    • 4 year anniversary / 100,000 mile ND Miata post

      Well now its at 108k but I put on 97k of them, so close enough either way.
      Firstly lets get to the pretty shots from taking it to the dirt roads where I grew up. Figured since I was "up north" might as well pretend to be a rally driver for the milestone.

      Onto the maintenance / repairs.

      There was a first model year issue with the rear brakes. Solution was to change the rear rotors and figured why not do all of the pads at 40k miles. Just did all of the rotors and pads again at 100k miles.

      Belt tensioner is fluid filed and it broke at 90k miles, simple fix.

      Visor mirror cover broke off around 20k miles, had it replaced under warranty. Asked my GF to not close like I did (close the mirror cover by closing the whole thing). She forgot once and it broke off around 90k miles. Its fine, not going to fix it.

      I could have probably got the screen and top replaced under warranty if I drove less, but Im way past the miles where thats an option. Paint is kind of annoying, but thats Mazda paint for you. Window pillar rust is just weird since its only the one side. First gear is rarely hard to get into, but its making me wonder if I should change the fluid. Or be paranoid and put money aside for a replacement. The gearbox has been an issue for some cars.

      BUT, I'm still very happy with the car and am looking forward to another winter of sliding the thing around.

    • Detroit finally got some winter weather

      This is a friendly reminder that oversteer is great and you should go slide your car.

      @Genesis_Haysenhox Having faith in the internet at all is the more shocking thing here.

    • Drove an old Alfa, was good.

      But not without its faults obviously.

      I stalled it right away in rush hour LA traffic. 2nd gear was always kind of a pain to get into and starting it was a kerfuffle.
      It was great fun on PCH though and really wasn’t all the difficult to drive. My first time driving something classic and really my take always are obvious. Not something I’d want to commute in, but it’s still a car and it certainly can do it.

      Considering it’s age the top was pretty easy to operate, though I will say the seating position was awkward. Had the steering wheel between my legs, thing makes you man spread. But since it’s an old Alfa, getting a few shout outs and nods from random people certainly helped to feeling cool behind the wheel.

      If you want an old Alfa experience without buying one, there’s one in LA I’d recommend.

      @MybirdIStheword @Arch-Duke-Maxyenko The muscle cars have always been a great value, but nissan forgot their cars go straight to the rental lot and are supposed to be deals too.
