People have commented on how Miata's are sort of scarce in other
parts of the country, but quite common in California.  Well, I
can atest to that, at least the California bit!  I'm in Santa
Cruz, a beach town (which may have something to do with it),
and this morning I followed a red Miata all the way to work down
Highway 9, and as we reached the bottom of the "mountain" another
red Miata zipped past us going up.  Other times when I've been out
at lunch for just an hour running errands, I'll see at least two
or three Miata's.   

At my company of about 800 employees, there are at least four other
Miata's that I know of:  one black (my boss'), another M-edition
like mine, a BRG, and a white.  I think there's a red but I'm not
sure.  There's definitely a red at our UK office - hello Jonwe!
I think that's a pretty high ratio - 1:200.  On top of that, I
know another employee who sold his red for a Nissan 300ZX, and
two former employees who got their Miata after they left (and
one of them sold her too! boo on her!).

A little trivia about Miata mania in California (give me time and
I'll think of more alliteration),
