Greetings from PA

Post by MrEd »

Hi all. I'm Ed. I just bought a used 2005 Vibe base model. It's actually for my daughter, but I'll be driving it a bit while she is just on her permit.

I'm not new to Toyota vehicles, as my first car was a 79 Celica and my wife drives an 04 4Runner. So far, I'm not disappointed with the Pontiac badged version here. Runs and drives great. It's pretty nimble, too, with our twisty roads around here. It's definitely a step up from the 98 Neon I traded in against it :D

Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say "Hi". I've already been perusing the maintenance sections and I'm sure I'll glean a bunch of good info from there.

Let us know about where you live, maybe we can all meet up locally sometime after the snow melts. Welcome to your second home. Lol

Entirely the other side of the state from you ;) I'm near Allentown.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!

A short trip. A mere 6 hours one way on some of the best roads in the USA. Maybe this summer the growing pa membership can meet up in a centralized location to enjoy the twisties and scenery.
