2001 Mazda Miata LS
Added on Dec. 11 by johnhammer
This is my 5th Miata; an ‘01 LS that I bought in December ‘06 with 4,300 miles on it! That’s right; it was essentially a brand new 5 year old car. Since I also own a Spec Miata racecar, I’ve kept the mods to daily driver status on this one: Monsterflow intake, Flyin’ Miata dual exhuast, Hard Dog rollbar and a few interior trim pieces to make it nice (leather shift boots with contrasting stitching are really nice!).
The car now has 22,000 miles on it and needs a set of tires; I’ll probably do custom wheels too although suspension will probably remain stock for a comfy ride.
Most importantly; this car has a defeatable passenger air bag which means my toddler son can come for a ride with me…and sharing my Miata with him is the BEST part of owning one of these great cars!
