    My wife and I want to downsize and we have bought some land right next to our present house as we like our area. I really hate the thought of it but it is getting harder each year to take care of the large house. It is also hard to find people to help in our area. How did it work for you...

I think she said they too pictures or...

    Dealer still getting 2020 model MX5 Miata's??

    I want a new Mazda MX5 convert., but I don't want a 2020. At least a 21. It is so late (mid January 2021) to still be getting 2020 models in at the dealer that I am guessing that a new, rumored, 2022 model is going to be out this spring. Why would they not be shipping at least 2021 models...
