The Miata has buttons on the steering wheel, too. Unfortunately, they are for the horn. So, every time I try to turn the radio up, I honk at somebody.<\/li>\n<li>Every woman to whom I have shown my car has called it <em>cute<\/em>, despite my insistence that <em>sporty<\/em> might be a better descriptor. One woman called it <em>adorable<\/em>. Sheesh.<\/li>\n<li>Have I mentioned that this car is fun? Crazy fun. I love it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To Do List:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wheels and Tires &#8211; I sold my Oettingers to finance new K\u00c3\u00b6nig Rewinds and Falken Azenis for the Miata. They should be mounted later this week. When I have the wheels off, I&#8217;ll check the brakes. The previous owner said they needed to be replaced, but the wear indicators aren&#8217;t screeching and the brakes feel fine to me, although the handbrake probably needs to be adjusted.<\/li>\n<li>iPod Mount and Stereo &#8211; I worked on the iPod mount this past weekend. The prototype is almost ready, but it looks like I will need to get a new head unit and adapter for full iPod integration.<\/li>\n<li>Timing Belt Service<\/li>\n<li>New Plastic Rear Window<\/li>\n<li>Fix Glove Box &#8211; Storage space in the Miata is already horrible and the glove box won&#8217;t open. Even\u00c2\u00a0a CD can&#8217;t fit in the center console storage box and there are no map pockets anywhere. Now that is just silly. How much would it have cost to have added a couple of pieces of cargo net to either the doors or the bulkhead behind the seats? Maybe I&#8217;ll do that myself, too. Update: I dismantled the glove box last night and pulled the locking latch mechanism. Sure enough, the plastic latch itself is broken. I reassembled everything without the\u00c2\u00a0handle so that I can at least use the glove box until I get a replacement part.<\/li>\n<li>Dent repair and full detail\u00c2\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Hard Dog Roll Bar<\/li>\n<li>Hard Top<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are other things, but these are the priorities. I should be able to knock-out a few of these over the next couple of weeks, though selling the A6 will be the highest priority.<\/p>\n<p>jimmy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Random Notes: The A6 has buttons on the steering wheel to control the stereo.
