All things come to an end, good or not. Sometimes we get to choose; sometimes we don’t know that we’re doing something for the last time until it’s over. In this case, I’ve chosen this to be my last regularly scheduled article for our club newsletter. You can read more in the accompanying article elsewhere in this issue.

As promised previously, let’s talk about the right way to add more power to your Miata. We could all use some more power, right? All those GPS units, cell phone chargers and satellite radios need juice. Wait, you thought I meant horsepower, didn’t you? That’s a whole ‘nother can of worms we’ll open some other day.

We’ll get back to more technical stuff next month, I promise! I’ll share some thoughts about suspension and wheel/tire upgrades and what we’re doing to Jim Miller’s Copper Red ’08 PRHT.

…Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens; Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Oh wait, that’s a different list entirely! Last Saturday, THAT list would’ve included a rain poncho and umbrella since we were standing in the rain at the Arthritis Foundation Car Show. It was a really fun day, in spite of the rain.
