95 Miata M Edition

The garage is full again. I bought the 1995 Miata M Edition shown below. According to the official MX-5 M Edition Field Guide (you probably didn't even know there was such a thing) there were only 3500 of these cars made world wide. And they sold for around $24k! (Man, did I get a bargain!!) Basically the M is the luxury model - leather seats, a/c, power windows, cruise control, limited slip diff, etc. But the coolest thing is that the 95 M was the only year/model to come with this paint color and these wheels. The "Merlot Mica" paint is faded a little bit on the hood and bumper cover but the rest of the car looks great. And the 15" BBS wheels are really nice. I drove it today in the pouring rain and the top didn't leak! If the sun ever comes out again, I'll take some more pictures.

They Come and They Go

As quickly as they come, sometimes they find new homes and move on... The red CRX is gone. In the 1500 or so miles I drove it it averaged over 38 mpg, so it served its purpose. Steven and I are working on the maroon one and are making good progress. The motor is out and we hope to have new rings and bearings in it over the Christmas break. I think he's thinking this might end up being his car, but he's only 13. Maybe... we'll see. Selling the red car has created a vacuum in the garage. I am afraid if I leave it too long something undesirable might get sucked in. So as a preventative measure, it is very likely that a 95 M-Edition Miata will be parking in there very soon. Here are some pictures:
