Yeah. =/
It's not all bad, but I'll say that, even in some of the nicest areas in Metro Detroit, I'm homesick.

Currently the dash in Mirage #3 is lit up like a Christmas tree. Appropriate for the season, but the cause is, I think, a damaged wheel speed sensor wire.
The Mirage has more electronic driving nannies than the Insight did, so one bad wheel sensor = something like 5 lights on currently: ABS, brake, Traction Control, Stability Control x2. |
This is the scanner in question. I received it as a holiday gift, and found it to be incredibly useful. It's able to read and clear all of the car's major systems, except for the immobilizer.

Not weeping yet. It looks bad though. And, given how aggressive other drivers are here, and how quickly the power under the hood could get me into trouble, I'm disinclined from waiting until it becomes an issue.
