Redmond, Wash. (PR WEB) March 17, 2008 – The first issue of Forever MX-5 Magazine is bundled up and in the hands of the United States Postal Service for delivery to subscribers across America and around the globe. The all-new independent MX-5 Miata enthusiast publication represents the long-awaited revival of Miata Magazine.
National newspaper USA today has a great story about amateur racers in
Mazdas, and chose to feature MazdaSport and Forever MX-5 Autocross
columnist Jason Isley, saying: "Like any other working stiff, Jason
Isley commutes to the office in his sporty coupe during the week.
But come Friday, he wrestles the baby carrier out of the back seat of the Mazda RX-8, wrenches on a set of extra-grippy tires and slaps some magnetic racing numbers on the sides. Plop on a helmet, and the transformation is complete: family man to top-performing race car driver."
We just received our hot-off-the-press copies of Forever MX-5! By Monday, we'll have thousands of our subscriber copies packed and dropped off at the post office in Kentucky. After that, it's up to the postman to deliver to your door. We know everyone is excited to get this first issue in their hands, but please allow a few weeks for the post office to get them all delivered. From our experience, that is really how long it can take.
What would help, is if subscribers could post replies into this entry letting us know when they received them and what part of the country they are in. That way, other subscribers could see how the flow is moving across the country.
Click the jump to see more photos of the unboxing! As you can see, Forever MX-5 Editor, Jeff Zurschmeide, is really excited to finally see the first issue in print!
If you want to subscribe today, you will still receive issue #1 as your first issue on subscription. We are going to do a second postal drop on April 11, 2008. Subscriptions that come in after that will automatically start with issue #2.
Welcome to Forever MX-5!
After months of research and work, we're thrilled to tell you that the first issue is at the printers and will shortly be in your hands. We've gone around the world to find the very best in technical information, lifestyle products and destinations, and behind-the-scenes information on the MX-5 revolution in motorsports.
Owning an MX-5 Miata isn't like putting a conventional grocery-getter in the garage. You didn't buy it just to get from point A to point B - you bought it to enjoy the journey. We're here to help you get the most out of your car, from performance products and tuning tips to the very best roads and organized activities with your fellow enthusiasts.
If you haven't ordered your copy of Issue 1 yet, I encourage you to do so today. When you read it, you'll find that not only have we gathered information and great photos for you, but there's an explicit invitation to make Forever MX-5 your own personal travelogue. We've got several sections where we invite our readers to submit their cars, their road trips, and their club activities for publication.
Creating an MX-5 magazine is the best job in the world - all we have to do is hold up a mirror and let the hundreds of thousands of Miata owners out there see their own reflection in our pages. You're the story, you're the great shot, and you're the ones winning races. I think you'll agree, it's worth checking out.

She's baaack! This time as a contributing editor so she can spend more time in the mountains with her 8 horses, growing horde of collies and a sprinkling of grandkids!
BRIAN GOODWIN
Tech Editor
Nobody does technical setup on an MX-5 Miata better than Brian Goodwin. Now driving an NC, he'll continue to lay down the facts on track and road tech.

Like doing things with your car as well as to it? Our resident bon vivant is here to remind us that the right destination can be almost as much fun as the road.
