I hear ya there. What most people don't realize is that if you have any newer vehicle that has built in navigation and internet capability you are already being tracked. By whom, who knows but your...

I am a satellite payload specialist. The data collected from various space missions at the ESOC (European Space Operation Center) in Darmstadt, and I was there long enough, clearly and without the...

I've gotten the "No Politics" warning for much less than what is in this thread. Just looking for some consistency. IDGAF what you post. Would appreciate the same in return.

Thanks. I can actually see down when I pop the hood, and it looks like it is a boxed steel part of the unibody, so pretty solid, but again, maybe just made to be strong in the pulling direction.

It's on my calendar. My kids would like to see their birth-mom again, so this could be a go.

You were a great host last year, and I hope I can make it again this year. No telling whether I'll be able to make it back into town though.

This is mine. Its an early 70s Simplicity 728. The blower is obviously a single stage. I think its 30 or 32". I converted the tractor to electric over 10 years ago now. Absolutely love it. ...

We got both the G4 and the hatch. The visibility is better in the G4 IMO. The trunk space is generous, no push thru though. Rear passenger legroom is better than in the hatch, more space than an...

I don't know Metros in particular, but I know Miatas. One or two people have documented the process of retrofitting ABS to a Miata that didn't have it. It's more involved than you think. You'd...

If the rotor is so rusty that it needs to be replaced, then replace the rotor. Leave the pads alone.

I'd imagine that if you just drove the car, the rust would get knocked off and be fine.

You want to "sell" a kid a $15,000 brand new car for $3000? Yeah, that'll teach him.

Thoughtful, informed answer well done. And here I thought it was Chairman Mao and a cabal of socialists ruining Murica's 51st state, Canada.

Did I call it weak? I thought I called it modest haha.

It's the delay when you mash the throttle that people don't like. If it can cut the lag time in half when I mash the throttle down then I'm happy... Plus if something is wrong with the car then I...

No. It works perfect. Subcompactculture installed a different brand too. He's going to write up a review too.

30 MPG? Oh. I was just pulling a number out of my... hat. I really have next to zero interest/knowledge of CUV's. Honestly, the SUV/CUV craze is slowly extinguishing my life-long interest in cars.

I understand that, but I think it's still better to not have fluid that's going to freeze solid in the windshield washer system. I can't imagine freezing liquid is good for it?

If you own a newer Mirage, pump out you windshield washer fluid before the cold weather hits.

As I was changing my oil in my Mirage today & looking things over, I was reminded of my first...

I'm Magnuscat lol. Yeah I've been fighting the propaganda war on youtube for a minute. Let's get more sold so we can get these parts prices down.

Heh, yeah, that's an "experiment" that I often tell my students to try. You can be on a 4+ lane road with zero traffic, and somebody will come up behind you and just camp out there. Maybe they're too...

It's been fixed. See this thread:

It's fixed. (Disc full due to mySQL issue.) Unfortunately it was one of those problems that prevented the automatic error report emails from being sent to me. (I got 50 of them all at once when...

Has anyone checked out this idrive EVC311 throttle controller? I can't stand the delay from initial acceleration. Guessing this is designed to eliminate that. I did search here for it but nothing...

I'm not dignifying them with the click.

I really like the 5-speed manual powertrain of the Mirage.

I bought a Mirage because it was affordable, reliable, & very economical. It's also a little unique, & that is part of its charm! ...
