Actually, from what I understand the late model Mirage's are pretty reliable. I mean, little stuff goes wrong with it, but it just wants to keep running. It's been good to me. It has no power and the body rolls more through the corners than my moms Expedition, but it's a decent little car. Especially since I can get 40+ mpg freeway.

I've had it for about 2 years. It has actually held up brilliantly. And believe me, I push that thing hard all day long. The only problem I've had with it is the suspension is starting to go, but a year driving on Tucson's TERRIBLE roads will do that to most cars. Other than that it still runs brilliantly

AZ has bad roads because the sun BAKES the tarmac. But since I live in a rich area, they do road work all the time so it's not terrible. Tucson is pretty bad though.

Yah

When you have a a temp spread of 150 degrees, and copious amounts of water flowing in the cracks of the pavement, then freezing, followed by giant plow trucks scraping the crap out of them. You get some really really nasty potholes.

Add a $50 million budget deficit, and you get no street repairs.

Its bad

And on that note, I have to sleep, Ill see you guys next week.

LOL someone called the cops on you.

Aaaaand the sun just came out here in beautiful Clinton, MD. This place is blacker than Baltimore, man. I thought it was deserted last night until I realized the people just blend in with the night. I would be an easy target here if white meat was on the shopping list.

here is my immaturity shining bright

there are a few animal rocks throughout ct. so far, i've seen this eagle, the lizard (shich i never knew about), a shark, a fish, and i'm pretty sure a turtle.

Guess what? YES!Mwahahahahahahaah.

Fridays make me happy. I'm NOT going to sleep all day today. I'm going to USE the time by being awake. I hate it when I sleep all day...makes the weekend feel like it didn't happen. Last weekend I was sick so I slept the whole weekend. It sucked. Stupid sick. Not this time.

It actually took me a few minutes because it kept finding McDonalds restaurants all over Tennessee. I had to search for "mcdonald, tn, usa" before it found it.
