Perfect 2-Car Garage: Mazda MX-5 Miata and… ?
We now have the thing everyone searches for: the ultimate two-car garage. Thanks to @XPELinc for sponsoring this video and supporting our channel!
Car enthusiasts always debate what makes for the best pairing in a two-car garage. They want fun and practicality (ideally in both cars), and they often want the pairing to be affordable. If you know me from other platforms, you may already know what the second car is... but I haven't shared it on YouTube yet!
So, here's the announcement: We bought a second 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata! We love Miatas for their performance and reliability, and the fact that they're equally as easy to wrench on and drive as they are rewarding. ("Miata" means "reward," after all.
Our first Mazda Miata is the modded red car. All Mazdaspeed Miatas are manual, and this one has a hardtop, sun-damaged paint, aftermarket Advanti Storm S1 wheels, Flyin' Miata modifications, a louder blowoff valve, a tow hitch, and more. It has 140,000 miles, and it's our daily Miata. The red Mazdaspeed's alternator went out recently, so in this video, we're wrenching on it to get it in working condition again: We'll replace the alternator, re-finish the headlights, and flush the brake and clutch fluids with our new pressure bleeder.
Our second Miata is a family car. The only other owner was my husband's grandfather, and it has 23,000 miles. It's fully stock, and it's perfect. It doesn't need any mechanical work, but our new channel partner XPEL offered to do full paint protection film and ceramic coating on the car to keep it perfect forever.
I'd love to do a comparison review of both of these cars in the future, so let me know if you'd like to see that as well. Thanks for watching my YouTube channel. Enjoy the video!
