Default Mirage Metallic 996 in the desert (lots of pics)

The Mirage Metallic 996 really came into its own at Joshua Tree . . . almost a desert stealth machine.

Nice pics. Very nice looking car.

Change that headlight bulb before you get a ticket!

I saw one that color at the track 2 weeks ago. Really liked it!

Nice pics and sweet looking car!

BTW - If you didn't have the black bra on the car, I don't think I would have spotted the car in the 1st pic!

Thanks. The headlight problem is not the bulb, not the fuse and not the wiring. My mechanic says its an internal problem with the entire headlamp unit ($700 to replace). Fortunately, the other bulb in the unit comes on when the engine is running, so no tickets. (And the brights also work.) I keep meaning to post about this issue on here.
