Hey, now!

Got a '94 "M" car about a month ago.  It's our 3rd car -- wife doesn't
really  drive a manual  yet, so  my  '84 Olds has  been gathering dust
while I drive the Miata ;-)

I was wondering about changing the oil.  For 20 bucks I can go down to
the local Jiffy-Lube  type  place and have  them  do it.   BUT I  read
somewhere  (here I think)   of a special  little washer  that needs to
(should?) be changed  every time you  open the oil drain plug.  What's
the scoop on  this?  Should I take  it to the dealer  to  change?  I'm
long past doing the oil myself ;-)

Oh, and  I just wanted to  say that I  really like the  chromed up "M"
wheels.  At  first I   didn't really care   --  just wanted  the  nice
blue/green color  and would put  up with any other  options to get it.
But, after cleaning the wheels off so they  shine & using some of that
'tire foam' stuff they really look sharp.  Add  that to the blue/green
color  and the  tan   interior/top and   I  guess  that  explains  why
practically everywhere I go I come back to my car to find at least one
person looking at the car!

ps:  I *definitely* wave ;-)

pps: I *HATE* that stupid front license plate holder.  Makes me want to move
     to Pennsylvania -- to lose the front plate!

ppps:Can anyone point me to a NJ Miata club?
