Just bought my second Vibe!

I had originally purchased a black 2009 vibe AWD that I loved. Bought that car in April 2009. In December 2010, I was in an accident (not my fault) so bad that my car was totaled. I have been driving the family beater ever since and this thing is a money pit. I started a new job a month ago at a used truck dealership (they do have some cars too) and I was keeping an eye on the inventory. I work in the detail department and one day I saw this 2010 Vibe GT roll in. It's been a while since I saw a 2nd gen Vibe, and I kept a close eye on it. The vehicle I originally had in mind was too expensive, so I test drove this one. I had no idea how much I missed this car! Memories came flooding back and I knew I had to have it. As an employee, I get a discount off the price, and since this car was such a good deal, I talked to the sales and financial people about it. Well, on Oct. 7, I took it home!!! I know from experience that when something this good comes along, you better grab it before someone else does.I will post pics soon.

Congratulations on the "new" Vibe! According to your signature, I see you went with the best color ! Do you have any mods planned for it?

I read somewhere in here about a dude who put a k&n typhoon CAI on his vibe, but I can't find that thread. I've gotten mixed replies with CAI's, so I don't know if and when I will install that. If someone will prove to me with reliable evidence that CAI's do what they claim to do, then I will consider it.

I highly recommend it. It gives the engine a nice growl when accelerating and once you get over stepping on the gas to hear the new more aggressive sound of your Vibe, it will increase your gas mileage by a mile or two as well.
