Hey Gordon, way to go bud!  Definite plus factor for synthetics and a major
oversight on my part.  Just another sign us southern boys haven't had proper
indoctrination and training in the fine art of cold wx Miata ops.  BTW does
a cup of coffee left overnight in a Miata up there really become super
cooled and instantly solidify when disturbed the next morning? Inquiring
minds and all...  ;o]
