Howdy

Just picked up a 2003 Vibe GT with just over 29K on it. Sort of new to the Vibe world so I don't know the technical name of the color, but it's basically gray with a charcoal interior and body-color fenders. So far it's a fun little car and I'm still discovering all the ways I can stow things in the back. Given its Toyota heritage, snappy performance, good mileage, and utility, I look forward to many happy years with this car as my daily driver.Cheers!

I would say it's the platinum. Maybe when I get home to my camera I'll throw some pics up. No mods yet, and I'm probably not going to go too overboard, but the car is about as optioned as they come (6-disc in-dash, sunroof, etc.). Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to GenVibe... I joined not to long ago myself and have found this place very informative. Now I am always wanting to add this and that - to keep up with everyone else!

Viberationz- Thanks for the welcome. I don't know if you saw, but I added a reply to an old thread of yours that might answer your question about sway bars. If I wasn't clear enough or you want more info, let me know.Man, y'all live in some cold places. I was upset this morning when it was a little chilly in my t-shirt. Duluth is barely habitable

Haha, oh, no, I mean I was upset here in Houston because I was almost uncomfortable in my t-shirt this morning. It's been in the high seventies-low eighties for weeks. I just happen to know that Duluth is barely habitable because my parents used to live there. They used to ice-race on Lake Michigan with the Archer brothers.

Unfortunatly (feelin' like a jack (removed)) I don't know F. But to be able to wear t-shirts sounds nice - Luckily we have had a mild winter but I am used to -20C to -40C. We haven't had much snow either - which is also pretty odd. I don't even drive my Vibe in the winter here, although this year is seeming pretty pointless to have it parked away in the garage.

Yikes. Well, I'm a former northerner, so I like to give my ex-brethren a good ribbing whenever the cold rolls in up there. To translate, 80 is about the temperature where you would be pretty uncomfortable inside, but outside in a breeze it's the warmer side of really nice. 70 is just below room temperature.

Thanks for all the welcomes! Sorry I haven't gotten pics up yet, but embarrasingly enough I can't seem to find my memory card and reader at the moment, and my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive (my camera also accepts floppies, old skool) and my ethernet cable won't reach my main 'puter. Sigh. I swear I will have them up soon. Btw, since we were discussing it earlier, I actually believe my Vibe is moonstone... (sort of appropriate for Houston, eh?).

So as soon as I say I can't find it...Here is the first murky pic of the car. My camera doesn't do great with low-light, so this is the best I can do for now. Maybe more when it's light out.

Welcome. The "discovering all the ways I can store stuff in the back" thing lasts a long time. I've had mine for thereabouts six months now, and I'm still finding new ways to store things in there. It's a nice group here; you'll have fun and you'll learn a lot (or teach a lot).
