1 EEEEEEEEEEeeer4,d How Let me tell you a bit about a running joke among our family. Anytime we travel with the Miller s (Jim & Mindy) and someone needs something, Mindy has it. She always carries her magic bag. Whatever you need, she s got it in there. It s almost like the magician s hat, but without the doves and rabbits. It s more like a Walgreen s in there, what with the pharmaceuticals, firsttems, snacks, health & beauty items, greeting cards and magazines. I, for one, have been saved more than once by the magic bag. It s bottomless, I swear! The lesson to be learned here, of course, is to Volume 27 Issue 9 September 2016 be prepared! The question is: prepared for what? With what? So let s talk about what you carry in your car, or maybe you Of Course The 1 Millionth Mazda Miata Is Soul Red don t. I used to be better with this in my 99, not so much with the speed and I can t really explain why. more power continued Máté Petrány 4/25/16 9:00am Filed to: MAZDA MIATA I wouldn t spend my money on a new car, but if I had enough cash in the bank, I would still buy a new ND Miata in a heartbeat.

Flyin Miata told the website that a turn-key conversion could come in slightly less expensive than the $50,000 or so that FM charges for NA, NB, and NC conversions. Think about that for a second. You could have the 2016 Global Mazda MX-5 Cup for $53,000. Or you could buy a base Miata and have this done to it. It probably comes down to what type of person you are.
