Alex wanted to have a separate car apart from his daily driver to use on the weekends. He stumbled upon a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata that had an incredibly low 23,000 miles on the clock. He couldn’t pass this amazing car up and purchased the vehicle. Alex has done few mods to his Miata because he knows how pristine the vehicle is. Because he believes it will be a future collectible, he plans to keep it that way.
Every Saturday night, my parents would go to their friends’ house and stay there until late. I figured that if I could get my hands on my dad’s car keys when they left the house, I would have a good 4-5 hours with the car before they’d come home. My dad didn’t notice until he finally outsmarted me by recording down the car mileage.
Center caps are typically circular caps that snap into the center of a wheel. Mostly decorative, the cap can also help protect the wheel bearing and spindle from dirt. The center cap can also be designed to hide the lug nuts of the wheel. With the use of silicone caulking, one can eliminate annoying rattling noises coming from the center caps.

There’s been a trend in the JDM car community with the use of the yellow and green arrow symbol: 🔰. The symbol used on the internet (especially on social media) has now become a synonymous with car culture, as well as a symbol of being a car enthusiast, but what exactly does this symbol mean?
I had a commuter car, but really wanted a car that I would have fun working on. I found this 2nd generation Mazda MX-6 for $800 in non-running condition. After years of working on the car, it was on its 3rd engine and 3rd transmission. This car is how I got my start working on cars.
Craigslist has primarily been my go-to when looking for a motorcycle to purchase. Unfortunately three different times, I arranged to meet with someone selling their Ninja 250 and I ended up walking away empty-handed. I’ve talked about Craigslist etiquette in the past and in these three scenarios, the sellers could use some, that’s for sure.
Recently, I had the unfortunate luck of getting two flat tires during my commute to work on back-to-back mornings. Lucky for me, my wife purchased Tire Road Hazard Protection on these tires which I normally wouldn’t do. So it raises the question: is it worth getting the extra protection on new tires?
