Hello everyoneYesterday my wife and I purchased a 04 Pontiac Vibe.So I figured there was a lot of "insider" info out there and I started looking for a forum.Anyways my name is Javier, Im a Mechanical Engineer in the Aerospace industry, I love cars, I have a 1968 Pontiac Firebird, a 1997 Pontiac Trans Am WS-6, a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS, and a 1991 Jeep XJ 2door 4x4.

Welcome to Genvibe! They are tough little beasts and protect their passengers very well, however like any car they do have some "issues". So tell us more about the car? Miles, Options and etc.

Welcome Captain! I hope to one day find myself in the glorious job of engineering, aerospace or mechanical (or if aerospace is a form of mechanical. I sincerely do not know). Enjoy your stay, and bring those pics! We do love seeing them!
