new to Miata and rack by
Cameraman
I just joined this group - and I just got a new 2006 MX-5 Grand Touring
about two weeks ago. I'm in Orange County, CA.
I really enjoy my Miata. I'm a "big guy" - a football player build -

Fuel Economy by
John McGaw
I suspect that no reasonable person would consider a new MX-5 to be an
economy car or give the fuel economy a huge role in the decision to buy

Looking at buying a '92 Miata by
suseuser
Here's the deal. It's going for about $1600 more than NADA ($6495).

it. He just put $2000 in...

Warning stickers by
Dana Rohleder
I realize that many Miata owners simply remove their sun visors because they
are next to useless. However, for those of us that prefer to leave a little
forehead padding for their next collision, is there a a good way to
eliminate the warning stickers?? It looks like they would be easier to...
