Speck :: 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES (Garage entry)

[Eggman]

Well folks, all good things must come to an end.

Speck has met an untimely demise. Another driver pulled out in front of me - Speck has been totaled.

Wow, it's been a year. Sure do miss that little car.

I still smile every time I see "Speck" appear on the forum!

I think Steve's Cheap Plastic Car & Speck were the two Mirages that I followed the most on the forum.

I can understand someone not replacing a Mirage with another, but I would guess most miss some aspects of the unique little car.

The year went by fast!

That song sort of draws ya in. Stood up and did a little hiney-dance here in the office.

The Mirage maneuverability was the best of any car I've ever driven. I could stuff that little car into the smallest of spaces, bigger cars & SUVs couldn't follow because they were too big. Parking was a cinch. Didn't have to worry about door dings in the parking lot it was so narrow. Super easy to drive. We (the family) often say how much we miss Speck. Our other cars are okay but take up so much space.

In other news driving insurance for new teen drivers is crazy expensive.

The whole album (Paul's Boutique) is stupid catchy. Now it's considered a hip-hop landmark.

How's the tesla and escape doing? How's ev insurance compared to Mirage?

I just got my renewal notice the other day....The cost of all our vehicles went up by $50-100/year so that's cool. I pay almost what I paid for my Mirage to insure it for a year with bare minimum coverage. Yay for inflation!

They're ok. They're just stupid cars that never stop costing money. We have too many cars, really.

I forget the numbers but it's not as bad as I expected, maybe another $100/6 months for the same full coverage. I mean, who likes paying for insurance? I sure didn't until my one claim for Speck paid out much better than I expected. Undamaged I might have been able to get that much by selling it - after the accident, no way.

That's not bad. The premium doubled on the Escape just by adding a new teen driver. Coverage for the Tesla and the CJ-7 are suspended since they're parked for the winter.
