Some of you might remember I've been gone for nearly 4 months. Since then, I've noticed some of the older members eluding to the fact that their cars were not running.

I am curious. Is your Tib not running? If so, why? What are you driving now? How does it compare?

my tib is dead and hopefully giving up it's parts to more needy tiburons rather than rotting in a yard someplace.

Currently driving a BMW 318ti (the rare hatchback)

My Tib is running (for now). It's getting old now.

Sorry to lose you MM.

Hmm, radiator cracked at top, LED light on spoiler fell off, headgasket leaking oil, brake lights wouldn't turn off, DEAD battery.

All easy fixes except the tail light prob. No clue where to start. Also the fact that I have been sick as all hell for the last week, broke, and lazy adds to the fact that its been parked for over a month.

As soon as I get to it, I will get it running again, finish painting up the whole interior, put the HD skirts, pods, and hatch spoiler on after it all gets painted. Then I pray to god it runs until sometime in Jan then it will be for sale b/c I am getting PCSed to Osan, Korea and we arent allowed to have a vehicle.

I am at the time driving either my 3kGT VR-4(fast as fu*k), or my supervisors Aerio(very cumfy but not so cool).

I'm in the same boat. I know i should start overhauling the engine soon but I really don't wanna put my tib out of commission.

I Hydrolocked the motor on mine... and the insurance didnt help me out on it... so a junk yard took it, and now some kid has it as a project car.


I'm driving a 2005 Jeep Liberty. I like it, but its just not a good a drive as the Tib was...
