Imagine the skills I would be developing if I was doing something useful.

Instead, I've bought Miatas. And I'm happy.

If you are that happy after 3000 posts, just image how Keith feels after more than 10x that number. He also has more Miatas, so there may be a correlation.

EDIT: Anyone want to make a graph of post count vs number of miatas owned?

Congratulations. Didn't even know there was a post count on this forum.

Hmm.  Is it total Miatai owned or how many we currently own?

With this I'm at 8,476 posts and owned 5 little roadsters for an average of 1,695 posts per Miata (PPM)

15693.  Zero Miatas.  Infinity posts per Miata.  6 Lotus.  >2.6K posts per Lotus.

20053 posts, zero Miata. 

I do have a car with many Miata parts under it though. 

 

And holy smokes, I didn't know I broke 20K. That's a lot of mindless drivel.

7821 and... Do we mean Miatas now, or Miatas ever?

I'm either asymptotic or... 7821 posts/Miata.

Unless it's Miatas per post, which would be zero or 1.2786088735455824063419000127861e-4, depending on that current vs ever decision.

So, I bought a miata in February 2018, then the second in February 2019. 

Hmmm....

What if it's the total length of time you've owned Miatas, whether concurrent or sequential?

I would surely skew the chart. I'm somewhere in the low to mid 20s and as of yet have not owned one Miata.

I initially read your comment and thought, "So, you're a carrier?"

I have never owned a Miata or a P71. But if it was total cars owned that would change things.

How would planned/future Miata purchases play into it? 

My current ratio is 78:0 

If I planned to buy a Miata would it become 78:1? Or would I actually need to buy one before it counting as 78:1?

Oh, I've got all the symptoms... And I'm sympathetic and I syncopate, though I try not to be sycophantic.
