Hello from a New Vibe Owner

Post by webgurl »

Greetings all, I joined your ranks today after picking up my new 05 Base Auto Vibe, Moontunes & Power package Abyss with 16" Aluminum wheels. I was thrilled to see a board devoted to my new purchase. I traded in (sniff, sniff) my 01 SportTrac, which also had a great board of devoted fans. I like many nowadays are suffering from the cost of gas, being a soccer mom and working a good distance from home, I rack up not only a lot of mileage - but gas bills as well. I am excited about the Vibe, it's look, and surprized at it's get up and go! My daughter already thinks I am dangerous because it is so nimble in comparsion to my SportTrac I am just flying around - have to agree, it handles beautifully.I wanted to drop a note and say Hello to you all!Cheers,t
Cheers,t
