Backed In Buckie
Or did I?
For the longest time I celebrated November 7th as my Miataversary because my first Miata was driven home (story here) on that date back in 1989. I’ve blogged about the Miataversary 6-7 times here. I even blogged about my First No-Anniversary in 2023 when I sold my Miata and the continuous Miata owning streak stopped.
My not owning a Miata lasted all of 381 days when I purchased a brand new 2024 Grand Touring Softtop Miata with a 6-speed transmission. So maybe I should start celebrating September 28th as my Miataversary.
In January of 2025 I bought a 2001 Mita LS with a 6-speed transmission on Bring A Trailer. That’s right, I now owned two Miatas. In October 2025, the newer Miata was traded in for a 2020 VW Golf GTI. So should I celebrate January 13th as my Miataversary because that’s the day the 2001 was bought?
I think I’ll stick with November 7th and just call it 38 years with a gap year.
