i am not the one to email too much info
but the list is way cool

the mx5 is a auto that is unsurpassed in the industry

i just got done driving in the upstate n.y. 40 degree temps
with the top down and hate for winter to come

winter time is a razor blade that the devil made ...it is the price 
we paid for the summer time...........................

the list is something to go to the pc for

thanks for all involved..........!!!!

95lp 
drives like new.....
