    Hi from Canada, you have a green Mirage eh? Is that why the kids call your car turtle? That's funny. I would add the side skirts, and other things to make the body look sportier. I am not much for chrome accessories myself. Some people like that look. Mine is a 2014 so your front grille is the exact same as I have. Looks more like a Mitsubishi Lancer.

    Welcome to the forum, Gus. Lots of knowledgeable & helpful people around here, as I'm sure you discovered lurking.

    What made you decide to get such an oddball little car?

    Thank you all for the warm welcome.
    Dspace9 - she's all black like the snapping turtles we have out here. Only Chrome on her is the badges and I added a DAKAR badge that makes it look official. Lol.

    Eggman & inuvik - cheers gents

    Precisionxt - sweet!! I'm next to Newark and Haslet of 287

    Metrompg - ever since going to Germany and Poland I fell in love with little cars. My buddy always brags about his old mini fitting everywhere. Main reason is mpg but I drive her hard and fast. The stick shift makes a huge difference.
