I bought this 1996 Mazda Miata in August, 2013 after moving to Boise, Idaho.  The Miata is alot of fun to drive, but it just hasn't turned out to be very practical for me.  I would not hesitate to drive this Miata anywhere.  I think that it is in exceptional condition for an 18 year old, daily driver sports car.

Main Description - This car is very reliable.  It has been my daily driver since August, 2013 and I have had no problems with it in 100°+ summer temps or 15° winter temps.  It has relatively low mileage for an 18 year old car: 114,890.  It has a factory hardtop with rear window defroster.  It is equipped with the popular equipment package, which includes power windows, cruise control, and a Torsen limited-slip differential.   It has good working heat and A/C.  It currently wears NB Miata wheels with good Toyo Proxes tires and includes the original wheels wrapped in Nokian Hakkapeliita snow tires (yes, it is a lot of fun in the snow).  This car has always been garaged by myself and the previous (long term) owner.  This car has always been well maintained and includes lots of service records.  I recently replaced a couple vacuum lines, replaced the valve cover gasket and CAS o-ring, and changed the transmission oil, differential oil, and engine oil.

Full Disclosure of Known Issues - It leaks a small amount of gear oil from the transmission; sometimes a drop overnight, sometimes a drop every couple days.   The power antenna does not always fully retract/extend; the antenna motor always runs properly, the problem is mechanical.  The windshield has a couple of rock chips and lots of small pitting; it isn’t cracked, but replacing it was something I planned on doing.  The driver seat upholstery is damaged at the left bolster.  The horizontal surfaces of the hood and trunk have a number of small dings; the paint is not damaged in these areas.  It is hard to photograph this, as the dings are small, but I have included a couple of photos which capture this to the best of my ability.  The windshield washer nozzles need to be cleaned; they do not currently spray properly.

Translogic 182: CXC Motion Pro II Racing Simulator

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Translogic gets some seat time in the CXC Motion Pro II to test if the high fidelity racing simulator can impact our host's real-life track times. Host Jonathon Buckley hits the track at Auto Club Speedway of California in a 2015 BMW M4 to put down a baseline lap time before his virtual training session in the Motion Pro II. After learning the lines of the track in a simulated setting, Jonathon returns to the track to put his skills to the test. "We designed it, originally, as a professional training tool for race car drivers," says CXC Simulation's founder and president Chris Considine. "Make it authentic. Make it real." The Motion Pro II boasts "thousands of cars and track models," ranging from street cars, to rally and off-road vehicles. Will this hyper realistic racing simulator help Jonathon improve his lap time?

44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.
