I've noticed a lot of new people on our message boards. Thanks, everyone, for joining our community.

Of course, to really be a part of our group, you should read our magazine. Have you seen our most recent issue?

In this issue, we rebuild a wrecked car, drive a turbocharged Rabbit GTI, race our Miata, mold our own bushings, test rally tires, and swap a Miata's engine into an MGB.

You guys really should stop with the high-dollar stuff and start doing more "grassroots" articles

Keith commented and it didn't involve the fact that somewhere out there is a Miata that is now engineless and likely is desperate in of a V8.

And you tested rally tires without me I would've seriously traveled down with a FWD and AWD car to help with the test

Exactly. I mean, who can afford both a Miata and an MGB these days? They'll cost over a hundred bucks each...

Plus that story is written by Norman Garrett, who knows a few things about Miatas. The piece also chronicles how he has put together three low-buck Miatas.

If you're near our printer in Kentucky, you may even see it this weekend. For folks further away, Elvis has left the dressing room, and is en route to the stage as we speak.

You guys get much better wrecks in Florida than we get up here in Michigan. No fair.

I'd like to read this issue, but it's not in my mailbox.

I'd also like to renew my subscription, but your website can't handle a credit card with the expiration date mine has, and i'm not getting a response from the "contact us" link on the subscription page.

What do?

I too had an error with the website taking my CC back when they were doing the 20 back issues for $20 deal. I called the office and they fixed me up real nice.

Took my info late on a friday afternoon, told me they would figure it out and call me back by monday. About 20 minutes later, they called me to tell me my issue was fixed and my issues were in the mail! Talk about above and beyond.

Swank, I can't remember their hours off the top of my head, but our data elves (I think that's the technical term) work a lot. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they pick up the phone tomorrow.
