I'm moving so my Miata is up for sale -- we have to get down to one car and this just isn't practical enough to be it.

It is a 2006 Miata in Winning Blue -- the only year that color was for sale and thus rare. It has low mileage for its year and is great shape. It's setup as a bit of a sleeper -- the engine and everything is stock -- but the suspension is $3300 of Good Win Racing's race valved Ohlins Coilovers with Yokohama Advan AD08 tires for razor sharp turn in and fixing the biggest complaint of the NC -- handling and the 4x4 look. Wheels were left stock to avoid the tuner look and the ride height is very manageable (this car makes it into my driveway without scraping whereas our stock Golf scrapes). The car is corner balanced and aligned with a "fun to drive" alignment. What is noticeable is when the car takes turns at ~1g with near zero body roll while being comfortable.

The coilovers are valved stiffer than normal, but are adjustable. For those that would like something softer you can purchase the "road and track" springs for the Ohlins DFV from Good Win Racing for under $400. The DFV and Ohlins quality makes them very tolerable on the street. I've done all-day drives with no issues.

The full hood, mirrors, bumper, and front half of the fenders are all covered in XPEL Self Healing Film. The rest of the car was done in Wolf's Hard Body (check it out -- similar to Opti Coat but much more slick with great hardness).

Oil has been synthetic since new -- previous owner did M1 and I did Royal Purple.

The Not so Good: Top destrapped and rubbed against the frame during the first owner's life, it caused a weak spot in the top which was repaired -- slight cosmetic. One door ding on the passenger side and a ding/ slight scratch near the rear of the passenger side. Both should be able to be fixed by a good PDR tech. All these issues are depicted in my pictures next to my pointing fingers.

The Car Comes With:
AD08s (Installed)
Near New Run Flat Tires RE050 (In a tower of tires)
Stock Suspension (In Boxes)
Ohlins DFV (Installed)
Full Xpel Self Healing

I can pick up from Dothan Airport (DHN), Montgomery Airport (MGM), Pensacola (PNS), VPS, and ECB.

I have owned NA1.6 NA1.8, NB, and this NC is my favorite Miata because of safety and the convenience of the Z-Fold top.

The car is currently under a non-transferable warranty. Meaning any issues I would have would be fixed -- but there are none. However the new owner will not have this warranty unfortunately (it was provided by the dealer I bought the car from and is non-transferable)

The car needs to be picked up within 14 days of auction close -- I am moving. Clear Washington Title in Hand (I'm Military thus the out of state title - WA is my home state).

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
Check out our full gallery of high-res images live from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show above and feel free to read through the related press release from Mazda below.

Are you the 2016 Mazda Miata?

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

Tech nerds are spoiled. Every year, there's a new iPhone that arrives following months and months of breathless speculation and rumormongering. We car folk have a more difficult life, because vehicles with the iPhone's cult-like devotion and following, while plentiful, only receive hefty updates after several years. Case in point, the Mazda MX-5.
There's a new one coming, and much like the iPhone 6, it'll arrive in just a few weeks. So, in lockstep with the tech folk, we're anxiously biding our time and waiting with baited breath for the expected debut date of September 3. Also, like Apple fanboys, we're clamoring over any hint or teaser as to what the next-gen Miata will bring, which is why we're showing you the above image.
That is, allegedly, the new MX-5 hiding under the sheet. Auto Motor und Sport has the image, which according to World Car Fans was released by Mazda. Of course, we've reached out to the Zoom-Zoom brand for verification of its authenticity, and will be sure to update as soon as we hear back.
