Newb Here

Post by HellBlazer »

Hey everyone, we just picked up our 09 Vibe GT on Wednesday. I've never owned a four cylinder car, but i figured now would be better time than any. So far we've put 300 miles on it and are loving it. Its weird having a vehicle that only takes $45 worth of gas and go for more than 3 days with that amount. Our other vehicles are an 04 GMC Sierra 2500 Duramax, 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins, 2006 Trailblazer SS, and my project 1999 TransAm (which is in a sad place right now). Anyways, I've got some lowering springs on order- gonna drop it 1.5". Cant find much for performance being an '09. I will probably end up fabbing my own exhaust and intake. Also have plans for a turbo later on down the road if the wife lets me..

Yea, the dealership took 3 days to get it delivered from another dealer 100 miles away, so for making us wait, I told them to tint the windows for us, and they happily obliged. 20% on the backs, 35% on the front. I may change the fronts to 20% later..

Wow, nice stacks! We're used to 4-bangers, and it's hard to find a good one. We're torn between the Vibe and Corolla, and a test drive coming up soon is all it'll take to make the final decision! Glad to see another '09 Vibe owner!
