Saw my project car get hauled away last night to be scrapped. Good clean, rust free 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage. Originally a 1.8 liter manual trans econo sedan. But I don't care. I loved it. It is my 4th or 5th fifth generation sedan. They are light, nimble, and fun to drive.
It was a candidate for a 6A13TT engine swap. But I lost "umph" once I pulled the 4g93 out of it. Drove it for about a summer, and loved it.
I was going to have someone else take over the project for me. But he could not get down here before we moved to pick it up. I had no way to move it to the new house since it was missing rear trailing arms and suspension.
I was a little upset. But I'll get over it. It was just a car...right?

No! Never! Any car is more than just a car when you spend time with it!

Could've always put it in the "free" section of Craigslist. Someone would've taken it off your hands. Seriously, a buddy put a broken washing machine on Craigslist, and in minutes, he had six people fighting over it.

I put it on CL, for sale as scrap. The guy gave me $100 for it, so there is that.

Yeah, that was my tongue in cheek point.
I would really like to get another one. Or a Miata. Or an old Celica. Who knows what I'll end up with. But I will always have a place in my heart for 5th gen Mitsu Mirage sedans.
