hello all - new owner, new to the board

Post by Rob Munro »

I just picked up my base Vibe on Thursday after 4 months of car shopping. I decided it would be the perfect car for what I needed, and so far I couldn't be happier. You can see it here...http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10656 thanks for posting the excellent shots of my Vibe Mojo. Just kidding...but it is identical, Mojo's pics came out great, and Tom deserves his props.Anyway, I'm glad to be here. I'm a member of message board for every hobby I pursue, and the collective knowledge is invaluable (Matrix guys, that means it's good) kidding again.Looking forward to many useful exchanges, and of course, using the search.

thanks for the warm, and QUICK! welcome. I picked up a base model, but got the moon/tunes and power packages. It's outfitted quite well for the price. My friends are all shocked that you can get this much car for so little money these days.The only "mods" I'll make to this vehicle are a snowboard rack, and a set of snow tires mounted on stock steel rims.I own a motorcycle, Jeep CJ7, and waverunner and I'm constantly tinkering with all of them. More speed, custom chrome, lift kits, all that stuff. Aside from running me into the poor house, I just don't have any time left, AND my wife would KILL me if I start modifying this one too. I really just bought it to be a great all around daily driver and serve me well on weekend adventures. So far I couldn't be happier.

Welcome to the encyclopedia of Vibe! Nice looking ride--even if it isn't yours! Nearly all of us who haven't modded our cars have 'identical twins/triplets/quadruplets...' somewhere on the board.

LOL! Welcome from another newbie. Glad you could use the pics. I love all black and abyss was the only color offered where everything matched, including the mirrors.
