The Weird Cousin (First Post, greetings)

Post by GarboBirb »

Evening folks, name's Garbage Birb. Recently came into possession of my new favorite thing, a 2009 Toyota Matrix. I absolutely adore this car and it's (admittedly) cooler cousin the Vibe, so I figured this would be the best place to take up residence. I do plan on obtaining a vibe as my "fun" project, would love to track down an 03-08 GT.

I do plan on posting upgrades/projects here. Nice to meet ya,

Welcome to GenVibe GB :D Update profile for us so we know your whereabouts! Post pics and more info about this Matrix of yours. Maybe yours is that rare Gold color offered on the 2009 model year only :o

Definitely find one. I did 2.5 years ago and it's still sitting out at my Dad's place waiting for me to find time to work on it.

Not the gold, unfortunately, but a rather mint radiant red. I took the hubcaps off for the picture but they are they (I hate them, however, and plan on painting and restoring the steelies).

That is a nice lookin' red one for sure. Throw some aftermarket wheels on it and it will look great. 8-)
