Newly Vibe'n

Post by blademeister »

Hello everybody. I just bought a Vibe this past week. I hadn't really considered one before, but since my 200k+ miles Corolla died on me, I needed another reliable vehicle. I found a 2005 Vibe. I have to say, I am pretty excited about this car. Once I saw it and drove it, I was hooked. After I get some proper music put back into it, then all will be copesetic. I have already been perusing these forums for days now, and I love the attitude around here. Good stuff. Here are some pictures I took today:blade

Welcome to GenVibe! Congrats on the purchase and on having pics on your first post!.On a side note, I'm relocating to the Denver area in 4-8 weeks. Maybe a mini-meet is in the works.

Thanks everybody for the warm reception. I haven't been excited about a car since my '91 240sx. It's got some nicks and dings, used afterall, but I really like the way the Vibe looks. I plan to keep this car for many years to come.Hey raffe, yeah mini meet. We could do some Vibe x 2 car pics. Thought I saw another person on here from the same city as me too.Due to my excitement, I made a video this morning. Check it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuRYSfbcAEI

Welcome to Genvibe! That's a beautiful Vibe. That color-rim combination for some reason appeals to me. Enjoy your time here!
