Welcome! Hope you enjoy the car.I always chuckle when I read "upstate New York". It took years before I realized that "upstate" meant anything NORTH of the NYC metropolitan area!! You aren't upstate, you are in Southern Central NY! Upstate to me would be Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, etc.I know, I think funny! I could make a silly New Yorker joke at the expense of New Yourkers, being here in NJ and with the "love" between the two of us!! Dave

Hi there, nice to see another Vibe owner on here from NY. I'm from the real 'upstate' in Plattsburg, about 45 mins. south of the border. Most of us from up this way consider anything north of Albany to be upstate. JR

Kind of how Michiganders consider anything North of Grand Rapids/Lansing/Flint to be "Up North."
