Remember, its not about how fast or expensive it is compared to your friends, it's the learning process along the way that you develop when spending time with the car. Good luck with the car, and remember to put some cash aside for school :P

this is a good point but on the flip side,....this is a classic example of how rice was born.
kids get a first car and start throwing crap on it to make it "cool" instead of driving it as is (spending money only to keep it running)while saving for something that already is cool.

a tib is a decent car but it isn' worth sinking a bunch of money into it.
there's a reason that there's jack squat for aftermarket.

@XMD,you've been given a **** fine first auto.
cherish that fact but don't forget that it is what it is.
if you want fast then work hard and save up for fast.
if you want cool then work hard and save up for cool.

there's been a bit of talk about turd polishing and none of it's correct...
"you can polish a turd but in the end it's still a turd"
not calling the tib a turd...lol... but there's no reason to dump a ton of money into it.

my suggestion would be to drive the hell out of it and save for school like ping pong( or as they say in chinese,"ping pong") said, get a job and save for what you REALLY want.

ok, got pics of interior. painted accents white several months ago...just now even took pictures of it. though now considering going for black/red

and i haven't spent much money into this. after having the car for 2 years, i'm actually very appreciative of the car, and have been taking care of the car the best i can

it's your money and your car man, do what you will with it.
i wasn't trying to come down on you or anything,only offering a suggestion and making a point.
i do like the white accents though.....nice touch.

thanks
i was thinkin' white because a lot of the red or blue accents i saw seemed too blaring and gaudy. though i am now thinking of laying down some cheap black paint then doing a partial CF wrap with gloss black and thin red pinstripes for everything else
