it might just be a Mirage

Third local Mirage spotted! (Remember, there's no local Mitsu dealer, so I get excited when I see one of these.)



A lovely snot green specimen spotted at a riverside park, where its retired and very chatty owner was getting her dog out of the back for a walk.

Fun facts: first new car, insisted on manual shift ("small, green and manual" were her only criteria; her son in law actually chose the car).

She loves it and is blown away by the fuel economy. "Even when zipping down the highway at 130 km/h to go visit my grandkids." Doh! Slow down, grandma!

That makes 3 local Mirages. 2 CVT's and one 5-speed, 2 women owners, one man.
