Description of 1992 Mazda MX-5 Miata Basic

Died 50 miles from home, driving up a not-too-steep S.F. street when it just wouldn't go, even though engine was running. Since getting it home, have not tried starting again for fear of causing more damage.
5-speed with good clutch
Aftermarket cruise control
Passed smog 3mo ago (Smog Chek 2 is fairly strict)
Cold AC (recharged with Freon R-12 when I bought it)
Various small dings in the body (some touched up with matching red paint)
Radio/CD player takes external input, but sometimes acts up, so there is a spare included
Flushed the radiator for rust but still had rusty look to fluid.
Driver's window needs greasing (did this when I bought it, needs it again...
Sealed lead-acid battery replaced the big OEM version
Chrome roll-bar is not just for show - heavy enough to handle a roll-over
OEM 14" wheels are pretty dinged up and the tires may be worn, but they hold air very well.
The car rolls quite easily, so it can be pushed onto a transport if needed.
