#2405 of 4340 Top "up or down" when parking by smars Jun 21, 2002 (3:22 am)
I use a tonneau and just leave the top down most of the time (it hasn't been up since mid April). I got cought in a thunder shower while parked once, and don't believe any water got in. I do leave a rolled up towel over the console just in case, and I also try to park on an incline (sloping away from the windshield).

Do yourself a favor and take the three seconds to put up your top. People who don't deserve to live often have fun placing things in your car that don't belong - gobs of spit, lit cigarettes etc. Also, birds. Birds just don't have the same respect for nice cars as we do   As for an alarm, opinions differ. I've got something better then an alarm... it's called insurance. I also never, ever leave anything worth anything in the car.

I like freddy's advice, being the daily driver that he is. Leave the valuables at home. Every CD in the car is a copy from the original at home so I don't worry about losing them.   If I'm just running into a store, the top stays down. If I plan on being more than a half an hour it goes up to discourage tampering.
#2408 of 4340 Home from the operation. by bjrich Jun 21, 2002 (11:49 am)
Twenty four hours covering the disc=ectomy and am home. hurting all over and need time to recoup and get back into my re -hap program in 10 days .Mrs. BJrich helped me wash the Crystal Blue. She is a dear one. Had a difficulte time entering but exiting was okay.. Hope to take a ride to the Sonic after the evening traffic. Thank you for the good advise and well wishes. This was my first surgery, (except the x4 bypas bypass ) and this one feels tougher. Going to have a large coney at Sonic with my soul mate, tonite. Take care, Bob.

I installed an Alpine alarm in my wife's miata. It has a very intelligent dual-zone radar that can protect the car when the top is down.   Which only gets used when we will be away from the car for a very short time. Say a visit to Baskin Robbins? At any other time the top goes up when parking.   -Colin

#2413 of 4340 vibration by pitt3 Jun 24, 2002 (4:53 am)
Just picked up a Base 2000 miata - 10, 500 miles. I'm getting a vibration through the shifter about 65/70 mph. Any ideas why (wheels have been checked for balance)?

How much was that Alpine alarm and how does the radar work? Where did you get it and did you install it yourself? That sounds like a good system that would allow you to keep the top down more without worrying about it. Would appreciate some more info.
