PHOTO UPDATE, 11/7/06!

Check out my new REDLINE GOODS genuine leather shift boots...in black with black stitching:

(5% discount on your new boots through this link: Redline Goods)

This before & after shows the significant and noticeable difference the real leather makes in the feel of the interior as a whole

The change from old, shiny vinyl to new, textured, sweet-smelling leather is nothing short of wonderful!

Another before & after view, this time of both the shift knob area and the e-brake handle.

Can you see what a huge difference the new ones make!? They are one of the upgrades I have been longing to make for several years, and I finally decided on the color combination I wanted. Honestly, I don't think I've done any other aesthetic mod that has brought a smile to my face like these boots (in combinationw with the Voodoo textured knob and MGW e-brake handle, of course!)

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Redline Goods, and also about Maciek, the person with whom I've dealt. Top-Notch products and service, every time!!

WHY NOT ORDER A SET OF YOUR VERY OWN BOOTS?

ABOUT MY MIATA OBSESSION:

1996 Miata

I fell in love with the Mazda Miata at the age of 16, and longed for one for three LONG years.

Every day, bookmarking sites for sway bars and roll bars, searching Autotrader.com nonstop, until finally one day...

I got a call from a local dealership, tempting me with the offer of a white, 5-speed '96, which I thought there was no possible way I could afford.

Well, things ("things" being the miraculous sale of my '95 V6 Camaro for more than it was worth to a nice guy who drove 4 hours to buy it...go figure!) fell into place, and I was able to rather quickly become a proud member of the Miata community...Please be sure to check back often, as I try to update this page anytime something changes with my car.

Hi Bobby: I still have the car, and it's as awesome as ever. No problems to date, other than a clutch replacement this past summer (expected). Let me know when you have pics of your new baby...I'd love to see it! Good luck with everything, Tyler.

Hey Tyler. This Bobby Button. Do you still have the car? Well I could'nt do without any longer. I picked up a 2000 with only 25000 miles, and a great price too. The list is ready, the painter and the jackstands are too. I am having to plan a bit different now since I no longer have a garage. Done gone condo. I drove a 2001 with a flyin miata turbo a couple weeks ago. To good! I am going to go a bit further with this one than I did with yours. I'll post as I go. Later bud.
