I saw another Mirage on the way home from school. Decent little cars, methinks.

I went to the Toyota dealer today on a whim. Got to lay hands on a base-model Corolla, and some other cars. Conclusion: the Corolla is a great car in the segment, but as you move up the price spectrum, (Camry, Rav4, Avalon), I wasn't that impressed. When I get my trucking career started, I could see myself working on a dealer to get me a bargain 6-speed Corolla.
