I have always dreamed 
of a little yellow convertible.....  Is it smart to follow my heart and go 
with an older car when he is offering me a new one?!  I don't know...

My husband and I run an automotive/towing business from our home.  He only 
works on domestic cars, but is very supportive of my choice of a MAZDA (for 
god's sake! he always adds <G>)  I guess that old dog will just have to 
learn some new tricks!

I also run my own machine quilting business, in my "free" time (ha!), in 
between tow-jobs/bookwork/kids/housework/a bunch of pets!

So I'll just be hanging around in the background here, reading all your 
posts, and trying to contain my excitement.  It looks as though it might be 
spring before we actually make a purchase, so it's going to be a long 
winter.....
