Well guys, this is a moment deep in my brain I new would come sometime, but I never wanted to consciously recon as a true thought.
My reality changed, I am going to be a father and I needed another car, bigger and with four doors so the quest for another car begun and I constantnly evaluated the new car market (not too expensive) and I found NOTHING worth $$$ performance wise; so I settled into "I am going to get a medium sedan, no matter how powerful it is" and what seemed to be the best profile for me was a 2005 Mazda 6i. (pics below).

As for the Tibs luck, I sold it to a friend that does not know a lot about mechanics, but he had a Tib in the past and he knows and appreciates all I did to mine (AirRam, heather, 1.8 cam, Cai, full suspension, brakes, etc).

The Tib was a faithful companion, but it was time for a change and I got good $$$ for my 97 RD.

This site is by far the best automotive forum (dedicated to one model) I've seen, I hope to stay in touch, I haven't been much around here lately, but that is because it would have been impossible to sold the Tib if I was gettint in here everyday.

THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED (a lot of members) I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING A RDTib MEMBER (...with a car....)








And the glorious and always to be remembered Tib:

 

Nice choice man, Mazda 6's are a good ride.

 

Sorry to hear it my man, it'll be good to see you stay around.

 

I'll definitely stay around... this site is awsome; and if there is any help I can give with the experience gathered in these 5 years with the Tib, I'll share it.

I might live outside the US, and I might not have meet with you personally, but you guys are my friends.

BTW, I am traveling to the US on second half april, I'll be in the Palm Beach area, any chances you are going to be there?

 

Nope, I'll be here in ABQ.

 

That was one clean 97 also. Good luck with the new ride.

 

Sad to see you go, congrats with the mazda.
