Hi I'm Emanuel and I am new here

Post by MannyL »

Ok from reading it looks like pics of the new cars are wanted well I didn't take any yet On 4/11 my 2003 Aztek was totaled in a car accident (A Matrix/Corolla killed it) . I needed a new car and didn't want an SUV because of the poor gas mileage. I drove a few cars and really liked the way the Vibe handled and even though I'm a big guy I fit comfortably.I have a 09 GT which is Grey/Blue/Purple depending on how the light hits it. Sunroof7 Speakers XM/CD (not 6 changer)5 Speed Automatic with Driver ControlCargo CoverFactory Alarm.I've had it for two weeks now and I love the gas mileage and the performance. I've bookmarked this site and I will keep coming back

I was just thinking what Wave said lolz!! It was kismet!! AND you know that the Vibe/Matrix can kill a car bigger than it, so you're driving a very good car Welcome to the forums, you're just in time to grab a new limited edition GenVibe hoody (because you know you're going to kick yourself if you miss out and become the vibe fanatic we know you'll become!!) and you should come hang with us in July at the Epic Meet in Tennessee!!!Oh and PICS!!!

Nice Pics of the New Vibe!OUCH! I hope you were not injured in the accident!?Both the Aztek and the Matrix look pretty bad.I wonder if the person in the Matrix was ever on MatrixOwners.com!?I have a Fusion Aztek Rally Edition.

The passenger in the back behind the driver hurt her foot. My friend was driving at the time. I don't think she was a member of MatrixOwners.com.

I love it so far. The sunroof makes driving enjoyable and I love the gas mileage I'm getting.I'm getting over 28 mpg which is better than before. The only thing I wish it had was a remote start.
