[Shop-talk] mazda miata issue

[Rich White]

Keep that dealer!  Most of them would have replaced the wires and charged you
for it.

Mine tried to tell me a gasket needed to be replaced.  The miata.net says the
gasket does not exists.



I guessing the muffler bearings will be needed the next time they see my car.

That ain't a scrap pile, that is my car!

See it moves!
