Howdy From Las Vegas!

Post by dustie »

Hey every one! Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'll be popping in frequently. I just purchased a 2005 vibe 5 speed. It is a bit out of my regular so expect some newbie questions from me! I feel like I'm driving a go-kart after I drive my lifted dodge 3500 on 40's haha. Any one with suggestions or tips to help customize definitely let me know! Dustie

Welcome!Quote, originally posted by dustie »I feel like I'm driving a go-kart after I drive my lifted dodge 3500 on 40's haha.I've driven mostly smaller cars in my life, and I also felt the Vibe handled this way. I love it. The turning radius, the (to steal a Mini Cooper term) "Whip-tastic Handling." And I've always thought, if Toyota would have just produced 25+ more horsepower in these things, they would have been perfect.
Steelies to the rescue.

Haha thanks for the warm welcome guys! I'll post a few pics when I get a chance.. Its pretty much all stock right now.. just has some rims that look like some ones grandma put on haha. But lowering springs, blacked lights and windows are already in the works by the end of the month along with some stereo equipment.. Any one try two 12 inch subs yet? too much?
