4 Years old and still a beauty !!!

Post by Neptune04 »

Hi everybody !I bought MY Vibe 4 years ago. A 2004 Neptune FWD 130 HP with electric group and 16" mags and since I have added wind deflector, replace the Eagle RS-A by Bridgestone Potenza G009 and also tainted all windows.I still take care of this car like it is a brand new BMW. This car is awsome, practical, looks sporty (for a family car !) and the drive is great. Except some rattles here and there, I have nothing wrong to say about it.Enjoy the pics !

The Bridgestone are great. The cornering is fun and it's like glue on wet surface. The thread is 460 so approx 90 000 Km. If they give me 80 000 I'll be satisfied enough.I don't keep them on winter though. To much snow and ice in Quebec I put some Blizzak WS60 this winter (Brand new). I should be fine !! I just bought 4 used 16" original Vibe Mags to fit those.I could'nt see MY Vibe on winter wheels anymore ! I really like the look of the 16" original mags. So, I'm very happy to get those used.

She's beautiful! Mine used to be pristine too-before the "detail shop" (or rather "deface shop") got their hands on it. I just made 25,000 miles last night.Don't forget to park it in the garage-I think TEAM NEPTUNE is in the lead!

Too bad for your Vibe. It is true that "Neptune" is a great color for theis car ... Must be shiny though At least you don't have to worry about "Rust" down there in Hawaii Here in Quebec I must give my ride one "Oil treatment" per year to prevent rust ... Winter !!!! Minus 35 (celcius) and a lot of snow !It is always a "party" when april is coming !!!

Rust in Hawaii ?!? Geez ! I had no idea serious ! I was sure you guys had one of the best place on earth to keep a shiny car ... After some brainstorming I guess the salt from the sea could be bad afterall ...By the way thank's for your comments !
