• 5/12/02: A note from Carl McGinnes, who is roving through the USA with his blue 1991. He writes us:
  "Leon, You may recall me asking the list for input for bike racks for my Miata for a cross country trip. I appreciated the responses you and others sent. I decided on getting the Rigid Trailer hitch. It is easy to take the rack on and off. FYI, there are two pics attached. The first shows the bike and rack, taken in the Mississippi Delta Country, on famed US 61. The second is on a mountain road (sans bike and rack) near Los Alamos, New Mexico. Post them to the list or web page if you wish. It is GREAT to have the opportunity to drive a Miata across the continent! Carl McGinnes (from Las Vegas)."

• 9/11/00: (updated 11/10, 11/17, 12/20.) There is a big controversy within the Miata Club of America, of which we are a chapter. The main controversy is between the president and founder at one side, and the publisher of Miata Magazine at the other. The president and founder have first witheld financial support for the magazine, and are now withholding the mailing addresses. The publisher will presumably still honor existing subscriptions if you inform them of your mailing address on www.miata.net. But it looks like eventually you will have to make a choice between subscribing to Miata Magazine directly (for $20) or subscribe to MCA (for $29) and recieve some (still unspecified) replacement magazine. Note however that there is a restraining order by the District Court of Southern California preventing the MCA from starting another magazine.
  
  Leon's view of the controversy. If you want to offer a dissenting view, E-mail it to Leon for inclusion.
  
  Latest: MCA is now stating in a recorded message on their phone line (770-205-8832) that members are not receiving their magazines due to a difficulty at the printer and that it will be resolved soon. This is untrue. Members are not receiving their magazines because the MCA is under a court order not to publish their own magazine. Since the date for a jury trial is set for end October, it is unclear when the issue will be resolved. While the MCA is offering to extend your membership for the time lost, it is unclear whether after a year of no magazines, there will still be an MCA, making the value of the extension doubtful. Renew your MCA membership at your own risk. Latest (4/15/01): The MCA has terminated operations. Mazda North America is setting up a new club to replace it. Miata Magazine stays. See miata.net.
