Ha - what year Buick? I started with a 1974 Century and the Mirage is a flat-cornering sports car in comparison.
Because context matters, you see.
Purchased in June of 2018 to save fuel and as a reliable daily driver. Installed OEM Cruise and a few little things here and there.
Gets 45MPG with 50 happening fairly often. Enjoyable little car imo.
Nickname is from TMNT.
Day I picked it up vs now
Added the OEM console an hour after I bought it.
OEM Cruise installed.
Some NOS (New old stock) Momo leather shift knob, since i hate the bland stock one.
Working OEM Cruise.

You will have to update the details for Sunset - it's no longer stock. What else you got planned?

I updated some of the details.
I can't imagine I'll do much else to it. Maybe mess with etacs (Outside Temp, Fog Lights, DRLs) and probably some sound deadening down the road in the doors but that'll be the extent of it.
Sunset has been renamed to Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...since it's a turtle..and it's Orange.
The sticker was purchased to match:
At about 3.2k right now.
I finally found a shift knob I like too. $8 leather eBay special.
Re-christened! Did you smash a bottle of champagne on the bow?

Not yet!
But I was just talking to a friend and I swear even with it's payment I'm saving money monthly with the amount I drive. LOL.
I'm loving the car.
Oh, and I found some neato OEM Mitsubishi hubcaps, you all just need to wait a bit for the reveal.
Not super exiting really but I found these fantastic first gen eclipse hubcaps. This might be the only Mirage with decent looking hubcaps out there. Lol
There. I'm not changing the hubcaps anymore. Lol
Figured I might put out an update.
Had my first oil change, right around 5900 miles in early December. Currently at 6800. Other then some brake squeak in the morning, nothing has come up.
Fogs are still working well.
Still enjoying the darn thing. Once the 19s have been out for a bit, I'll start looking for a base 6 way seat, I'd like to have the height adjustment.
