Newbie saying HI

Post by chotton »

This is my first visit to the sight. Looks great and a wealth of knowledge on the Vibe. We are picking up my wifes '06 this Thursday.AWDLava RedGraphite LeatherEverything else except Nav.Should be a great car for her.I was disapointed to learn when were ordering this car that you can't get the GT AWD . Oh well luckily my wife could careless about performance.Now I just have to wait a couple more my Trailblazer SS to come in.

THANKS....This is the first time in years that I have looked forward to snow. I can't wait to drive the vibe in a couple inches of snow I bet it's a blast.I love the blue but the wife wanted red so I lost out.

It is a blast to drive in the snow! It handles great and its fun to accelerate past the FWD or RWD cars while they just sit and spin.
