Drove my Mirage to work again. Every day is the same thing. I pass the same cars every day, and the same farms.
Today was day 8 of the bad heat wave we're having in Ontario, and I have no AC in my Mirage. The thunder grey dark grey paint was not a good choice. Anyway today the rain came finally, and it's cooled off. But the humidity made my Mirage's windshield all foggy all the way home.

Dspace9: Beaded seat cover! I swear by them for non-AC cars, and that's the vast majority I've owned.
I haven't been running the air in my Mirage during this heatwave.

I haven't seen a beaded seat cover in at least 15yrs! Then again they don't really sell cars without a/c here either...

Beaded seat cover eh? Great idea thanks MetroMPG. Never would have thought of that myself.
No AC and also roll down windows in the back, power windows in the front. I can manage to roll down the back window behind me while driving, but not the right side passenger window. So 2 power windows 2 roll downs isn't as convenient for sure if you have no AC.
Edit Bralexander true enough eh, Florida is hot but I have lots of good memories there, even key west back when I was a kid.

Ha - that cover is at least 15 years old. I only put it in the car for the month or so of "hot" weather we get each year. I dunno if they still sell them, but that one came from Crappy Tire. The great thing about them is they let the air flow behind your back/butt.

Well, I had some time and wanted to test some things out this evening, so...
I started with a hitch adapter that has some rise to it. It fit PERFECTLY, like it was custom made for the Mirage!
Then I threw my bike rack on it that I used on my last car, a full size suv. I was hoping to use this one for the time being until I can get a better rack, with a higher weight limit. Unfortunately, it looks like I will just be selling this rack, as it sticks out WAY too far with the adapter. I had planned on upgrading anyways, because my new ebike weighs 70+ lbs and the weight limit of the rack is 100lbs, so I could only transport the ebike by itself, which would be bummer. Anyways, it all technically does work, but I don't have any faith in it
I also filled the tank today. 41.9mpg
