Holy Smokes that's some crash. Glad you both are ok. There was a lady that died last year when she swirved to avoid a deer but she went head on into a tree. So now you get penalized if you don't hit the deer.

I agree free meat!

I dont know about the mazda 6 making a tibby look like a honda sick...I talked to a local performance shop today and they said a tibby GT can go faster from 0-60 than a corvette. I dont know how much B/S that is but i dont know about mazda 6's. Id go with a RX-7 or 8 if i went mazda

Ouch! Sorry to hear about you're accident, glad you guys were able to walk away though. As for the tiburon, I say go for it its a decent looking little car. Probably harder to roll too.

Aw man, that really sux. You have (well kinda more had at this point) a really good lookin rig there. I say get another one man, dont give in to the eco friendly little rice burner. Heck imagine (heaven forbid) if you got in a another accident in a pocket rocket, bad times. Stick with the blazer, get a brush guard and show those deer you mean business.

Don't ever go to that shop again!A Vettewill run0-60 in abouthalf the time a tibby gt does. A better comparison would be a Blazer and a tibby gt then that haha...how much money are you looking to spend on a new car? I was trying to get a nice sports car last summer but I was always to busy with work and needed my car so it was hard to try and sell it. Just give me a price range and what your looking for and I'll help you out the best I can. Considering tibby gts are around $10,000 some good cars would be- Focus SVT,Civic SI, Integra GSR, Talon TSI/Eclipse GS-T/GSX, Mazda 3, VW Jetta/GTI/Golfand thats about all I can think of for sport compacts now. For sports cars-3000gt VR4/stealth awd, LS1 Camaro/Trans Am, 300ZX TT,Mustang GT's or Cobra's and thats about all I can think of right now. Make sure when checking them out to check over them very good as sports cars are usually very very abused.

DSM products can be iffy with durability at times

Tibby's aren't bad little cars... Not something I'd personally buy for myself, but that's because FWD = EVIL, and not the good kind.

I'm keeping my eye out for a nice '85 Toyota Corolla GT-S hatchback, myself, lol.

100% pure BS.. that "shop" prolly has very little repeat business and some really STOOPID workers to feed you that line... If you go with a rotary powered car, you better find the best damn wankel mechanic in your area, those cars are very high and expensive maintence.

Ive rented em both, the 6 and the tibby, I had alot more fun in the 6 and with 4 doors you get a very nice insurance break over the 2 door gt.


As far as DSM problems I thought that they were done...if you get a newer mitsu you will not have the infamous DSM crankwalk.

You did have full coverage on the ZR-2 right?
