Another new Vibe owner!

Post by Fungii »

Hey everybody! I just picked up my new Vibe today and I thought I'd say hi here. I did some reading on this forum before I bought it and everybody seemed pretty happy with their cars, so I felt it would be a good purchase. It's a 2006 base, Abyss black, 5 speed manual, power package and that's about it. I also got the 3m protection for the front end. So far, I'm pretty happy with the car. It did have a small scratch on the hood when I first picked it up, but they buffed it out pretty good, you can't really see it anymore. I just need to get used to shifting a manual again, it's been a long time and I'm a little rusty!

Thanks everybody! I might get a strut bar and CAI eventually, once it's been broken in a bit. I was thinking of doing the air conditioning mod, but it looks like they have some insulation on the tubing already so I'm not sure if any more would help that much? I live in Calgary, so I probably won't get to use air for most of the year anyways.
