Reply With QuoteGot my first in 1999 and have had at least one ever since.
I'm not sure if that is good or not.
How many years in a Miata?
Just curious -- The Miata has been on the US market since the summer of 1989 as a 1990 model. In theory, one could have owned a Miata of one sort or another for almost 28 years now. I missed out on several of those years because life does that sometimes. However, I got my first '92 Sunburst in 1995, my second in 2000, and a Vivid in 2009. Even when I didn't have one, I've been plugged in to the Miata community. Overall, I've owned one Miata or another over a total of 16 years now and I don't plan to be without one any time soon.
How about you? How many years have you been a Miata owner?
To clarify, I'm not asking how many Miata-years you've stacked up. No fair saying, "I'm Mad Merv and I have had 18 Miatas for 3 years so that's 54 Miata years." I'm just asking how long you've been in the game.

I got my first and only in 2006 and I still have it. So, eleven years of Miata ownership.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Bought my first one in 2001 (1992 A-package), after I gave up motorcycles. Have had one ever since, except for a few short lapses.
Bought my first in November 2014. Now I have two! Both NCs.
My dad got his first one in 94', he still has "Baby". I drove it as often as I could.
I got mine in Sept. '99. I still have it.
(Curtis, sorry I missed talking to you at Karen's Art Council. I saw you talking to Kuhn and then I couldn't find you.)

Dang! I wish I'd known you were there.
Started driving my dad's 1991 Smurf in 2007, bought it from him in 2012. Sold that one in 2014, spent a sad year without a Miata and bought my 97M in 2015. Only about 5 Miata years for me, but I don't plan on getting rid of my 97M.
Since 98.
Bought my 96M in 2001 and sold it in Nov of 15. Bought a 2010 last summer so a total 16 years.

Bought my 1990 in 1999 (within the week), so 18 years. (Side note: car was born on 4/89, so almost 28!)
