New here!

Post by MrHatchWagon »

Hey all,I'd been looking at the boards here for a while, and I think it's a great resource for all things Vibe information, as well as guides for whatever modifications I had in mind. Anyway, I finally decided to register and start posting so here I am! A little backstory, I'm Canadian and after driving an old '97 Saturn S-series with a slushbox for a while, my dad gave me his Vibe (two-tone, 5-speed, pics coming shortly), and I've been a Vibe owner for almost two years now! I treat her well, she treats me well, you know how it goes. She's pretty stock right now, my modifications add up to a set of rims, but I've got plans for the future, starting with a new head unit and speakers to follow. In short, it's nice to meet you all and I look forward to posting here regularly.Chris

Welcome, Chris!The manual transmission definitely makes the Vibe more exciting. Have fun upgrading your car stereo; it makes a heck of a difference going from stock!

I think I'm gonna like it here. And you can expect me to post regularly, and have tons of pictures when I attempt (and hopefully complete) mods. The guides will definitely be a big help with that
