Cheap used Mirages you've seen for sale?

[Fummins]

What's the urgency for rad support / rad / front clips for these cars? Are you guys hitting something? Or does hitting smaller animals (like kitty-cats) doing damage to the front of the car? Or hitting snow / snow banks during the winter? Or is there some kind of defect with the front of the cars that I'm not aware of?

It seems kind of sudden (to me) but as of late it seems like rad supports are all the rave. Maybe it's just a coincidence because I'm stupid.

The rad supports bend easily cause they're made of tin foil and notice that these often cars crash into the backs of other cars. The only defect is the driver. Most wrecked Mirages I see are hit in the front either from rear ending someone or the other driver made an unsafe left turn into a Mirage or blew a stop sign and crashed into a Mirage. Most front end wrecks are fixed if the frame rails aren't bent. Just bolt a new rad support on and whatever other sheet metal is bent and you got yourself a new car.

Mine had already been tacoed by the PO hitting parking blocks or curbs.

The blue one? The racecar, that was a racecar?


Anywho, sort of short story. When I worked at this really (enter your favorite derogatory foul adjective) automobile manufacturer, they had a whole heap of brand new (unpainted, called) whitebodies, (even though they were not white), sitting outside waiting to be (creatively and unceramoniously) crushed. I was with my friend and I decided to go ahead and leave a really nice fist dent in the direct center of the hood of a select unit.

I'm a really strong guy (yeah, I know, smell's not everything) and an x-football player. And I whomped that hood hard enough to crush Bruce Lee's skull. It was loud as hell, we were a quarter of a mile from the main plant, and people standing outside the plant over there turned to see what happened. I swear I think I caused a boxer break from that, but just went on with life. I hit that thing dead center in the hood, harder than Ivan Drago can hit ... and it barely left a dent. Yeah, it hurt. I wonder what would happen to my cute little heavy haul tow rig racecar Bluberry's hood, if I did that?

A couple hours later, a backhoe with some dumbass unrelated heavy attachment non-chalantly crushed that hood to the ground, then the roof to the ground, then the trunk to the ground, then side-swiped the door areas and caved them down on top of the roof .. like it weren't no thang. Amazing I says. That whole heap of white bodies got skwarshed like that. What a waste of material.

You would dent it pretty badly. On my first '14 ES, the windshield got busted and the replacement place dented both front fenders just leaning against them doing the install. You can literally bend any piece of sheet metal in these cars with your bare hands.

Driving through the blow dryers of an automatic car wash is a good reminder of the tin can you're in!

Someone snagged a deal in Alberta! Listed as sold between the time I got the alert and opened it!

$2000 for a 2015 scratch 'n' dent special. Right up my alley...
