Just two. A red NA "mid-life-crisis-mobile" with which I rewarded myself in
1991 after ten years of driving a diesel VW pickup (really!). And a red
2006 NC "no-longer-a-crisis-mobile" purchased nearly 15 years to the day
after the first.

Just the one, a 1996 Eunos Roadster - a VR Limited Combination-A, which
is the japanese Domestic Market version of the Merlot limited edition.

It was imported into the UK in 2000 and I acquired it last November from
the original UK owner (via a dealer). I love it!

Just one, an original 1990 Mk. I purchased new in July, 1989, the first
one in Chicago's western suburbs. It was months before I stopped being
asked what it was! (It was the 3625th Miata ever built, by the way.)

French blue with two 7" silver stripes (added later) and many many mods
for SCCA solo competition, mostly suspension and intake/exhaust pieces,
but the Momo steering wheel and shift knob are probably my favorites.

Still sitting out in my garage. Still with very few miles since it was
pretty strictly a race car for most of its early life. It will need an
awful lot of TLC to get it back on the road. One of these days . . .

Cheers!

Only 2 so far. 1990B Classic Red/black interior and 2004 Classic
Red/black interior.

Yes, I like red. <g>

And my answer would have been only 1 if you'd asked this question
on June 4, 2007. Or even at 10:45 am on June 5, 2007.

One: 2004 Mazdaspeed.

I picked it up a bit over two years ago and absolutely love it. I guess
I'd post more if anything ever went wrong with it, but nothing ever
does. As it is, the weather is beautiful here this time of year and my
wife and I take drives in the evenings with the top down. We both really
enjoy that. Not the best highway car ever made, but it's my daily driver
and I intend for it to say that way for a long time.

I've never driven a non-MSM NA or NB. They definitely sound better and I
hear the 5-speed is more precise. I'd like to take one for a spin one of
these days.

3 for me. 1994 red, 2000 silver and 1990 red turbocharged

Just the one, a 2000 MX-5, that I bought new, as a retirement gift to
myself brand new (June 2000), then taking a road trip with my Wife to
the Grand Canyon the next month. Only has a little over 32,000 miles on
it. Being retired, all three of our cars get less than 3,000mi/yr.

Just a few trips to the beach, beach bumming several times per yr.
during the nice weather here in N.Cal.

Being how my Dad gave up driving at the age of 80, and I am now 59, I
doubt that I'll need another car :-):

94 Chevy S110 P/U>>>49,000mi

97 Chevy Monte Carlo>>>near 46,700

Then the Miata>>>a little more than 32,000

All barely just broken in>LOL

I've used to have a '94. Now, I've got a 97M.
