To all my esteemed friends and colleagues,

     I finally decided to permanently (for the summer) take the wraps off of
Isabella this weekend.  I had been collecting little odds and ends to install
on her for us to enjoy during the warmer months.  Today was the day for some
of those goodies to go in.  While installing the sway bar kit so graciously
supplied to me by our fellow 'netter Randy Stocker,  I noticed that the
plastic piece that holds the bottom of the "chin", with the vertical bars
that attach up behind the "upper lip"  with two plastic phillips type screw
clips,  was broken.  Actually it was Shattered (Sha Doo Be).  

     I was wondering if one of youse guys that installed an intercooler had
removed this part, and it is just laying around collecting dust or something
in your garage.  I would be happy to take it off your hands for a reasonable
sum of money.

     I haven't yet gotten a price from my local dealer, because they aren't
open 'till tomorrow (Mon).  Maybe Tommy or another dealer would like to sell
it to me ?  That's fine with me.  All I want is Isabella to once again smile
at me like she did before this terrible disfigurement.  I vow not to sleep
untill I find the culprit of this heinious crime to humanity.  No turn will
be left unstoned in the search for the.....the animal that spoiled my sweet
babys face.

     On a happier note, I installed the famous (infamous) lights that I
purchased from Garry Hollett.  They are a fantastic improvement over the
stock lights (especially the dead one).  

     Took her out for a ride to see just how well the stabilizer bars worked.

                          It can be described in one and a half words:
                                        G-FORCE !!
     Combine that with the 18 degree timing thing, and I may not ever drive
my Corvette again!!  I know,  I'll sell the Vette to buy a supercharger for
the Miata, and I'll still have enough money left to buy "The Elusive Yellow
Miata" and a turbo for it too!    I promise to buy a 5-speed yellow one to go
with the silver auto I have now.  Hell, maybe I'll even drive one Year
'round! NAH!  (that is going too far)


TIA FIA  or whatever

It's the DataMan................
