A few years back, Mini had a habit of trolling Porsche, attempting to goad the German brand to pit its thoroughbred 911 against a Mini at Road Atlanta. This automotive retelling of David and Goliath did not go David’s way, with the Porsche walking away victorious. Clearly, Mini could learn...
For our American readers, this weekend is a holiday and is generally considered the unofficial start of summer. It’s also a great weekend for motorsports, with the Monaco Grand Prix, Indy 500, and Coca-Cola 600 all taking place on Sunday. If you’d rather do some driving, though, this video ought...
I just recently got a 1996 Miata. It has 110,xxx on it. When I got it I immediately changed the oil because it was very dirty and about 2000 miles over its due date. When I changed the oil it made a noticable difference and now it runs strong. The issue I discovered today ( 5 weeks later) was a...

What are some good upgrades for a hard top Miata Grand Tourin? Anything from aesthetics to performance upgrades, just looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance. (-:
Also, it's a 2008 model.
A weird thing happened the other day. We were messing around and looking at car discounts and deals online, when we stumbled upon the AOL Autos Best Deal tool. (No, AOL didn’t pay us to write this part; we just genuinely think they’ve got a cool thing going here.) The online tool allows you to...

I've always loved this car even though people view it as a girls car.
But the thing is how practical would it be?
Are they known for breaking down or expensive to maintain?
I'm also afraid that previous owners might have driven the car too hard because it's a sporty vehicle.
