New owner

Post by Jschaf024 »

Hi,
New owner of an 05' vibe base model with 112,000. I've picked up some good advice on basic things already from the forums and wanted to say thanks. Figured I'd become a member and say hi. Still trying to figure out fixes/maintenance for the vibe yet, and I'm sure this will be a great resource.
Cheers

I think they call it a door check. It's a good excuse to go to the junk yard.
