New to Vibe, definitely not to GM

GM Enthusiast · Post by **GM Enthusiast** » Mon Aug 01, 2005 3:02 am

First off, quite possibly some of you may know me, I run the GM Enthusiast Network, which includes j-body.org, ecotecpower.com and now gmdelta.com. I've been in the GM community for 8 years now, and it all started out with my 97 Cavalier.This weekend I had it with the Cav, the power steering going out was the straw that broke the camel's back. I had been eyeballing several cars in recent weeks, but the frontrunners were the Cobalt and Vibe. After visiting several Chevy dealers, and getting thoroughly annoyed with the salespeople, I stopped at a Pontiac dealer, and was pleasantly surprised with the people there. They were fun to deal with, and there was no BS between us, everything was upfront. Only 2 hours later, and not so much as a test drive, I walked out with the keys to an 05 base (with power package and monotone appearance only). It wasn't really a whim, I have driven the Vibe before, and I really love the way it looks. Being a GM guy, I was very much informed about what I was getting into.So now it starts - sure its supposed to be the wife's car mostly, but its just such a fun little car, how can I say no to modifications? And once the Cav is gone (I'm ditching that thing ASAP) we'll be an all Pontiac family with a Sunfire and now the Vibe.

I'm sure I'll be making my way over there from time to time, however.

Congrats on the Vibe and welcome. I hope the wife likes the Sunfire!

Although we're on opposite ends of the valley, it's great to "see" someone local. For me to drive to Peoria, I'd need to pack a lunch...
