Mirage Club

[Truezydale]

When I had a custom Scion I was a part of my local Scikotics chapter. I was wondering if anyone has ever thought about starting up a Mirage car club wherever theyre located? I didnt know if enough people around me were customizing theirs though. I know there is a group called Mirage Society that I follow on instagram but its not in the states. Any thoughts?

I think it would be cool to have meetups and stuff, but I don't think there's enough of us yet, at least not where I am. Maybe if we were more concentrated, or once these cars become old and cool it'll be a thing, I hope. Last weekend I traveled from Milwaukee, WI area to Pensacola, FL for a Geo Metro meet and have no regrets.

Unfortunately there's not a lot of enthusiasm in this country for cheap, subcompact cars. I don't think passion for the brand or model is a motivator for the vast majority of Mirage owners.

Wow that's a lot of driving. What was your fuel economy and total mileage (odometer) on your Metro?

I've seen a purple one running around in my area, but it looks to be owned by a young married couple with kids, and not exactly the auto enthusiast type. There was a white one as well with Texas plates that headed to the local graduate university campus, but only saw that car once.

I've also seen one of those Scions you mentioned around here, pretty wild looking green xB.

The Mirage is still relatively new, and doesn't sell in droves, and again not necessarily to the auto enthusiast crowd. We do have several makers and forum members developing parts for the car though, so that will help bolster the enthusiast following. The more we all do and share here, the more the crowd and following will grow and thrive.

maybe its just need some meet up to fuel up the peoples knowledge about this car. Showing in numbers can make an impression to others

it doesnt need to be like a super car, whats important is the camaraderie and sharing of ideas and having fun!

Whahey! I follow them too! They've got some pretty nice looking 'rages but sometimes a little too ricey for my taste. I mean we are all part of the Mirage Forum club! haha but I gotcha. I'd actually love to see any DSM or Mitsubishi clubs around here. The scene where I live is either big lifted trucks, american muscle, or molested hondas.

Unfortunately I didn't take my car all the way down there, because it was too much driving for me! I drove to Chicago and carpooled with another member from there. But I keep track of all my fuel usage on fuelly, and I list the odometer numbers in the notes now.

Ha! Your Mirage is already doing better than your Metro.

I'm glad I got my Speck.
