Well I just took the 2018 Mirage on a long weekend - 1300 miles - solo driver with a bag full of CDs. It's a comfy little cruiser for me. I didn't get the best mileage on this trip as I had the air on half of the time, and traffic for the most part was rolling at 70-85 mph. But I still saved $$$ over a larger vehicle and enjoyed the ride.
Oil change and tire rotation tomorrow at 113,000 miles.

I am sorry about the loss of your uncle, too! Sorry about the confusion there! My other comment was meant for Fummins.
Your uncle sounds like a cool dude that will be sadly missed by everyone. I've lost a few uncles the past 5 years or so, & I came away from their funerals learning stuff I never knew about them. All three of them were impressive in their own way. My mom was the oldest of 6 children, and I was the oldest grandson. My grandmother was only 39 when I was born. I have excellent memories of my grandparents, aunts, & uncles growing up. As I have gotten older, I never take that for granted.
I hope you have safe travels in whatever car you decide to take, & I apologize for focusing on the car discussion more than what's really important here. Your uncle sounds like someone who lived a great life! Those funerals aren't always the easiest to attend, but celebrating his life with relatives & his friends sounds awesome! Just pack some tissues in your pocket my friend.

I'd take the Lexus, you don't want you're "po-white trash" extended family thinking you're a limp wristed, communist, who cares about their carbon foot print do ya? Lol.

Ha! That was a good one! Even for me! I know ... I have a dumb sense of humor.
Actually I will be taking the Mirage. Save money, not roll in looking like a baller. And it is mechanically, PRIMED ready to go. The deciding factor is, I'm going alone. If I were taking more than 1 other person, or an older person, I'd take the Lexus.
I'll reply after the trip with some trip performance feedback. I'm sure it will be all good.

That would be fitting. I'd rather do train horns though...
