Mark,

He was both, I had not mentioned his name on the net, although it was 
easy to find it in the Magazine. He got wind of the Silver coming out in 
March 90 and went to the dealer and asked to change his order to Silver 
to which the dealer replied "We don't make a Silver and don't plan on 
making one". He replied, "Ok, but if one comes in it's mine right?"   
According to the title he gave me , he was the cars first owner with 12 
miles in Feb of 1990, which made him the first kid on his block with a 
Silver one. This was kind of lore and legend with his family, along with 
the cover photograph.  I wanted the car regardless of her Cover Girl 
status, but thought it would be a nice touch. I am starting to wonder 
what happened to all of the other Cover Girls. I am thinking about 
someday trying to contact their owners 

using the Magazine credits and through the Miata Club. I haven't a clue 
why I care, I guess it's just idol curiosity. If any one knows, let me 
know.

These are the ramblings of Chuck Irwin, a person who sees wonderful and  
bizarre things when he closes his eyes, and therefore should be taken 
with many grains of salt until something better is written.  ( It helps 
that I have bonked my head so many times while working on cars)
