I have been averaging a new Miata every seven years and if that pattern keeps, my next new one will be a 2010 model sometime near Thanksgiving of that year. I have a neat little countdown thingie over in the sidebar that, at present, shows I’m 1447 days away from that purchase. But what I have here is 2 chances out of about 2500 to get that new one on New Years Eve this year, a mere 18 days away.
On December 3rd, one of the items in my daily Google alert for the word Miata was about a museum in Washington state raffling off a new Miata for a fund raiser. I emailed them expressing an interest in purchasing a ticket using the form on their web site: The Polson Museum. They replied that because they are down to their last few tickets and time was running short, the best thing to do was to call them at 360-533-5862 and use a credit card. I called last Thursday and the nice lady who answered the phone took my info and said they’d get the tickets (I bought 2, double my chances) right out in the mail. I got them yesterday.
Wish me luck. Or go ahead and take a chance or two for your selves, they may still have tickets left.
