Thread: This is where your Mirage is going to rust out. (Body/chassis corrosion)

Tropical climate in my country, no snow whatsoever, but plenty of rain.

    2015 Mitsubishi Mirage, GLS trim. 3A92 engine, manual transmission.
    Wow, that looks torn more than it is rusted out. Insanely rough roads over there? I've never seen that happen before.

    Is that a Mitsubishi Delica in the background?

    I agree with Fummins... It looks more like the mount point was torn out - work fatigued metal? Doesn't look like a rust-out situation.

    I saw a Nissan 370Z in a parking lot the other day. Nice car...except it had developed a nasty case of rust in the same spot where it's a problem for the Mirage...

    I wonder if being a spilly talker while fueling up might be a factor I'm not sure why I can remember that commercial and not the wifes birthday.

    That's freaking hilarious. That guy is yet another reason why some people give up beer for weed.
