I am the original and so far the only owner of this 2002 Blazing Yellow Mica Special Edition Miata. In the year that these were made this car was one of only 1000 produced. The other special edition color that year was Titanium Gray of which there were 1500 produced. So first of all this car was rare to start with. I purchased it and drove it off the dealer's showroom floor for it's first trip (other than being put in there in the first place). Since that day it has been protected by a garage throughout the year and a garage and a car cover through the off season. It has only seen the rain fall once. That was the weatherman's fault, not mine. It has never gone out in the spring before the salt is all off the road, and I put it up for the year way before the salt hits the road. My intention when I purchased this car was to treat with the utmost love and care and have it later in my life as a collector car that I could take to car shows with me. My health and therefore, my financial situation calls for me to rethink some of my priorities. This gives some lucky person out there a chance to own a fantastic car that you can't just find out there every day. Believe me, I look frequently just for fun. (And I keep looking for a 2000 Evolution Orange Special Edition - also rare)
That being said, it is not what you might think is a great deal considering the cost. But from the research I keep trying to do I think my pricing is fair. And if you don't, obviously you won't be buying it yet. I am including in the purchase the original window sticker that was on the car when it was new. Also the extra set of keys. The vehicle is equipped with an engine immobilizer if someone tries to take it without the keys. It also has a perimeter shock sensor alarm. I received a gift from Mazda after my purchase which was a leather duffel bag with "feet". I have never used that and it still is in the original box it was shipped in. See, I was really in this for the long haul as a collector's item. I currently have the vehicle insured with Haggerty Insurance Co. for a replacement value of $20000. I got that value with just a few pictures of the car.
I didn't really know what all to take for pictures so if you would like to see something specific just let me know. Also, any questions let me know. I have had the vehicle serviced at the dealership where I bought it since 2002. The guys there enjoy seeing it come back every year looking like it did when it left. The last of the pictures of the car shows the only damage that is on it. The very first month I owned it I pulled a little to far into my garage and hit a planter. I put touch up paint on the spots I made on the bumper.
As far as picking up the car or having it delivered to you, I have the flexibility to help you work on that if you need help. So, thanks for looking and feel free to contact me.

Mazda hard at work on Skyactiv 2 engine technology
Wed, 08 Jan 2014As Mazda continues the current rollout of its still-new Skyactiv technology, the automaker is already looking at improving its family of engines for even better fuel economy and emissions reductions. Automotive News reports that with stricter fuel economy and emissions regulations planned for 2020 and 2025 in Europe, Mazda will likely release engines with next-generation Skyactiv 2 technology by the end of this decade, and Skyactiv 3 units just five years later.
The latter is expected to focus on improved engine cooling and lessening energy losses, but the big news in AN's report is that the next-gen Skyactiv 2 engines will use Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI. This type of ignition is very similar to how a diesel engine operates (with high compression and using the compression stroke for fuel combustion rather than spark plugs), a method said to provide a cleaner and more efficient fuel burn - to the tune of a 30-percent improvement in fuel economy compared to current Skyactiv engines. Other automakers, including Hyundai, have already announced they are developing HCCI powerplants with similar technology and characteristics, so Mazda likely won't be a lone wolf here.
Equipped with HCCI technology, Mazda figures to be able to compete with larger automakers in terms of fuel economy and emissions without resorting to hybrid powertrains, continuously variable transmissions or automatics relying on more forward gears (eight or more) for optimal efficiency. Some of the challenges of HCCI, according to AN, include the need for better engine cooling, risk of misfire at high and low rpm and uneven engine performance based on fuel properties.
NFL player Alfred Morris receives his thoroughly restored 1991 Mazda 626
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Washington Redskins starting running back Alfred Morris might not drive a flashy sports car or SUV, but after today, he'll be driving the nicest 1991 Mazda 626 on the planet.
Back in July, Morris temporarily traded in his 626 - cheekily named Bentley - for a 2014 Mazda6 loaner courtesy of Mazda, and today the sedan was presented back to him after the ultimate PR stunt: a reported 275-man-hour restoration that left this 22-year-old daily driver looking like it just rolled off the assembly line.
Not everything was brought back to original condition, though. The expired sticker from Morris' final year at Florida Atlantic University was left on the windshield, but to fit the car's nickname, a few high-end touches were added to the interior. This includes the quilted, cross-stitched leather seats (just like a real Bentley) and the touchscreen Pioneer audio system. There's also a plaque under the hood marking this car as the "Alfred Morris Project."
Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept
Wed, 07 Aug 2013There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8.
