I'm hoping to pay it off as well, we shall see.As far as mods, I plan on modifying all the dirt and debris out of the inside . My wife has been driving the Vibe more than I have lately, with children in the back, so there's a sea of little crumbs and half-sucked suckers on the floor and bench. Car's in desperate need of a detail.I do plan on finally installing my brass shifter bushings, debadging the car and perhaps painting some of the interior trim. I'd love an SRI as well, but I don't really see that happening

Probably should wash and wax the 2009 Black Vibe, considering it has not been washed since July (when we bought it)

2011 is my payoff year, so that leaves tint (way overdue), new summer tires and MAYBE a different head unit for 2010! Be fun to see how many check marks we all have come December!

also finish paying it off this year!.. brake fluid flush for extra special new car maintenance. I saw a car show on TV saying its good to do this every two years, seems like a good idea because my car is almost two years old.other more fun but maybe unrealistic things I want.. TRD lowering springsTRD front strut bracesummer tiresextra wheels to put summer tires on. I should really be saving that money for important stuff though.. like buying something worth something I guess. dang maturity.

"maturity" for the win??

It seems there is already enough support for all but the most extreme conditions.

Quote, originally posted by bull77 »me too and maybe a new paint job in the spring..well the Vibe is paid off With the family growing we needed more room for everyone. So we went to the Dodge dealer and bought a 2010 Grand Caravan. The dealer paid off the remaining balance on my Vibe and gave us payments that were less than the Vibe
