Retired my 03

Post by bluvibe »

After putting a little over 238k on my Vibe as a daily driver, I have put it out to pasture. My son will be starting college late this summer and I've handed it over to him, with the hope that it will last him through his college career.This Neptune Vibe Base was my first new car (a point that I've made to my son several times) and it has given nothing but dependable service. I'm proud to say that my "new" daily driver is a 05 Frosty Base that I purchased last week with 67k on the odo. I expect the same dependable service out of this one and hope to hand it over to son # 2 when he goes to college in four years!

Good to see cars passing the 200k range with life still in them. You must have kept great care of it.So does this mean in 4 years when you give the 05 frosty away you'll be picking up a 09 Vibe? lol
