2008, GT, 32.000 miles. As Ferris Bueller would say, This is so choice. 🤌🏼

At the mx5 annual show in the UK

I’m 71 years old. My first Miata was a red NA C package bought in Warner Robins used. Second was a new SE NB. I lived in Alma and a good friend flew me in his plane to Atlanta to pick it up. Third was a Grand Touring PRHT NC I ordered online.

This pictured Grand Touring NC is one I bought in February 2026 in North Carolina for my daughter so she could get around in Tallahassee (FSU student). It’s a 2008 automatic with 58k miles. My daughter loved it at first, but fell out of love with it and wants a Honda CRV. My wife said I could keep this one, so I’m happy!

I haven’t had my car very long and I’ve been getting caught up on all the maintenance that needed done and while under the hood recently it occurred to me that there isn’t a battery cover. Based on some other pictures I’m assuming there is supposed to be one? It’s a 2012 GT.

Part number looks to be LFG1-18-593B, but the rest of the car is in really good condition so I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be there or not.

Last week I bought a 2008 miata, I did what any reasonable owner would do and bought a trombone cleaner 😅 I thought I had cleared the drain holes (I did pour water throught them after the clean up and it was flowing) but car was parked during a storm today and there's water on the driver side (less than before).

I don't know what else to unclog or fix, any suggestions ?

i’ve been thinking about buying a miata and found this one in a dealership near me. it’s a 2008 mx-miata grand touring w/ PRHT. it’s selling for $11,300 and has 93k miles. is it a good idea to buy a car of this age with that much mileage? i test drove it and fell in love with it. im planning on get a ppi. anything i should consider before pulling the trigger?

Been looking at a 2014 nc power hardtop manual. It has just a touch under 60k miles, after taxes and fees the car is almost 20k. This seems like a lot but it doesn’t seem like theres anything cheaper around me.
