Got my New Vibe!

Post by ZubenElGenubi »

YeeeeeeeeHawwwwww! In Texan, that means "Hot Dang!"Got my new Vibe -- and first ever new car -- last night from Lawrence Marshall Pontiac/GMC in Houston. What started as an unpleasant experience ended up being about as great as could be expected. May be premature (since it's less than 24 hrs), but I highly recommend Dan Murray, their Internet Sales Manager. Very professional.Here are the specs:2004 Vibe Base - AbyssAutomatic4-Wheel AntilockMonotone16" Aluminum WheelsPower PackageSport Package (Ground FX and Spoilers)XM Satellite RadioA lot more than I was originally shopping for, but with $7000 in total discounts, I couldn't pass it up. That knocked 1/3 off the price.I'm already undergoing "mod fever" and can't wait to get started. Think the windows are getting tinted first....Looking forward to being a genuine GenVibe member...-Glenn

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to GenVibe. Very nice looking Vibe! Two things you definitely need...lowering springs and tint.

Aaron, you're reading my mind! Window tint happens next week. Hella supertones and mudflaps (courtesy of fellow genvibe member Kelly, aka VibeNRide) installed shortly after that.I'm still not sure about the springs, but I'm leaning to the Eibach Pro-Kit. It doesn't drop as much as the Sportline, but I don't think I need much with the existing ground fx.BTW, love your Vibe...Triton's a great name, too. -Glenn
