New Vibe Owner...it's in my driveway as I type

Post by cs1992 »

I went ahead and did it. Bought the Vibe I described in an earlier post and am very happy about the deal. I can't get over how well the car drives, handles and accelerates for having such a small engine. Compared to my truck, I feel like I am driving and Indy car. I bought the Stealth color b/c the wife liked it better than the others.

You'll love it more and more each day, I traded a F150 4x4 for mine and have no regrets. Heck, I went to Home Depot today after work and put a bunch of 2x4x8's for my new workshop in it and didn't even think about it, they just fit. Welcome aboard, Jim

Welcome to this fun and educational board! Congratulations on the new Vibe! I'm a newbie too; just fought to get a good price on my Mom's "Frosty" and just I ordered a "Neptune". One of these cool rides was not enough
