One 1992, bought used in 2005, I've put about 10,000 miles on it.

That is impressive. How do you do you guys do it? I have never kept a
car going for more than 7 years and maybe 90,000 miles. I can maintain
them well enough, but there has always been an incident or a "need" for
another vehicle, which meant more than two seats with the arrival of a
child almost 19 years ago, then the swap back to a 2-seater and finally
the plunge into Miatas never looking back in 1999.

As it turns out, 2 seats was plenty about 6 months after the change to a
larger vehicle since the family member number count went from two to
three, and then back to two.

Cars have never started out new for me, and the newest one, the 1996
"M" edition Miata was purchased with 10,700 miles but by the time it
reached 78,000 miles, it was taken out by a 60MPH encounter with the
local wildlife.

Getting 20 years and well over 200K miles out of one car is apparently
just not within my abilities. Even 100K has never happened. :-)

I have usually wanted the car gone in less than 10 years, with the sole
exception so far being my '96M edition. I would probably still be
driving it today if the accident had not occurred.

1997 M edition, bought used with 14K, now at 207K.
2007 Grand Touring, bought used with 11K, now at 12K

Sounds like you still own both, eh? Now you just need a 2nd gen to add to
the mix and you'll be all set ;-)

That's impressive. How's it holding up against the weather up there in the
snow country?

Very impressive! What color? Original (unopened, except timing belt and
water pump of course) motor?

Sounds good! You are in Europe? What country, if you don't mind me asking?

Seems like just the other day when you got that thing and it was all a buzz
on here about the new 'NC'! IIRC, you get to run around on those great
roads in the Blue Ridge mountains, right? Oh boy, don't want to think about
it ;-)
