Just for Fun

Just to stir the pot a little, I'd love to hear how many Miatas folks have
owned and approximately how many miles they have put on those Miatas.

To start it off I can say that I've owned 2.
- 1992 SE Black and Tan (put ~75k on it over ~5 yrs) and currently
- 1999 Base model Black / Black / Black (so far have put about 72k over
about 5 yrs)

I'd love for everybody to chime in whether it's one Miata and the first
thousand miles or 10 Miatas and many hundreds of thousands of miles (maybe
928k miles on the odo ;-) Let me know!

Two that have been running, two that have been parted out.

1996 "M" Edition, approximately 6 years - 77K

1991 1.8 liter turbo monster, approximately 5 years, 41K

I can add a few thousand miles of driving the Miata that belonged to
SWOHTBOS on some road trips.

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

Fine, still has the original top at 144k miles. But it's garaged and I
never drive in snow (T1R tires). The leather and carpet are getting
tatty though. There's one small dent where it was butted by a ****ed-off
bison.

I knew you had snow, I didn't know you had ****ed off Bison! What was Mazda
thinking!

2003 1.8 UK 'Sport' with factory black heated leather, strut brace and a
set of Billy Stein's patented wobble reducers. I've owned it just over
3 years and have done ~50k miles.
