Last days with the vibe

Post by AKLGT »

Well the time has come when Mav's 04 Fusion Orange Pontiac Vibe will go to its new owners, his parents. So though we must say good bye to our beloved little car, it will go in good hands and kept in the family as a reminder of all the love and joy that brought us together. *sigh* many great memories are shared with that car so I will be sad to see her finally go Tuesday morning.... back to Canada. so as a tribute to our little Pumpkin, we'll post some pics of her in her last days with us later. until then, the thread that started it all.... the single or not thread (unfortunately I can't seem to find it anywhere).

Quote, originally posted by AKLGT »or since it is YOUR car afterall, you can post those pics yourself.well you said you were looking for some to post so I simply stated where I had some stored.I re-installed the car bra for their trip back. Still has the hole where thumper the rabbit went through the lower grill haha. Still some fur to but I got that all cleaned out. Coolant was a little low so I topped that off and gave them the left over coolant jug and about 1.5 litres of mobil 1 synthetic 5w30 oil for the trip. Everything else checked out ok. I'm kinda sad to see the car go. It will probably hit me more once the car is actually gone as it is still sitting in the garage. Tomorrow morning I say the goodbyes.
