I did my research too! My conclusion at the time was that the IMS issue only affects a very small percentage of cars, 95% won't have a failure. But then I found this forum! Damn! and with that went my security.

Just human nature I guess. If enough people act afraid it becomes quite contagious, the facts be damned.. kinda' like global warming!

My Miata of 17years wasn't interesting enough to warrant too much forum reading, so I never worried... just drove the hell out of it (very fun little car, BTW).

On a more positive note: Last night my 10 year old son and I took a drive with the top down. At a stop light a car full of teenagers gave us the thumbs up! My kid was very proud. That kind of stuff never happened in the Miata.
