Hi all, got some news, as it looks like I'll be selling/parting out the tib. Been going through a lot with the car lately, with inspection issues, poor bodywork/paint coming out over time, scraping/cracking the kit recently, and having a woman back into my new fenders and front bumper on the Fourth of July.

Put a lot of sleepless nights thinking about it, and I'm basically done customizing this car. And considering the joy of this car came mostly from the act of customizing it, my hobby with it is disappearing.

Looking to get something like an Element, or something more rugged that will handle the winters here in NY. Rav4 or a Subaru or something... I'm just not a fan of the Tuscons.

I still have some thinking to do about it, but I'm pretty sure my mind's made up about it though.

Absolutely no dibs yet, I'll start a thread for that when the time comes. drillsergeant.gif

that sucks to hear man. your car was definately one of the nicest rd2s around. if you do leave, you atleast gotta drop by every now and then. at least to do shirts if nothing else. good luck

ooooooohhh damnit. one of our best guys!!!! nooooooooooo! everybody's leaving! i guess it's not worth modifying hyundais. we all find this out the hard way. i really didn't want to wake up to this though coming from one of the longest most upfront guys on here and the coolest cars on this site.

please do stick around if you sell her luke. and if you sell her please let it be someone good. i hope you reconsider but if you must do so then it's proper...

if you want something rugged, check out the new Santa Fe maybe? i know i'm not buying you out but it definitely looks better than 99% of SUV's out there. i bought my car because it's durable (on the outside) but i've been out in the country dirt roads and can tell you the tiburon is strictly a city car.

Mate, get an EVO... that's AWD & rugged... kinda wink1.gif

That's why you should mod your car super slow, like me... you'll never wake up & think "I've done all there is to do... I think I might sell the car today!" fing02.gif
