    What was gas right before the Great Recession like $4.20 a gallon? Consider inflation by 2030 that's around $6, add in a late 70s style OPEC export cut... $10+ per gallon won't be unreasonable.
    Very well put.

    Wow, I eventually found one!!

    I've owned my Mirage for three months now, I've never seen one anywhere except at a Mitsubishi main agent. Our mate Dirk responded to another post I put on Youtube regarding that imbecile Doug. I mentioned to Dirk that they were rarer than hen's teeth.
    Today I went into Bramley centre to purchase some tincture (whisky) and there it was, the first Mirage I've seen in Blighty, so they do exist hereName:  IMG_20190806_113430.jpg

    Congrats - you found a hen's tooth!!

    I still rarely see any around my little city. There was a maroon one bouncing around here a week ago for a couple of days, but I never got a pic of it.

    According to you garage entry your Space Star is brown. So that blue one on the photo is not yours, and you didn't see it?

    What?
    Mine is bronze, I think it's called copper bronze. The blue one I saw is actually grey.

    There are two Mirages in the picture you posted. A dark black or gray one up front and a bright blue one parked in the background.

    Neither of them look like your Mirage.

    I was just in Charleston, South Carolina visiting my father and I saw at least 4 other Mirages including a G4. Theyre getting pretty popular in the southeast I believe because of the great used prices with no rust damage you can get down here.
