Re: What made you sell/partout your DSM?

Bought my 93 awd Talon from my mother (original owner that daily drove it for 8 years and misses it everyday since she sold it to me) and tried out a bit of drag racing. Had some fun in the stock setup and came out with a few trophies. Got into rallycrossing and had a blast! After a while it got a little old and I wanted a bit more of a challenging drivetrain setup. Sold it 5 years after I bought for $200 less than what I paid for it and turned over rallycross duties to my CRX. FWD was fun for a while, but it just wasn't what I wanted. Then got the bright idea to go to an MR setup (mid engine-rwd). Bought an old MR2 and absolutely love it for dirt racing. So much more smiles-per-run than the talon or CRX ever was.

Sadly now I'm looking at parting ways with the MR2 also for family reasons (little one coming in January). When I get back into dirt racing though, it will be a mid-engine/rear drivetrain that I pick.
