    New to the Wonderful World of Miata

    Well, I took the plunge and snagged a black 1999 Miata off Craigslist. It's a real nice car with only 79K miles and no rust. I have owned a number of sports cars over the years, but never a Miata. A friend of mine bought one last year and he let me take it out for a trial flogging, and I was hooked. It has all the characteristics of the early MG's and Healey's, but with power steering, A/C and a good fitting soft top that doesn't leak (much). I scored a set of American Racing wheels and like new tires the other day. Looks way better than the painted stock wheels. I don't plan on much in the way of modifications.....I like it fine just as it is. I look forward to reading the posts in this forum. I know there is lots to be learned about this machine.
