Hello,

I am a proud owner of my first Tiburon SE 2006. I have wanted one since the first time they came out, but didn't get one till now and I must say that I am super happy to have one finally. I think I may start to become obsessed with it, lol!

I live in El Paso, Texas and I dont really like it here much, but I have things to do here that make it bearable. I am originally from Tucson, AZ.

I don't really know ANYTHING about Tibs except their body styles, but can't wait to start picking peoples brains about them. From what I have been reading you all seem like really great folks and I look forward to chit chatting and sharing on these forums. Thanks for the opportunity!

When you say "GK" -- thats in refference to the '06 body style?

As for power---seems nice so far hehe! The ABS brakes all the way around don't seem to be so great so far though, I will admit.

Ok, I tried so hard not to ask this question by looking around the Web to find a definition. I hate sounding like a straight up noob, but.....

What does "RD" stand for?

Welcome to the site!! Great intro post, be sure to get up some pics!
RD stands for Rider's Delight. RD1 is prehistoric (2000) tongue.gif, RD2 is the 2000-2001, and GK is '03 and up.
There's a big post with all the acronyms on it at http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtop...0&hl=greedy

Always search before starting a new thread, but don't be shy if it's not answered!
