New (to us) Miata, New Blog


We bought a new (to us) '99 Miata with 117k on it. While we had been talking about buying one for a while, I wasn't as careful as I could have been. The low price and its ok running shape made it easy. After purchase, I was able to make it smoke more easily than I would have liked, but a solid run down I-70 to Airport Rd and back blew the soot out of it: it had been sitting for 6 months garaged. Some time spent waxing it and cleaning the wheels was well spent.

It will need tires, a timing belt and water pump soon. In the mean time (2 weeks now) we've enjoyed driving something more fun to drive than the "comfortable" subaru.
