I'm back!

Post by WooTinn »

I haven't been on in a long time, on the account of my '03 Frosty's second motor giving up on me. But after a year or so, I missed the Vibe so much, I went out and bought another. :DThis time, It's an '03 Neptune 5 speed. Pictures will be available shortly. Keep in mind, the car has been in a collision (the only way I could afford to get one) and should be back on the road in a week or so. During the time I owned my last Vibe, this community was a great information resource, and an all around fun place to kill time. The Vibe community is one of the most friendly communities I have seen. I really look forward to becoming an active member once again, as I put my personal touches on my new ride. :DOne more thing; You know I'm a serious Vibe enthusiast if I just sold my 1988 5.0 Mustang 5 speed that ran low 13's to get into another one!

Thanks guys! I'll have the pictures up here soon. It'(removed) moderately in the front, drivers side. Front bumper and fender, but more importantly, possibly some suspension damage. I'm looking at buying a donor car, 2004 Monochromatic Neptune, no body damage, to make mine monochromatic. And to get the suspensions and body panels I need.The good news is, I have plenty of money from selling my Mustang to get the Vibe completely road worthy, and then get a head start on some mods such as CAI, Exhaust, 17" wheels, and other odds and ends.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone I'm currently awaiting the buyer of my mustang to come through with his money, so I can get the vibe out of it's prison (a U-Auto-Pull-It.. :/).

It has taken much longer than I would have liked. The mustangs buyer fell through and it's now back on craigslist. But I managed to pinch every penny I could and I finally got my vibe to it's new home. :D I have the headlights, bumper, fender, and suspension all off the car, and now I'm waiting on parts :D shouldn't be too much longer now
