It had about 15k miles on it when I bought it; it has about twice that
now. It had the famous ****mmy, which may be why the price was so low. But
from reading miata.net I knew to take it to a shop with a GSP9700
balancer. That completely cured it.
This car is my daily driver. It feels very weird to drive anything else.
My wife's Protege5 feels like an SUV. Today I drove a big delivery van
and it seemed like a semi. I learned pretty quickly that you have to
allow way, way more room for braking.
The MSM has more power than a standard Miata but it doesn't sound as
good. The ratios in the 6-speed are comically close together, especially
considering the amount of midrange available.
