The Details;'06 AWD StealthSun & Sound Package w/Monsoon SubPreferred Package (Keyless, Windows, Locks, Cruise)Sport Package (Badly named, IMHO) = Monotone Paint, 16" Aluminum Wheels, 6-disc CD Changer {In Dash}Carpeted Floor Mats including Cargo AreaOn*StarOf course, the AWD gets ABS, and Tire pressure monitoring system.Only things I gotta fix is the short armrest, and the missing 12v socket in the bottom of the console.Can you tell I'm a bit happy?? Sorry about the no pics right now, it got dark before we made it home.

Sounds like nice car. What prompted you to come back to the dark side? How was the deal?Congrats and I'm glad to see you happy again, I could tell you've been unhappy with your transportation lately.

Cool! No reason not to attend a rally or two next year then, right? Oh, yeah, pics, soon!

Well, I lost 5 months worth of payments, the cost of the bedliner, hood deflector, and bed-extender. I ended up about $1,500 upside down on paper, so....I better like this Vibe...I'm in it for a while.....So far, I'm thrilled, except the crappy ride on the Gooyear RSA's.

$1500 is nothing compared to what a lot of people have though...you did good as far as I'm concerned! I'm sure you'll love it...I that color...it looks awesome on the Vibe, especially in the monotone with the new rocker panels. We better see you at a meet next year too!

Congrats, TNPG! Excellent choice on the color and the AWD.

AWD = IRS, and ABS, 2 must haves in my world. I love the way the AWD car rides and drives!!Now, I must decide on colors to order my Grafx in...I'm thinkingBlack Chrome for the overlaysMetallic Copper for the VCCReflective White for the Gen-Vibe for the rear hatch glass, and metallic silver for the GrafxWerks logos...and yes, I will be getting tint again, but probably not until after Xmas.

Ok, quick update. I'm already over the 500 mile mark, and tonight the insurance card arrived, the GMAC statement arrived, and the Grafxwerks package arrived!! I also filled up, and so far, my fuel mileage in mixed driving has stayed in the 24 mpg range, tonight it was 24.849 mpg, to be exact. I have added my SkyFi 2 on the VSM, and dropped in a K&N filter, I promise, there will be decent pics after I apply the overlays and such......One SOUR note.....my insurance policy....looks like my insurance went UP, not down like I was told it would do.....It's almost $50/month more that the '03 was!!!

OKAY, today's update....installed the Grafxwerks black chrome "Vibe" overlays.... so far...they are ok, they pick up the Stealth color and bascially make the badges disappear.I also got the oil changed.....yes....500 miles, and I changed to the Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic, we'll see how that goes. Also, had the tired filled with nitrogen, and once I get back from TX I should have a better idea of fuel mileage on this car. So far it's hovering around 25 mpg in mixed driving.

Still waiting for some pics... that link you posted earlier never worked, at least for me.

I'll try to get some while I'm in TX this weekend, IF I can find a carwash.
