Thread: Just Bought an '09 Stormy Blue Mica today!

Unless the setting for the cooling fans is off. I'm wondering if his car has a bad sensor or, if a cable isn't plugged in all the way thus giving the ecu an improper reading and causing the fans to kick on.

I wear boots to work and my leg would hurt if I had to do any extra driving on the way home. Much better now.

Possibly the noise is a belt that is improperly adjusted. Thank you for sharing your pleasant drive along the coast.

Nice looking car, I hear you, this may be the last of the breed. Is your Dad comfortable in there? My Mom was not too happy when I drove her around in my old Mercedes 350SLK, and that was a MUCH bigger car!

Congratulations and GREAT pictures. Say, were those pictures taken in Cambria, CA? My wife and I visited that area from Maryland and I recognize that little corner store and mountains. If it is Cambria, I have to say they have one of the prettiest roads to take your MX-5. I remember driving my Rental Honda Accord through those breathtaking roads, and all I could think of is how much I wished I had an MX-5..hahaha

Congrats on new ride. Stormy Blue is a pretty color on the Miata. I know they have a engine sound ehancement system of some sort on the 09's which is maybe what you're hearing. Hope it doesn't make it sound like a vacuum cleaner though. Hmmmm. I came from a 96 NA also and it will always have a fond spot in my memories. I do like the NC a lot though.

congrats on your purchase and excellent color choice!
