That's got to be some sort of a distance record for a Vibe transplant! Just out of curiousity, what color is the other Vibe in your city?

Without snow tires it would be difficult.

Добро пожаловать!I hope this says "Welcome", I got the translation on-line.Salsa - good color. Enjoy.

Hello and welcome to the forum.I was wondering, as you don't have a Pontiac dealer in your place, what will you do if something gets wrong on the Vibe? Where will you get the parts you'll need?

The ability of the internet to bring people together - all over the world - is seriously friggen amazing.

Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on the vibe!

Quote, originally posted by Eloi »Hello and welcome to the forum.I was wondering, as you don't have a Pontiac dealer in your place, what will you do if something gets wrong on the Vibe? Where will you get the parts you'll need?In Russia the American cars are now very popular. In Europe cars very expensive because of EURO. Spare parts are accessible in shops, or can be ordered with delivery of 2-3 weeks. Besides the Vibe is the Toyota, isn't it?My boss has Plymouth Breeze '00. My friend - Chrysler Voyager. Our Russian cars obsolete and not the comfortable.For example my previous car - LADA 21122:) No ABS, no air bags, no music, no power steering, no power mirrors:(But i liked it anyway.

Just wondering - not only a different language but a different alphabet, which would make learning English even more difficult.

Welcome to the site

Unfortunately it is custom tuning of BMW 850, and have no russian parts, everything handmade. Prototype of this project was GAZ VOLGA 21http://foto.drom.ru/6990/

Andrey, Welcome, We're all SO HAPPY you took the time to write to us from Russia!! Like you I bought a 2004 Vibe on the internet 2 years ago and it's a great car. I like your photo of the Vibe decorated for a wedding. How many miles does your Vibe have? I have 63,000 miles on mine.Tips: You might want to have the battery tested and check the water pump.Best wishes to you!!

At once i change all fluids, oil(engine and transmission), brake pads. Also changed front speakers(previous owner loved loud music and has torn speaker) to HERTZ ESK 165. On last week i did noise isolation of front doors.Battery seems fine, water pumb too. Soon i will change generator belt.To all! What king of photos of Russia are you interests?There is a little from our corporative forumMy town after rain

Awesome pictures!!!! I hope I can visit Russia sometime in my life. I would love to travel thru Europe and Russia.I've been to Tokyo, and that was amazing.

Welcome to the board. Russia has always fascinated me for reasons I cannot explain. Maybe it was cause it was considered a forbidden place in the 80's and early 90's. Much like Cuba is to us in the US now. Another place that fascinates me. Hope you enjoy your Vibe, that def. is some kind of record. I think an article needs to be sent to the Pontiac Magazine.Any other pictures you have I would love to see them, it's just so interesting to see life from around the world.
