    Do you guys really want a mortgage rate thread?

    I read this weekend that one major Canadian bank is now offering a sub-1% mortgage rate for the first time ever. No wonder house prices have gone crazy, even through the pandemic.

    Yeah man give this thread the purge. "Loan rate and other bs" is the thread we need.

    I have not received negative comments (that I’m aware). No kids or strangers pointing finger or making funny gestures either. Small compact cars are pretty common where I live, like Chevy Spark and Nissan Note. When I go to a more suburb area, then I start getting more bombarded with bigger “muscle” cars like trucks and full size SUVs. A couple of friends complimented that they liked the car (not sure if they were just being polite). When I took my car to get serviced last time, the mechanic randomly said he loved this car and it’s great on gas and comfortable (don’t know about the latter). I was pretty surprised he knew about the car. He said his brother has one and the brother loves it as well.

    Actually, neither negative or positive, but 2 times I caught a stranger in the parking lot checking out my car with curiosity and interest. They both were older Asian males (I believe they’re Japanese). Different cities. One spent a good few minutes looking at it front to back.

    I don't have a Mirage. Maybe I just run with a different caliber of people but I've received lots of positive remarks about the '16 Versa even though it has a rebuilt title. I bought it in Feb. '19 for $5300. with only 10K miles. I learned a long time ago not to pay much attention to snippy remarks about what I drive. I bought an '88 Ford Escort Pony in '93 for $500. it had 146K miles on it and didn't even have a radio. I used it for a work car often driving 100-200 miles a day to and from work on construction sites. I drove it until about '11 and retired it with 518K miles and was getting 40+ mpg. The only reason I retired it then was because I have chronic back pain and it needed more work done to it than I felt like undertaking and I wasn't paying someone $50-$100 an hour to work on a car with over a half million miles. As they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

    Insult or compliment?

    Yesterday I got:

    "Is that a Honda Fit?"

    You answered, "Why yes it is." Right?

    I've gotten snippy remarks about my car before, I've also had one or two people say they said my Mirage is a good looking car. Is my car AWD. Is my Mitsubishi fast? You have to notice the details with it beyond first glance. They think it's a Fit or a Fiesta. Pick your small car. I parked next to an old first gen Echo the other day at Home Depot drive in pickup, and my Mirage does look similar. The front on my 14 looks like a Lancer. And then the back has a huge spoiler. So there is a lot going for a Mitsubishi Mirage. Mitsubishi hosts a PGA golf tour.

    Last weekend a little old lady told me my car is a nice little car, and she learned to drive in a small car like that. Probably the first positive comment I have gotten.
