LostHookah's Absence

Post by Losthookah »

Well just thought I'd come back since it's been a few months. I finally finished my schooling and got a new job that has been pretty time consuming so that is why i have been gone. In the past few months ive learned alot. It has come time for me to part with my Vibe although it will stay in the family. Ill try to get pics and such up of the new ride as soon as I take delivery in the next week or so.

Welcome back! Sorry to hear you got rid of the Vibe, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out to see what the new ride is.

I still have it, awaiting the insurance call. But mom will be taking her off my hands so I will still have access to it. I am upgrading to another hatchback though ;)

Well, glad to hear it's staying in the family. The suspense on what your new vehicle is is killing me :P!

Very nice :cool:! There's one exactly like that, same color and all, at the local Ford dealership. Not too bad looking!

Very sharp! That's about the only compact in America with a decent looking front-end! Please do a review in the "others" section after you get some time in it!

Nice looking ST! Congrats! I looked at one several weeks ago. It would be a fun car to replace the Vibe, but I'm still holding out for a new Mustang. :D
