OVERVIEW: 81,800 original miles Third Owner 5 speed manual - 'Tender Blue' metallic exterior, grey cloth interior Never in an Accident 100% southern car No rust no dings or dents - runs beautifully! With low original miles and completely pure (stock), this car is an absolute must for a rotary enthusiast. Additionally, unique from other first generation RX-7s, the GSL-SE was only available for model years 1984/1985 and comes equipped with the more powerful, fuel injected, 13B 1.3L rotary engine. This engine became Mazda's staple rotary on the second generation model. This car is a true enthusiasts dream as it is the most coveted of the first generation RX7's. The car is loaded with everything, including the rare bronze factory tint. It does NOT have factory leather (thank goodness; it only came in ugly brown or burgundy) or factory power steering. An absolute joy to drive. She pulls hard, shifts smoothly and looks great. Twist up the roof, open the dash vents (the old kind that let air flow directly into the car, the faster you go, the more air it blows!) and listen to the great sounding engine and exhaust. Dont fret about the Racing Beat exhaust, it doesnt sound like a Civic with a big exhaust. Great handling as you navigate the twisty roads and enjoy that feeling of a pure vehicle, low to the ground. CARE & MAINTENANCE: The vehicle has been well maintained myself or with Mazcare in Marietta (a rotary specialized shop). Typical oil changes and maintenance have occurred. When purchased, the catalytic converter had been removed for the Racing Beat exhaust and muffler, I had the catalytic converter reinstalled to meet emissions in metro Atlanta through 2010. It was since removed, replaced with pre-silencer and the catalytic converter goes with the car. I replaced all exterior light bulbs, interior lights, headlights (Sylvania Silverstar), replaced rear hatch rubber molding, driver/passenger door rubber moldings, rear hatch struts, stock speakers with exact fit replacements. I had one door ding removed several years back, body is in excellent shape very unusual for the age. Recent maintenance (05/2013) at Mazcare included, re-installation of presilencer, new spark plugs, new distributor cap and rotor, ignition wires, ignition coil, repack of front wheel bearings, replace idler arm bushings, fan clutch and alternator belt. All of this was done to keep car in tip-top shape. Everything is in working condition with the following exceptions: power antennae does not work: Ive since turned stereo and antennae off so that it doesn't needlessly run the antenna motor; the motor would run at start/stop. The stereo works great, just not the best reception with the antennae in the body of the car. a/c compressor runs but is not cold, needs freon recharge or converted to 134a. I just did not drive the car on really hot days as the little compressor could not keep up with the Atlanta heat. rear wiper does not work (it did work after I replaced hatch shocks, but hasn't for some time now) minor tear in seam of drivers seat paint oxidation/fading on sunroof/roof (worst) and hood VEHICLE FEATURES: 1985 GSL-SE model with 81,800(+) miles! 13B, 135hp+, fuel-injected rotary engine (more hp with custom exhaust) Limited-slip differential 5-speed MANUAL transmission 4-wheel disc brakes A/C cruise control bronze factory tint aftermarket Racing Beat exhaust/muffler (no catalytic converter on the car - I still have it though) original factory rims are in great shape tires have plenty of tread original factory stereo with equalizer power windows full LeBra front cover (rare) extra stereo surround goes with the car body-matched rear view mirrors (compliments of first owner) original owners manual ABOUT THE OWNER: Garage-kept, smoke-free, pet-free, children-free vehicle, purchased in 2003, becoming the 3rd owner. 100% Southern car; purchased new in Georgia, spent time in Florida and returned to Georgia in 2003. Ive enjoyed the car for the past 11 years but ready for something new. Shipping Information: BUYER IS ABSOLUTELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS!!!

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jul 2014
Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.
Marchionne now considering 'Plan B' partners for FCA merger
Thu, Jun 11 2015Okay Sergio, just stop. With the sting of rejection from General Motors CEO Mary Barra still fresh, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne is moving on and trying to find another automaker to merge with. FCA may not be giving up hope on a merger with GM, but that doesn't mean it isn't at least considering alternatives. Sergio's so-called "Plan Bs" include the Volkswagen Group, as well as smaller Asian outfits, like Mazda, Honda, Suzuki, and Hyundai. Bloomberg reports that France's beleaguered PSA Peugeot Citroen could as a sort of "fallback" option due to its relative lack of volume, an unidentified source claimed. There are, of course, problems with each option. According to Bloomberg, Volkswagen expects complete control of a company, but the Agnelli family, which holds a large portion of FCA stock, is loathe to relinquish its stake in the company. On top of that, VAG just isn't looking to make a deal right now. Mazda, meanwhile, is enjoying a new partnership with Toyota and Suzuki is partially owned by VW. Honda and Hyundai have never expressed any interest in a partnership with a western automaker. That kind of just leaves the French then, but even that remains a long shot. As Bloomberg tells it, PSA boss Carlos Tavares is still working on a turn-around plan, and would want at least another six months to execute before even considering a deal with FCA. And even then, Tavares hasn't given any indication that he's considering a pairing.

Meet our new long-term 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club!
Tue, Jul 19 2016We have a new Miata! For a year! And yeah, we're excited about it. This adorable roadster was added to our fleet over a month ago, but we've just now stopped driving it long enough to tell you about it. You can watch our unboxing video for this new long-termer above. (Spoiler alert: The car in the box is a Miata.) Then read a little more about which options and features we chose and why. What we got We chose the mid-line Club model because it's the only way to get the suspension with Bilstein shocks, the limited-slip differential, and a shock-tower brace. Club also includes an appearance package with a front air dam, side sill extensions, a rear bumper skirt, and a ip spoiler for the trunk. We chose Ceramic Metallic paint because it's white and silver and awesome all at once. The only option we chose is the Brembo/BBS Package. In addition to the upgraded brake system and 17-inch wheels alluded to by the title, this package adds Mazda's advanced keyless entry you can unlock the doors and start the car without taking the key-thing out of your pocket. The MSRP for the car is $32,835. What we skipped The Grand Touring trim (too fancy), the automatic transmission (too few pedals), and extra-cost red paint (not ceramic enough). Grand Touring adds lots of convenience stuff like rain-sensing wipers and auto climate, some active safety systems, and leather. We wanted the upgraded chassis instead, and we' were trying to save some (hypothetical) money. Why we got it Because it's a Miata, and we like fun. The plan is to drive the bleep out of it for a year and report on the experience along the way. We'll take it to a track or two, keep the top down as far into winter as possible, and then slap some snow tires on it to continue . Maybe at a slight angle relative to straight-ahead at times. We'll see. If you have questions about this car, leave them in the comments below and we'll address as many as we can during the coming months. Miata! Related Video:
