Ride, Pontiac, Ride! (New Member Intro)

Post by valid »

Hi everyone! I just purchased my 2005 Vibe GT yesterday, and wanted to formally introduce myself.

My name is Sadie. I've been a Pontiac fanatic all my life, and after an unfortunate series of events with my beloved 2005 Sunfire ("Xena"), I had to move on and was driving a 2003 Subaru Forester ("Sequoia"). I also have a 1988 Fiero with a supercharged 3800 out of a Bonneville ("Yellow Car").

After months of deliberation and casual car shopping/research with my not-very-car-crazed husband, we managed to agree on a Vibe. This little GT was for sale at a detail shop not three blocks from our house. It was fate!

So far, I've only purchased new wipers for her and filled up a fresh tank of gas. More to come. :) I'm so excited to be back in a Pontiac and to have something fun to drive again!

I've also been friends with vibenvy for many years.. Hi Carrie! :D

Welcome to GenVibe Sadie. Another midwesterner? Location please. Looks like you may be in the same area as Carrie. Great find and you'll love the 6 speed manual. You'll fit in well here with the rest of us Vibe owners. Visit often :)

I updated the photo in my original post to reflect where I'm from; smack dab in the middle of Wisconsin. 8-)

Many thanks! She is my car-child. I've had her since I was 12 years old. :shock:
