Just Joined the Vibe Club

Post by Johnny5 »

Just wanted to check in here and say hi. I just bought a 2006 Vibe. I actually traded in a 2003 WRX wagon. I couldn't seem to stay out of boost on the WRX.I'm just checking out the forums here. Seems like a good place so far. It is good to have a group of fellow owners to ask questions and such.My other car is a heavily modified 2000 TransAm WS6. I am now keeping it in the Pontiac family but one has way more torque :lol:- john

I'm a subie guy and a vibe guy... staying out of high rpm boost is a bad thing when your worried about fuel costs... The vibe is a snail though compared to a wrx wagon though. But welcome aboard. I love my Vibe even though my next car is going to be an STi. I'll be keeping the Vibe even so.

I don't have any of the Vibe yet but it is Moonstone without the matching lower panels (I'm cheap and they look really close in that color )Here is a pic of my other pontiac in pre-actionI am definately semi-jaded coming from the Trans Am and WRX. This car just was way more practical for me at this point. Between the fuel and the BS I had with stuff on the WRX this was the better choice rationally. (handling, awd grip, and power aside) Although from the looks of it there are quite a few people on here modding the Vibe. I guess I am completely new to that scene and haven't seen many on the street or track so I may be surprised what can be done.

sweet TA. I mod and autocross my Vibe. Its holds its own against the Subarus. in my class is an RS wagon. He's faster because he has more skills.

Welcome to the site! Your transition from WRX to Vibe is the opposite of what we usually see around here!
