New Platinum Vibe!

Post by lloydp21 »

Just got it Saturday. What a very nice little car! Plenty of room for my golf clubs and cart and it is certainly peppy enough around town. I was surprised that it drives down the interstate @80 as nice as it does.Only issue is that the a/c seems a bit weak. I'll have that checked on first service.And you can add me to the old farts that own one (I'm 61)Lloyd2005 Vibe FWD in PlatinumMoon 'n TunesPower PackageAutomatic

Thanks.Well I think I'm younger 'cause I'm not ready to be old yet! Does the fact that my last (as of 2 months ago) GF was 35 make me younger or just worn out?And this does seem to be a pretty fun group, with lots of good info.

Thanks for the link, and I've read some other posts talking about the AC.Frankly it works OK, but it just doesn't seem quite as cold as my S10 Extreme's was.

Welcome to this great board. I'm 63, and have you beat. Or maybe you have me beat like the 20-somethings think they have me beat. This is a very informative board, as you'll see. As for your a/c not being cold enough, there is a free and easy fix for that here somewhere.A perky, young lady from my dealership called today saying that I won four free oil changes and two free tire rotations. Not bad, considering I don't know how I won them. Maybe it's for us old(er) folks, huh? Perks!
