@EssExTee Steal a hubcap.

I'm tellin' all y'all it's sabatoge.

[ibRAD]

@CB That's going to be in my head all afternoon now.

Can't stand it. I know you planned it.

@EssExTee Similar

[WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4]

When you got closer did it disappear?

[Roundbadge]

@EssExTee Imagine my surprise, seeing this when I was already listening to Ill Communication.

[Mr.Ontop]

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 this is an underappreciated comment.

[foghat1981]

the original video is of course a masterpiece, but the Beavis & Butthead commentary just makes it that much more awesome

[farscythe]

@EssExTee huh....my mil has that exact car... but with alloys

[nerd_racing]

Is it bad that I want one in Green?

le sigh

[ash78]

I've been waiting my entire life for a sassy "MSBTCHY" tag but still haven't seen it. Damn censors!

[ash78]

@foghat1981 B&B elevated EVERY single video they touched, and I swear that a solid 30% of all of their videos ended up in my music collection in some form.

They were the real tastemakers.

I give you no context, just this picture

[DuckDuckGreyDuck]

@EssExTee a snake?

[p4nc4k7]

I'll say it.

Has anyone ever driven these out on the highway or a steep hill?

[EssExTee]

@p4nc4k7 I've driven an automatic Geo Metro, this can't possibly be much worse.

[p4nc4k7]

@EssExTee Or a Chevy LUV truck even.

[RallyDarkstrike]

@EssExTee Nice! I would still get a new Mirage as a replacement for Humdrum someday when the time comes...

I had an automatic one for a rental once. It was very bad. But it was an automatic and a well worn rental. I'd like to test drive a manual one. I have had friends who loved theirs.

@EssExTee I saw a new Mirage the other day with the effects package option. I really liked it. I wish Mitsubishi would stick a turbo four cylinder in it and make a proper hot hatch.

Yes, my brother has one he bought new last year, with the CVT. He has done several road trips, including one I took with him to pickup my STI.

It is slow compared to enthusiast cars, but the thing I realized both as passenger and while driving it is that for normal traffic, it accelerates at part-throttle well enough to keep pace or even pass other cars doing the normal part-throttle accel - most people aren’t racing red light to red light.

On the highway it gets to highway speeds easily, fuel economy differs significantly between sustained 70mph and 85mph though. Passing at highway speeds is not a quick affair unless you are on the downslope of a hill, but other than that it was comfortable, stable, and quiet enough at speed.

It has been a great car and despite the pricepoint, comes with a lot of features factory. Power windows/locks, keyless entry and start, steering wheel controls, CarPlay infotainment, to name a few. It is well built, handles well, is shockingly comfortable even for extended drives, has an honest ‘cheap car’ vibe that doesn’t feel janky, and lots of little clever Mitsubishi things (yes they can be very clever when they try) such as retaining pockets for the rear seatbelts to keep them out of the way when the rear seats are folded down. The CVT is a CVT (bleh) but it feels okay here - I’m not sure the manual would improve the experience unless they did a good job gearing it and setting up the shift linkages for good feel. Fuel economy is the real jewel of it. He averages 39-42mpg which is twice what any of my current cars get.

[orneryduck]

Also fair to mention there is a supercharger kit for these that takes them from 70hp to 100hp. I would love to have a purple or yellow one, with the supercharger and suspension enhancements.

[Napoli]

@orneryduck I’m going to live vicariously through @RallyDarkstrike. I vote for a supercharged Mirage to replace Humdrum.

An Accent drove past my office the other day.

[orneryduck]

I’m sour that this is only a Photoshop jobbie and that it doesn’t exist in our world.
