    With hardly anywhere to go (working from home but in IT for a local government so going in when needed), I went a full 32 days between fill-ups. $1.59 on Thursday. I was on the last bar, and it...

    5 year ownership report

    I'm not on here much anymore, but Monday was the 5-year car anniversary (carversary?) of owning my 2015 Mirage. I thought I'd give a boring report of how it has gone.

    It has gone: Boringly well....

    Forecasters got it wrong, as usual, but we still had probably 4-6" of snow, and some ice thrown in for good measure. The wind caused part of the street in front of our house to be nearly bare...

    I actually haven't. It has been an incredibly mild winter in Central Ohio so far. I'm not complaining!

    I will say I'm not as pleased as I hoped to be about wet weather traction. Maybe it's...

    (apologies if upside down. Chrome shows it upside-down, but photo viewer shows it right side up)

    Not a decal, but I'm still deciding if I want to turn my Mirage into a Space Star. :)

    I just checked, and they're at 10/32". I haven't even put 500 miles on them, so that should be pretty accurate for new.

    Also, got gas today so I've got a mileage update. 43.3mpg for the tank. ...

    Here's my 2 week review so far: I'm quite happy with the tires.

    Traction overall isn't *as* nice as I'd like, there's still some tire slippage. I'm guessing it's just the combo of skinny tires...

    I hate insurance too, but I'd think twice about both of those. Insurance is (or at least feels like) a scam, as long as you don't need to use it. When I moved out on my own, I got minimum coverage....

  15. Solution: Mirage doors freezing shut - use dielectric silicone

    I've always felt that the door seals on my Mirage were a little "sticky", especially on colder days. You'd pull the handle, and the door wouldn't open until the door seal unstuck itself from the...

    I've got Rhino ramps, and it's not hard to hit the end. I probably do it every time I go up on my ramps. There's so much resistance getting up the ramps that once you hit the level part, it's a...

    Very nice! If it were me, I'd make the ramps a little longer, and for the piece to stop you from driving too far, I would put it on top and screw it down from the top, rather than into the back. ...
