Yeah, I remember that Silver was not an initial color choice when the cars were introduced. Per Miata.net FAQ, "Silver Stone Metallic" started mid-year 1990 through 2001992.
I do remember the that it was also a big deal when Black/tan (1993) was introduced and the BRG/tan special edition (1991).
I'd had Fiats and Alfa's up to the point of the Miata coming on scene. I was initially disappointed when I first saw the car as it was smaller than I'd hoped and due to demand, very expensive. I finally got a chance to drive a used one while working in Charleston, SC and was immediately hooked as the car felt and sounded like a real sports car. The one I bought was bullet proof in the five years I owned it and was just as much fun when I sold it as it had been when I bought it. I sold my car due to the arrival of my second son.
Funny thing is that my son that has a Miata initially dismissed the car as a 'girls car'....until he drove one! Like father like son!
