Howdy

Post by Flak happy »

Hi all. I just bought a 2005 base vibe. Its silver with the monotone package, sunroof and subwoofer. Had about 39500 miles on it. It is the 1st car that i have bought all by myself so im stoked.... (ok aside for a little incident with a mazda 3 which i had for a week then the dealer said i needed 3 grand more for the loan the quoted me. ) I had a 1996 camaro rs before the vibe. However its plastic peices inside are falling off and the rear end is making not so nice sounds... radiator has a mysterious loss of fluid.... radio is possesed... but a good car that has lasted 127900 miles.So again Hi and pictures as soon as school is not crushing me down lol

hmm I dont know. It is kinda like looking at a blank canvas. though since I am a student money is a limiting factor but that aside. Maybe deleting the roof rails and putting on a lip spoiler. I dont know if any performance upgrades can be done to a base automatic.. but maybe when I can afford any loss to mpg.

don't get me wrong i love it... if i had the time and money to fix it i would. The thing is sexy especially with the RS skirt. LoL i just can amaze my friends and having them sit in the drivers seat or drive it abit. all usually ask me how in the hell do a park the thing. Carefully is the answer especially with the skirt it hits everything.
