1999 Mazda Miata Base Convertible 2-door 1.8l, Hard Top Included on 2040-cars
Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States
|
I am selling this Miata because for the past four years we have been driving a mini Cooper. The Miata has only been driven by my wife during that ten-year period. I don't drive. We bought it in 1999 from a Mazda dealer. It was a dealer's demo car. It had about 10,000 miles on it. Because it was a demo, it had all the bells and whistles: leather seats, Bose speakers, rear and side spoilers, etc. However, it is an automatic. My wife does not like driving cars with a stick shift.
The car is in excellent driving condition. It has some scratches on the engine hood, front and rear fenders. These are minor, meaning there are no dents, just scratches. There is some bubbling from interior rusting in the body area near the wheels. Well, that is what happens to cars in the New England area because of the salt used for de-icing roads in the harsh winters of Boston. We did our best in the winter to take the car to a car wash and include washing of the wheels and under carriage. The car has been garaged at my wife's daughter's home in Sudbury for the last four years. Occasionally the daughter drove it in the summer because she liked the open-air driving with a convertible top. The wining bidder will have to go to Sudbury, Massachusetts, to test the car and make payment, etc. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me via eBay. |

Bauer Catfish is a Miata-based trackstar in the making [w/videos]
Tue, 25 Jun 2013We're not trying to make a joke here. The creation you see above really is called the Bauer Catfish, and while the name is about as attractive as your average bottom feeder, the car itself is built on a sexy notion. Take the mechanical bits of one 1990-2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata, add in a tube chassis for as little weight as possible, complete with some custom body work and go forth. Bauer says the finished product weighs in at just 1,550 pounds, and the company will be happy to pull the stock four-cylinder to drop in a healthy General Motors LS V8.
The pre-production prototype shown above competed in last year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, finished the race and earned a spot on the podium in the "anything goes for sports racers" ESR class. Very cool.
If you're looking for a dedicated track car, it may not get any better than this for the money. Expect to pay around $13,900 depending on options, plus the cost of your donor Miata. That's a good sight cheaper than a used Chevy Corvette Z06 and likely to be quite a bit more fun. After you're done watching it in action in the brief videos below, check it out over at Bauer Ltd.
Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]
Sat, 08 Feb 2014Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.
