Hey all,
So this is the introduce yourself forum, eh? Well, lets see. As of August of this year I'm the very proud owner of a Blue 2001 Tib, 5 speed of course. smile.gif It came (through a used dealer down near Chicago) with a quality looking CAI and a nicely painted dash, along with a single underglow tube in the front that I both don't need and can't figure out how to turn on... I think it's beautiful, especially considering I upgraded to it from a 1994 Nissan Sentra. I loved the sentra, mind you, but it's just not in the same league. smile.gif
I'm currently a student at Grand Valley State University in my third year, hopefully I'll be graduating from here in a year and a half with a Information Systems degree. Any of you around the area should keep an eye out for me. I spend a bit of time in downtown Grand Rapids since I've also got classes down there. On the side I run a web design business at leeward design (shameless plug, forgive me. wink1.gif).
As for what I plan on doing to my car... well... if it's cheap I'll probably consider it. smile.gif Being a college student and all I don't make a whole lot extra cash. I've got a nice sub setup back home (2x Sony xplode 12"s, Rockford Fosgate 900 watt sub amp, 1 farad Cap, and a smaller Bolt rear amp) that came out of the Sentra that I may put in if I don't find someone local that wants to buy them. I burned through 4 alternators in the Sentra because of the sub draw, and that was without pushing it hard or often, so I'm a bit leary of putting it in this car without investing in a higher-output alt or getting mine rewound. Anyways, I'm also considering putting new rims on the car when I replace the tires before this winter (yes, I'll be driving it year round, I can't afford to buy a winter car... and common, this is Michigan, if you can't handle the snow you should move to Indy) so I'm still looking for a decent priced set of rims to do that with.
So yeah, there ya go. I'll probably be around for a while. I'm still figuring out my new car... I knew my old sentra backwards and forwards (B13 body style with a GA16DE engine) but I still don't even have down completely which model is which for the tib. smile.gif
I'll see you all around!

No kidding? You coming in as a frosh?
Here's some pics, by the way. They're the ones the dealer sent me when we were discussing a deal, I haven't taken any since then.

No, transferring from community as a Jr. I'm a 28yo displaced michigan worker like so many of us that are in college right now. After GVSU I'll be at Cooley Law in GR. So for anybody that needs a Lawyer in 5 years, hit me up. cool.gif
