I’ve written a page with the story of how long it took to buy my first Miata (Brian Buys A Miata) and it took 108 days from first test drive to driving it home. I’ve even written a blog post showing the Birth Announcement of its arrival on the 7th of November. Earlier this week, knowing it was around this time of year, I wondered just what day it was when I put that deposit down. Backing up 108 days from the November pick up date and you come up with today, July 22nd which was a Saturday that year.
