    Cool Hello from Milwaukee! (Wisconsin, USA)

    Hi, This is my first post here on Mirage forums, I was referred by a stranger in Bay View who also owns a mirage.
    Just got my Easter egg a few weeks ago and still trying to settle on a name.

    Tony down at Subaru City Mitsubishi has taken good care of me in the past, so when I needed a new car, I went straight to him and "plasma purple" was the best they had in a 5speed manual used. All the guys I've talked to down there were super helpful and friendly, but I especially like Tony because he took the time to show me around months before I even knew I would be in the market for a new car It took the better part of a year for his time to pay off, but every time I stopped by to look at cars, he was happy to spend time talking and showing me around.

    Got right down to business with the front bumper, looks like someone already bumped it but the included tow loop should discourage such behavior from recurring (secured with a generous application of blue threadlock) and if it does, hopefully the dip will prevent further scratching of the actual paint.

    I really love how easy it is to park, regardless of how inappropriate the parking space is.

    I have not done much on it yet, undercoating sounds like a very good idea. I'm not sure where to go for that but I'll look into it. Any recommendation would certainly be welcome!

    Thanks for linking! spork did talk to me briefly before crossing the street and taking the photo; she asked if I was on "the forum" I figured she meant this one. I'm really happy to join such a lively community!
