Just ordered a set of Continental VikingContact 8's in 215/45/17 to replace my old (date code of 1618) Firestone Winterforce 2's this coming Friday. The Firestone's still have decent tread and appear fine visibly but considering I have a 40 mile round trip commute on the highway, I didn't want...

Whoa, that is crazy and yes a small world indeed! I lost touch with Stephen over the years but that is awesome that he bought that house!

You are welcome and happy to hear that you did not need to modify the USB hub!

Congratulations on your wedding @bigsho! :cry: at the news of Evan passing. I had to double take when I saw your link to his obit. I knew and met Evan through M247 many years ago. I drove out to his and Steve's place, at that time, for a couple of picnics. He was a great guy and was always...

Sad day....:cry:

Agreed! I just found a really good deal on a set of alloys with like new Conti VikingContacts 7 local for $350. The wheels are 5-lug so they won't fit my ND Miata so I was going to sell them and mount the tires to my OEM wheels for winter use. Then I saw that the date code is 1820. Considering...

@chiefmg Can you use your dungarees for assistance?

Welcome back @banjos-n-beer and congrats! The black and red combo is beautiful and timeless!

If they sell quick, maybe it will get Mazda's attention and they'll consider doing some vibrant colors for the Miata. Longshot but if these dealers are willing to get the ball rolling it could become reality. I'd go green before yellow but Mazda can take my money if they bring back mariner...

Apologies, wasn't aware that the 2020 GT came with the wired hub. Our 2020 was a Sport and we had to have it installed. I was thinking the wired started in 2021. Thanks!

Welcome and apologies, AA = Android Auto and ACP = Apple CarPlay. Ok, so then you will not be able to use the dongle with your current CX-5. Depending on what year/trim you get for your newer CX-5, wired AA/ACP should be standard and wireless could be an option/standard. If wireless isn't, then...

Sorry to hear @N7turbo but thankfully it can be repaired.

Thank you! I just bought one for the CX-70 and CX-30. ;) Should you need a little inspiration ;) CX-50 CX-30

Seeing that you have a 2016.5 and bought the dongle, I'm guessing you are going for a wireless connection. I do have to ask if you had the USB hub upgraded as the 2016.5 CX-5s were not AA/ACP compatible from the factory. I had the dealer do this for my 2016 Miata and my wife's former 2020 CX-5...

Welcome @Blackout70! Your CX-70 looks great with the blacked out emblems! I used the piano black Hyperdip on the emblems of my Miata, wife's old CX-50 and her new CX-30. Have you considered dipping the wheel center caps as well? I did this on the CX-50 and CX-30 along with black lugs at my...

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

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!

Congrats! Your wife has great taste, I've always loved that color combo!

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...
