Hi from a new member

Post by pianomansam »

I didn't want to say newbie, because I don't consider myself one. While this is only my second post here and I've only had my Vibe for a month, I've been on the car discussion group scene for a few years. Previous car was a 1994 Passat that is for sale in Ohio if anyone wants a fun second car to drive. My new car is a Neptune auto 2005 Vibe base with just over 2000 miles on it so far. Pictures still to come. I do about 250 miles a week, and it's been great. Gas milage is about twice as good as my previous car. I've already come up with my first mod, which is almost complete. See here... http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=19697 Ideas still to come...-grab some cross members-new radio HU to plug in IPOD or pocketpc based music player-seat covers-cargo pouches on rear seats-cargo nets-12v outlet in middle console-aux lights on grill (anyone thought about doing this?)
