Welcome!! 20K on an '05? That's some mileage. I have an '03 with 39K. I've had it for almost 3 years (3 years Sept. 12th).

Thank you all.I got the car last July brand new. I think it was one of the first 05 Gt's in the city.I drive a lot, I work about a 50 mile round trip. With gas prices almost 3 bucks for prem. fuel.......That suxs!I really haven't done any mod's to the car yet, other than the 20%tint, and a K/N drop in. I run the car strictly on Mobile 1 oil.One thing I have noticed recently, is the car pings at times. I have started to add oct. boost to it with every fill up, and it has gone away.The car seemed to run MUCH better with about 97 oct fuel(with prem. fuel+oct boost). I am sure with having 11 1/2 to 1 compression, the better the fuel you can get the better it will run.At 20.000 miles the car still seems solid, have had great luck with the Potenza tires. It does have little rattles, and air leeks, but its really no big deal.thank you againScottP.s. the picture has the car brand new in the front, my old car is in the back right, a 1998 Dodge Neon R/T. I did enjoy the Neon, it was just its time.............

Hello again! I haven't posted since my intro in 8-05!Still have the Vibe, at 50,000 miles now. I have been thinking of getting another one, but not a Gt. Would like to find a new loaded base with a 5 speed and leather. I have just started looking around and doing the research. I will be planing on finally doing some posting on here....

I got this a few days ago....a 2008 Matrix XR.Sorry, i had to trade in the GT, it was just starting to have clutch issues.It was hard to find a loaded XR with a 5 speed, I could not find any Vibes in the area that i liked, so i went with the Trix.
