    Hello from Minnesota!

    Hi everyone,

    Just picked up a 15' Mirage! 5 speed manual. Picked up for right over $9,000 off the lot! Only 150 miles on it. I'm pretty excited because this is my FIRST brand new car I have ever owned. I've owned a 92' Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (sold), a 1996 Eclipse GSX (sold) and the wife currently has a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. I have been skimming through this forum and there are lots of extremely great information.

    So far, I've been averaging about 50 miles per gallon, according to the gauge. Coming from owning a 02' Nissan Maxima, gas savings is very much there!

    Hahah. Unfortunately, not a Star Trek reference. I have gotten that before. And thank you! I'll keep my updates here!

    My first 'mod' will be tints and probably a rear sway bar to get less body movement. heh heh.

    Playing around with photoshop. Not bad. I think this would be my goal for how it would look.

    That's a fantastic image! ^^ Real or photoshop?

    EDIT: big rear discs. Makes me think Photoshop.

    Is the original image yours? I love it.

    Haha. Unfortunately, it is photoshop. The rim/brake setup is straight from an Evo 8. haha.

    But really, this would be such an awesome setup.
