3rd anniversary

This month marks the 3rd anniversary of ownership of Mirage #3!

This is the longest I've gone in my adult life without having bought or sold another car. Is this my forever car? Sort of?

Life has gotten busier in the past 3 years, and I've pretty much abandoned the habit of perusing the local ads for cheap, efficient cars.

MPG in my hands over the past 3 years: 62 MPG US = 3.8 L/100 km.

Recent Mirage-related milestone!



A week ago was the first time I've ever seen another Mirage behind me in traffic while driving mine. He was in more of a hurry... and wasn't behind me for long! And I'd bet there was no ScanGauge on his dashboard.
