    Yeah, I realized when I was snapping that pic that it's a very unusual driveway: one of the only houses on that street WITHOUT an SUV. And definitely the only house with TWO economy cars.

    Not a new million dollar house, but probably around 500k. Pic doesn't show it's the end of a triple unit. One more triple to be constructed on the empty lot to the left, then they get sod delivery.

    Drive Cheep Cars, put money on the Mortgage until it's paid, then get the "Vette & the Porsche"... Works for me. I like it

    AtomicPunk: I'm an engineer, and that kind of engineering is child's play for me. OK, Ok, ok, I jest. I used to be an automotive engineer (I mainly did seats). And now I do much more boring stuff than seats. I can barely stay awake to do my job. That's why I come in here on the forums, to wake me back up! What amazes me MORE than the amount of metal flying around, is that an oxygen / fuel mixture in itself can keep up that pace, and that the flame rate that oxygen / fuel burns is quite capable of sustaining that piston speed / rate. And then put all that amazing crap together and man has made it work so smoothly.

    When I'm driving my Lexus and feels like I'm floating down the road at 80 mph, I consider what's going on inside the cylinders is amazing and that I'm so isolated from it.

    As for the 3 cylinder sound, I don't believe any motorcycle engine sounds better than the Triumph triples, when pushed. The ole 70's Japanese triple 2-stroke engines are right there with them. That sexy little 2 stroke puff of smoke might push them over the top.

    Someone near where I live REALLY likes Sparks.

    And these aren't the $10k Special Canadian Poverty Editions.
    One is probably a parts car?

    I stumbled upon a twin to my car the other day on realtor.ca
    Attachment 23270 It was a relatively fancy house with a not so fancy car.

    Supposedly Chevy still taking dealer order of the Spark even with the manual transmission. Plus $750 cash incentive is available too.

    I wonder if this forum has anything to do with Mirage numbers going up? Not sure about the low Spark numbers? I noticed on most of the GM forums I've lurked, there's always some GM customer care person that constantly tries to have people go to a dealer rather than complain about their cars online. Sometimes might be nice to have someone to complain to when the dealer won't help you out I guess. I forgot where I was going again...
