In Portland, bought some Yokohama YK 740s. The original tires he had were from 2006 so it was a no brainer getting new tires. The car rides very well and oil differential and transmission fluid replaced and new plugs. Does not have TPMS so I saved on that aspect.
A thing I have noticed when driving is the oil gauge. When driving the gauge stays at about 3/4 but when i’m stopped and idling it goes down to about a 1/4. Is this normal. It’s not low on oil it’s at the right level but I am thinking this is just the way the gauge is suppose to read.
Other than that I really have no concerns about driving it back.

Ah the internet is great, I did some searching and it appears this is normal behavior for this gauge. Dosen’t really tell you the “pressure” just it has oil. Kinda like a idiot light but in gauge form. Looking forward to the drive home.

Made it back with a check engine light after 200 miles. Thermostat failure but I just keep on going. Have to get it repaired soon. Thanks for all the info

Had the Miata for 3 months and I'm having a great time with it. Join the local Miata club and have been on a few cruises. Going on one tomorrow and I will be dedicating the ride to my Brother who passed 2 weeks ago. Went back to Portland for the celebration of his life and I feel he will be riding with me tomorrow. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear about your brother. Definitely enjoy that drive as he will more than likely be riding with you.
