Hi everybody. I'm the proud new owner of a 2003 base vibe!
She/he (gender has yet to be revealed) has 139k miles, auto trans, red paint. It's been neglected by previous owners and is rough around the edges but everything works, no oil leaks and I picked it up for a great price. I've done a lot of work on it just in this past week since I bought it so I'll head over to the maintenance section and post it all there. Love this car!!!

Welcome to the forum and thanks for taking care of him or her! I've heard ultrasound is a great way to find out the gender of your baby.

Nice Vibe, despite the brushed paint.
I wish I had some mountains around here.

Re: Hello from obsessed new member!
Not a rough looking Vibe at all. The Red paint looks good in the pictures. Imagine there had to be some detail work involved on your part if it was rough. Nicely done.
Albuquerque to Atlanta is quite the move. From the dry of the west to the slightly "less dry" of the Southeast! Big change. Huge change.
Good luck with the move... and let us know how it goes. Imagine you'll be driving your Vibe. I've enjoyed trips in mine and it's an easy and comfortable car to spend time in. At least it fits me fine. Your tires look like they have good tread, an important point ahead of a long drive. Make sure everything's ship shape and that the tires are all at proper pressures before you launch across country. Big trips can be fun.
