More than a year later, we have an answer: Mitsubishi has sold 11,800 el cheapo Mirage 3 cylinders in the U.S. in the first 5 months of the year - an underpowered, cheap penalty box of a car that sacrifices power, comfort, handling and refinement for good fuel economy and a rock bottom price starting around $13,800.

That generation of CRX actually started for the ‘88 model year IIRC. Great cars. I still miss my 91 CRX HF.
I did, did you?
Not at all. $800 - $1900 per ticket to see a football game for one afternoon. VS $390 for an entire week of an experience like (for better or worse) most people have never had in their lives.
Also, food for thought: tickets for the super bowl *start* at $800 and go up to $1,900 each, face value. Demand is so high that they have a ticket lottery, like burning man did one year. Scalpers/ticket agencies get at least $8,000+ for them (that was the cheapest one on stubhub) Plus travel costs and a hotel room for…
It is what you make of it. If you want to look at truly amazing large scale art installations (like an entire deco era movie theater showing B&W classic films, complete with a neon marquee and a candy counter) you can do that.
It was over 30,000 people nine years ago, and that year some people complained that it had gotten too big.
Don’t be silly, there are many hundreds of porta johns all over the place.
It’s 69,000 people. It’s almost everybody, from children to senior citizens and all ages in between. Straight, gay, bi, trans, Dem, independent, don’t care, poor to rich. The only group that is fairly consistently under represented that I’ve seen are black folks. There are even some hippies, but not that many. And…
How many other places produce that kind of excitement among people who go there?
My mistake, I was thinking of 1995. The Saturn S series sold 302,988 cars that year, making it the 4th best selling car that year, ahead of the Civic but behind the Taurus, Accord & Camry. The point stands, though - Saturn was a very good sales performer for GM for at least several years.
It used to be free, and on Baker Beach in San Francisco. Things change when you go from 30 people for an afternoon in a city to 69,000 people for a week in the middle of nowhere.
Also consider: Coachella is 3 days, and the cheapest 3 day pass for 2016 is $375. Burning Man is $15 more, for twice the time.
No. To clarify: If you’re actually officially working, your ticket is free (IIRC). The low income $190 ticket has no such requirements but they are means-tested and often given to people who help out on their own. I got one when I was between jobs because I bring tools, supplies, spare gas, a generator and fast…
IIRC Saturn was the third best-selling car in America in 1994. We sold tons of them in 1995, the year our dealership beat the local Lexus dealer for the #1 spot in customer satisfaction for our metro area. Pretty remarkable for a place selling $13,000 cars vs. their $40,000 cars.
How well informed is your opinion when you don’t even know how much a ticket is?
The regular tickets are $390 this year. Lazy writers more interested in getting a reaction than accuracy always mention the (intentionally much higher) presale ticket price rather than the regular price. The price premium of the presale tickets goes to fund the discounted ($190) tickets for people with low incomes who…
Safety Third: not just a slogan from the good old days
That’s a really bad idea. As others have mentioned, you’ll never ever get the bike clean. The dust is fine alkaline clay, so it’s both corrosive and highly abrasive, so your bolts will rust and the paint will be scratched.
