Default My first Miata

Overlooked the newbie check in section, but on 3/1 i got my first miata, 2002. Wasn't incredibly well maintained when i got it (dirty oil, filthy air filter, and now a p0128 code) but now she's got a proper home, she'll get the love she deserves.

the car (need to touch up the chip on her nose, and really want to get her a new front emblem)



and the nasty air filter

Welcome to the forum. Any plans to put it on the track at Roebling Road? I'll be up there next month with NASA.

Not quite a possibility yet, as a mountain of bills requires most of my finances, but it really looks like 2 tons of fun. Mostly just needed a car to get around, and the Miata stole my heart on the test drive. Deffinately need to get caught up on some maintenance with it, though, and learn more about what I'm doing. I can handle basic stuff (changing oil, etc) but im far from being a mechanic.
