New Member from Oklahoma

Post by VibeMedic »

Greetings everyone,
I am brand new to the site but I've had my Vibe for just for just over 6 months and I'm loving it. I bought my '03 GT from a couple in Tulsa, Oklahoma who had gotten the car from their parents on the east coast. Even with 180k miles on the odometer, the car ran like new and rode much better than the SUV I had previously. Besides some minor maintenance work, and needing new tires, the only only issue it has had was a blown head gasket. With the head milled and the gaskets replace, it's back in action and hasn't had an issue since. It has a few mods, but nothing too crazy. It currently has an Injen CAI, a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system, and a Dual touchscreen head unit along with a Kicker subwoofer. I plan on making it a little faster as I get more money for it.

Welcome from a neighbor down south! Very nice looking Vibe, in one of the best colors for sure. A Salsa GT was my first choice in the 03-08 cars to replace my Red 2010 GT, but couldn't find one close by. Good luck with it!

That is one sweet vibe! Wish I had the money for that kinda build. It has given me some good ideas for some mods though! :D
