Hi Everyone,
It's been along time since I've been on this web-site but I'm back as my Vette is in storage and I've been driving my Talon allot lately. I'm probably one of the very few that can say I'm a orignal owner of a 1991 Talon, yep, I've owned her over 20 years. I purchased her in April of 1991, the month I got back stateside after being in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Her is a link to her: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2071109/1991-eagle-talon-tsi-awd-coupe-2d I managed to put 16,000 miles on her within four months after purchase but have cut waaaaayyyyy back on that and now she has 93,000 miles on her. She still looks new and I'm often asked "what kind of new car is that?" She has been stored every winter even though she is all-wheel-drive and I have winter only tires on the factory rims. She is my back-up vehicle in case my Expedition becomes inoperable during winter time. Flame me all you want for not driving her year round but she is my baby and since she has avoided Iowa's salty winter roads she doesn't have a speck of rust and has a mint interior.
I also owned a beautiful 1992 Talon TsiAWD but sold her last year Here is a link to her: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2071108/1992-eagle-talon-tsi-awd-coupe-2d She had the best sounding stereo and had MANY trophies to prove it.
Anyhow, besides saying "hi" the reason I'm posting is to find out if there is anyone who loves DSMs in Iowa? I really want to hook-up with someone who knows how to work on these as I have many parts I want to install over this upcoming winter.
Thanks
Jay
