The Red Menace
The VIN plate on the door of my 1990 Miata says (in clear) that it was built in "MAY 1989"
Which means it's now over 25 years old (!) (It's at just over 178,000 miles.)
NYS says that I can get "Historic" plates for it in the following calendar year, so, Jan. 2015.
(A quick Google didn't turn up a VIN decoder that would tell me the actual DAY it came off the line; but it might be about Miata #4,000 - pretty darn early. The last I knew, total production to date was about 900,000.)
