I just bought a 2008

Post by fotobeth »

Hi, I'm new here but have been reading for a while and have enjoyed all of the knowledge shared here.
I owned a 2007 Vibe which was totaled last month. Some one put a riding lawnmower in the middle of the highway
and we slammed into it. No one was injured but my much beloved Vibe was put to rest. I love these cars so much that the search
began for another. I found an 08 with only 24,000 miles on Craigslist! Mint condition!! And because of what I have read here I have been adding "things"
to it. Wet Okole seat covers, new steering wheel cover, floor mats.... Thanks everyone!

Welcome to the forum, fotobeth!

Hmmm, we are gluttons for photos, fotobeth. Would you be so kind and indulge us with pictures?

Welcome! Yes, we like pictures! Great to hear that you replaced your Vibe, with another Vibe. I did the same when my 2010 GT was rear ended when my daughter was stopped at a light. I couldn't think of anything else I would like to own and drive that costs less than $10K, so I ended up with another GT. This time it was just for me, so I got what I wanted, a manual transmission. :D

Good luck your your second Vibe!

Welcome to GenVibe Beth! As others have already said, sorry to hear about the untimely demise of your first Vibe, but it's great to hear that you replaced it with a second one! Definitely post some pictures of both your Vibes when you get a chance ;).
