updated 03/07/2008. check my last post (at the bottom)check out the pics in the link below...http://s4.photobucket.com/albu...localplatinum monotone17" rimsmoon n tunesleatherpower windows n doorsdisabled seat belt beepmods:k&n typhoon SRIfidanza aluminum flywheelexedy clutchcupholder LEDs my vibe story(taken from my intro posts):i've liked vibes since late winter 2001, when i was in michigan gettin my car serviced at the dealership and noticed a flyer withs this hot yellow car on it. i picked it up n read about it. then i read about it again. and again, til i asked a salesman when it was gonna be released. he said "i don't know" and walked away. so then i started doing my own research online, in magazines, and anywhere i could get my filthy lil hands on some info. then as i was reading an article about a vibe, i saw a lil blurb about somethin called a matrix, and found out that gm and toyota teamed up to build these two cars. for a little while, i was leaning more towards the matrix, and when the first matrix came out in arizona on february 6th 2002, (i had moved to AZ by that time) i went to see it, and on the way to the car, i bombarded the salesman with all kinds of questions: is it the base model, xr, or xrs?? what options are in it?? the salesman didn't know half of what i was asking, just telling me that the only things he knew about it was what the toyota website had up. so i got cocky n told him the only things i know about it were what was on the toyota site, car & driver, sport compact car, and every other magazine that had an article or blurb about the trix or vibe so i left once i found out it wasn't an xrs, looking for a vibe gt. i couldn't get financed for it and with nobody to co-sign, i was basically given a foot in the (removed) and was told to have a nice day.fast forward to the present: february 2006. i was out with my mom and her boyfriend todd when todd and i started talking about the new solstice. my mom asked what it looked like and i said "i'll show ya." we hit the nearest pontiac dealer and as we were talkin to the salesman, i walked over to the used cars, and saw a few vibes sittin there, so i looked at this 05 gt that was sittin there for $16,700 and asked if it was used, and the salesman said no. i asked why it was so damn cheap and he told me that they had purchased too many and that these two had been sittin there, so the price was dropped $8,000.well that was it. i drove it and startin lovin it. i thought about it that night, searched all the auto trader type sites, and found that it was the cheapest new gt in the country so i went and picked it up the next day. i couldn't believe it, a brand new 05 gt with 32 miles on it for $1,500 more than they wanted for an 05 with 30,000 miles. i wasn't sure if that used one was an awd or not, but i knew it wasn't a gt, and this was an excellent deal to me. so here i am, drivin my new baby around n lovin erry minute of itnow that i've got a few pics up, maybe i can be nominated for VOTMinute haha buh-dee buh-dee buh-dee thas all folks

(but not with the vibe though)yeah the first two were taken outside my house, n the others were taken on 74. most of em were at vista point, n a couple were a lil bit down the mountain. it was windy as hell up there that day, if i weighed ten pounds less, i woulda blown away. by the time i was done, my car was covered in dust
