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).

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

2014 Mazda6 earns Popular Mechanics' 'Car of the Year'

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

Ring one up for Mazda. The Japanese brand's midsize offering, the Mazda6, has been named Popular Mechanics' Car of the Year. The 6 received a comprehensive reworking for the 2014 model year that saw it adopt sleek, sexy sheet metal; a clean, logical interior; and powertrain technologies that allow it to net some of the best fuel economy available in a gas-powered, non-hybrid sedan.
Popular Mechanics praised the 6's Skyactiv 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower engine, as well as its agility and responsiveness during testing. It also remarked on the functional, but well designed cabin, and the degree of available technology.
"The Mazda6 really impressed us with how well it delivers so many things modern car owners want: great mileage, fun road-handling, upscale features and looks - and remarkable value," said Jim Meigs, Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics.

Mazda reveals new 'Game Changers' advertising campaign

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

Looking to highlight its unique and sporty mindset, Mazda is getting ready to launch its biggest advertising campaign since "Zoom-Zoom" became its tagline in 2000. The new campaign, entitled "Game Changers," will begin in May, and rather than focusing on its sporty past - like it did with Zoom-Zoom early on - the new ads will look at recent advancements made in building its future, including Skyactiv technologies and its new diesel race program, both of which involve its excellent new Mazda6 sedan.
As a part of the ads, Mazda will showcase game changers from the sporting world, including Dick Fosbury who changed how competitors perform the high jump and Laird Hamilton, who redefined how surfers attacked big waves. It doesn't sound like Zoom-Zoom is going away, but "Game Changers" will definitely feature heavily in the Japanese automaker's marketing moving forward. A few examples of the new ad campaign are posted in our gallery, and the press release is available below.
