Default Tiburons are 20 years old

Isnt it crazy to think that Tiburons are now 20 years old? The first ones came out in 1996 as revision A's (they were labeled as 97's though I think). Good to see that theres still a lot of RD1s and 2s out there riding around in great condition.

Super clean Tib! People don't realize that the beta's can last forever if properly taken care of.

WRC Rally San Remo 1999. Drivers: Kenneth Eriksson and Alister McRae.



I still have mine and I still love it. It's still one of the coolest and most unique cars on the road. I'll never get rid of mine! 90's man! Good times! Best generation! No seatbelts. No cell phones/tablets/computers/Justin Bieber. We had Jurassic Park Tiburons (rally ones) and Supras man. The Tiburon cockpit was inspired by an airplane cockpit. Tell me the same for your vehicle.

^ Last pic I took. Mine's a late 96. Haven't driven it in forever though. It still sits in the driveway, waiting for the day I can finally finish it
