Thanks. I had tried it numerous times before without success, though
to tell you the truth I never really cared enough to investigate why
it didn't work. Of course I may have just experienced a string of
middle-aged moments--things I seem to have experienced since I was a
teenager!

But playing baseball has caused me some problems with my right hip and
the CC helped me keep pressure off of it so now I'm addicted.

I need to get underneath and trace the wiring for both the CC and the
alarm which also goes dead if I hit a bump too hard.

As to the MS. In my test drive, I didn't notice the response being
particularly non-linear. I'm about as far from an expert as you can
get but  it just seemd to make the car stronger when wound high
between shifts. Actually, it made me not want to shift at all!

But it wasn't really  the extra power for passing or the mountains
that appealed to me. The MS seemed to handle much better than either
the stock or LS models-- nigh on perfect. It also seemed much, and I
mean much more stable at high speeds. Admittedly, I didn't get above
90mph but I was very suprised when I read that on the dial. My 93'
tends to feel drifty at highway speeds.

Keep in mind that this is from someone who hasn't  driven an S2000, Z4
or any of the pricier sports cars though I have driven numerous older
types.

To put it in perspective, I haven't bought a new car since a 76' Ford
van--I hate losing value so quickly. But even after three weeks I
still have MS lust. Especially at the prices you can find them for
right now.
