    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.

    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:

    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.

    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

    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.
