Since we were discussing the weight of the power window motors, I
decided to go ahead and weigh one since I am gutting a few doors to
auction the parts.
It comes out to a little under two pounds for the motor alone.

So, the power windows are adding about 3.5 pounds total to the weight of
a miata if you add the extra wiring/switches and then subtract the
weight of the crank mechanism and handle.
This is on a 1990 model, which should be the same through 1997. I guess
I can live with that.....

The day after swilling a six-pack of beer and several plates of nachos
would probably have the same weight effect...

That would seem to be the case, but my metabolism burns food faster than
my miata burns gas.

20 years of anti-dieting and I can't put on a pound. I would love to put
on about 20 pounds, but I have learned not to say that in public after
getting chased by an angry Jenny Craig crowd.
Luckily for me, they were very easy to outrun..... ;-)
