New member in MN

Post by KITT222 »

Hello drivers of the Vibe, Matrix, and even a few Corolla's. After lurking in the shadows for a few days I am ready to become a member here! About me: I am 16 years old, and after a year and a half of research all starting a few months after I got my drivers permit I am proud to say that a silver monotone '04 Vibe base 4A with alloys and a sunroof is my first car! I am a BIG car nerd, and huge fanatic, so my first car is one thing that will always be special to me, and I am happy to say that it is a Vibe. Through the past few weeks that I have had it I have loved the thing! Just a brilliant little car that is actually really capable in our Minnesota snow, which is good considering our last snowfall was several inches. I hope to get some sort of camaraderie from this, if when I see a Vibe it belongs to someone on this board. Plenty of ideas for modifications to my Vibe have come about while I've lurked, including a shark fin antenna maybe and interior alterations. But there is one thing I want to do that I haven't yet seen a topic about: custom car badgings. Like replacing the Pontiac logo with a different logo entirely. If anyone can help me with this (and hopefully cheaply), please feel free to tell me. I look forward to posting here, and altering my car. Thanks!

Thank you all for the welcomes! I don't have any recent pics of the Vibe in the snow, and right now it was stored in the garage last night, so all the snow has melted off, but I have pictures of it the day we brought 'er home!Some more a day laterAnd just so you know, I do the eco-modding thing.And since that picture was taken I've drawn teeth on the lower grill block. No pictures of that. I'll probably put some Christmas lights on the roof rack, like I've seen others on here do. Why not?
