I've been moving for the last month hauling 90%+ of the entire household in the Mirage. They don't call it Space Star for no reason!

With plenty of space to spare! :)
Nice. Your pictures bring me back to being 16, doing the exact same thing an 87 civic.
didn't know there was so many seat fabrics offered. Yours looks nicer than mine. I have little circles everywhere (different than yours)
This makes 3 fabrics. Interesting.
Nice work..
I routinely carry 2"×4"×8's in mine...
I would like to see more pictures of people hauling stuff in the mirage I know I will soon get to that point..the lawn mower you have in there is impressive too. I would have maybe put a tarp or blanket down First, but looks more "Get er Done" the way you have...
Yah, I definitely would have put a tarp or blanket down but your assessment was correct. It was a "Get R Done" moment. Previous trip was the gas powered weed eater with all of the attachments and fuel cans (which I did place in a tote for transporting). Onyx has really proven to be versatile.
Cool that it will accommodate the ladder. I probably would have wrapped a big towel around it at the top, by the windshield tho. Help stop scratches on the dash and door panel, and maybe cushion the windshield during that "oh s...", lock up the brakes moment.
On the Geo Metro forum, I've seen washing machines hanging out the back, go carts on the roof, all kinds of things. Would make for an interesting thread here too.
Just like it sounds, pictures of the things you haul or have seen stuffed, crammed into our Mitsubishi's !

Did this when it was brand new. Didn't leave a scratch
I haven't really hauled anything in my Mirage yet. The most hauling I've done is a bicycle.

About 600lbs of scrap 11 miles driven round trip $19 payout, took about 2 hours, lots of fun lol. I would do it for costs, I enjoy recycling metal.

I was at 3200lbs total weight which I could barely tell was there.
Normally when driving for uber I have to keep up with speed limits and the flow of traffic to avoid a bad rating from passengers. 4 large passengers and 1 large driver and I'm easily over 1,000lbs inside, close to 3,000lbs total weight, 3,000 lbs total vs 3,200 with trailer consisting of over 700lbs of it, the mirage drives 100 times better with the trailer.

Who needs a truck when you own a hatch back. 12X10 FT. Carpet.
wish I saw this yesterday, just finished off fixing one of my apartments and it was filled to the brim with tools and paint. I must say however, though there is a fantastic amount of cargo space, I do wish the actual opening of the hatch was bigger to match. You could legitimately move washing machines and what have you in the cabin if it was.

I picked up four wheels and tires for my Ranger. 225/70/14's. Seat down, with a moving blanket, hatch closed just fine.
Yah, if the hatch was more rectangular you could really stuff some bulky items in. It is amazing still how much space is in this little car. I moved my entire home with the exception of beds, dressers and a rolling tool chest in my Mirage. It took a bunch of trips but never a whimper or complaint from this car no matter how overloaded it was.
gotta get people to buy their SUV's somehow I suppose hahaha. It really is a common sense feature though. Still I agree, best function for the money out there and I love my little Mary Jackson.
so who needs a pick up truck.

Hauling bunch of bike parts & sometimes i carry up to three mountain bikes. Will add Thule roof rack soon.

6ft countertop from Menards, just baaarely. But it did fit!
Nice!
You guys are spoiled with space! I could barely shift LOL
Attachment 8100
Nice. Just saw this thread. Here's my addition, 5 bags of leaves. Could have easily fit another 2 more in there. I keep forgetting how 'spacious' it is. :)

Incase anyone wants to know if four 205/50/15, Falken Azenis RT615's fit inside the car. They fit pretty snug in the car :)

A while ago I modified a trailer hitch(receiver) that was given to me to fit my mirage.
Then I bought a small 4x4 foot trailer from harbor freight ($236-ish)which I am still building to make it a foldout 4'x8'.
For the first time I dragged it behind the mirage in a 4'x6' configuration to get some wood material from my uncle who is moving and would've left the wood with the old house if I don't go get it.
There is actually more weight on and in front of the rear seat than what went on the trailer. I realized that when I saw my low beams
pointing up on the trees.
She is squatting pretty good!

I would guess an extra 600-800 lbs of weight including the trailer that it was hauling.
I filled up on my way home from my uncle and still got this on the remaining 10 mile journey.
Attachment 8507
Only with a Mirage :)
Further proof for myself that the weight has less impact on fuel economy than driving style does. (yes I hypermiled it)
Saw these pictures and thought I would share them Attachment 8699Attachment 8700Attachment 8701
I called up harbor freight and bought the big rig conversion kit :highly_amused:
Did very well at up too 70mph
What's the big rig conversion kit
Nice!
5 2x3x8 ft boards, 27 6ft by 6 inch fence slats, and a gallon of paint for good measure.
That was fun
