New to the board!

Post by Salsa One »

Just bought a 2006 Salsa Vibe as my daily driver. My Pontiac Trans Am was killing me on gas. Wanted to get a personalized tag that said "BRATER" but my wife said NO. Women....

That's probably the sweetest liscense plate I've seen yet! I might have to steal that idea when I get mine renewed this week Welcome to the boards. Nice to see a T/A with some real work done on it. All the firebirds I see around my house are driven by 19 year olds with tint and rims and no mufflers.

It's too bad that you needed to get rid of the T/A, I bet you will miss that 450hp, but not at the pump. The Vibe is a great car and you got a very nice looking one.I sure wish I still had my '71 Z28.
