    You're right. No point in discussing the obvious.

    The Mirage is featured in quite a few crime stories sadly.

    Let's look at it through the lens of being Mirage owners. How in the hell do you think you can get away in a Mirage? I can't think of an easier car to bump and roll off the highway with our notorious body roll. Apparently these murderers led police on a long police chase? Do cops not try and bump getaway cars anymore?

    Seriously. And stop sticks should cause it to roll over. Or at the least rip out the oil pan!

    Police are less reluctant to engage in pursuits these days so the getaway car doesn’t have to be fast. Plus they slipped away before police even knew what happened in most of their crimes, making identification difficult.
