I’m trying to think of anything and everything but probably missed some stuff. It’s an amazing car. I’ve never tracked this particular Miata, it has always been a street build for me. I’m confident it would do really well if that’s what the next owner wanted to do. This has been a regular driver for me. Lots of time and attention has been put into making it turn-key and reliable.
