    Poll Main reason you became a Mazdas247 Member?

    Love that deep crystal blue @BoomerZoomr ! My wife had a 2016.5 CX-5 in that color with the parchment interior, perfect combo.

    What have you done to your Miata today?

    So sorry that Betty got hit by an impatient driver but good that you are ok! Sadly there are more and more out on the roads today. Everybody wants to be first. Happy that she is off to the body shop to get repaired!

    From the Sith (VW) to the Jedi (Mazda). Insights Welcome

    Welcome to 247! My suggestion is option one. And this is not biased based on me owning three Miatas in the last 10 years. ;) You do have to factor in the ownership costs of two cars but if manageable it gives you the best of both worlds. The Alltrack for when you need the extra size/room and...

    Mike's 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition

    Can't wait to see the wheels on the Kuro! They are going to look great with the black exterior.

    Mike's 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition

    Well this came outta the blue! lol Congrats on your new-to-you CX-9!! I absolutely love that color combo, the red interior is gorgeous! If your wife thought it was bold on the Kuro, what would she think of it on the CX-70/90 where it carries over to the center console, dash and door cards? lol...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Congrats @BoOsTiN! Looks clean and in better shape than the few I still see on the roads here in NE PA. I still miss my P5, loved that car!

    What have you done to your Miata today?

    I'm sure he could have if he needed to. He did get the spare out of her trunk for me and said he saw the scissor jack. I'm not sure how well that would have worked up against the curb anyway? Yikes, that does make for an expensive day especially after you just picked it up from the shop.

    What have you done to your Miata today?

    I got a text Monday night from our daughter. As she was pulling up to the curb in front of her boyfriends house she hit the curb with the PS front tire. So I drove over and swapped the donut on. Tuesday morning, I put it in my car in hopes of getting a new tire mounted and balanced locally. I...

    What have you done to your Miata today?

    @bazooka joe as Chief said it's better than a poke in the eye but still crazy that this how they treat a customer. Let's see over the last few days I've washed her (Friday), replaced the rear brake pads and rotors (Saturday) and found that a 275/45/21 wheel/tire from a CX-70 will fit in the...

    Well that sucks. Have fun writing those reviews! ;)

    Should I lower it?

    Looks great! I have always been a fan of the RX-8 18" wheels. You mentioned just doing lowering springs, how many miles are on your 5? Ask as it may make more sense to buy/install struts at the same time since you'll have everything apart anyway. If so, then you can compare prices to...

    Well at least the lines of communication have been started. Let's just hope they continue it! Good luck!
