I've always been a RWD V8 type person, but after seeing a friend go through 2 Tiburons, one a turbocharged I4, I decided this time around I might try something new. I went searching around for New Tibs, and stumbled upon a one owner Moonlit Blue 2006 with 22 thousand miles for a lot less than most 04-05's were going with more miles. After some heckling with the dealer I proudly drove it off the lot.
It's an automatic, with the black and red leather interior, which I love. I had T-tops on my last car, but they were kid of a pain in the ***, the moon roof on this car is completely different. I love it, and it's so much easier than the T-tops. The digital climate control is nice as well, and I find much amusement in being able to see how hot it is outside with the push of a button
. The premium sound is actually pretty nice, and the factory sub has a bit of thump, but I replaced the stereo with Alpine stuff I had from my previous car. Also the previous owner who was a Tib fanatic wanted to keep his wheels for the 08 he bought, so he put the stock 08 wheels on my car, which I actually like a lot but will probably put something aftermarket on anyway.
Here's the mod list which includes completed and future mods. If there is a date by it, I have it completed on said date.
