    That's a 2 min fix... But good point. I forgot about the most obvious change.

    Back when Canada was going metric Kmart and Sears auto centres sold this goofy sticker thing that went over over your existing speedo with the metric markings, HUGE, like almost blocking the needle out. It looked like sH#t on the dash, Or you could buy a gear adapter that went inline where the speedo cable exited the tranny and the right numbers would show by the greatly increased gearing. The 100 mph indicated on the speedo dial was now geared to show that value when going 100 kmh. Lots of speeedos I recall only went to 110 mph so you only knew your speed to 110 Km/h, after that you were flying blind. Besides, many speedos were wildly out @ 110 mph so you could be going anywhere from 90mph-115mph.

    so there guys, you have 2 ways of a speedo fix. Hell, just toss an obsolete garmin GPS on velcro and stick it in front of the Mirage speedo! tpms has me stumped.

    Sadly, many of the low mileage Mirage ES manuals are Carvana or CarMax vehicles in our area, and they are priced quite high.

    The 2019+ has factory cruise, but you probably already know that.

    Decent deal but farther away -

    The Mirage blue is my favorite color. I've only seen 1 in the wild at our local hospital. I have dreamed of owning one with a matching leather interior and carpet.

    You'd like my little Blueberry, cause it's blue. And you're right, blue is the best color. It makes it faster in a straight line, in acceleration, and slaloming around shopping carts and baby strollers in parking lots too. And they tow way better when blue.

    Whoa! what's the weight of that thing? The trailer alone must be 400 lb? I also like the blue because you can hide in a 6 qt. basket of berries when the cops are on your tail! They'll never, ever see you.

    The trailer alone is about 875 lbs. if I remember right. The golf cart must be 1,000 lbs. with all those batteries. And there was 5 of us in the car. But, I only towed this about 2 or 2.5 miles, and only got up to maybe 40 mph. It towed it quite nice, but I wouldn't have wanted to go further or faster. I was rescuing this boy (I know from the bmx track) who's grown up with no father in the picture, and a mother that quickly goes through men. His golf cart battery was plum dead.

    You're braver than I. One fine summer day I moved my Burgman, about 450 lb. on a crap trailer weighing about 400 lb. and I kept to secondary roads to keep my speed under 40 mph.

    Good thing you weren't going that far. Hate to have to berry your Mirage if you killed it.
