Long Time Listener, First Time Caller...

I've been reading through the forums here for a long time any time I needed help with my '03. We bought it in 2002 when it first came out and have put over 155,000 miles on it since. I registered to ask a question, and sure enough right after I do I found the answer was already posted. So, as long as I registered, I thought I'd at least say THANK YOU!!!Anyway, here's a pic of the 2003 in progress. She's been beat on and neglected through nearly 10 years of Chicago-area winters and some really rough times for the family, but she pulled through and now I'm getting around to fixing up all the problems that's caused. After the brakes & wheels are done, sometime later today when it warms up, I'll redo the rally-style lettering for the names and put my business on it to make it look like a sponsored rally car...

Thanks, guys! J, I saw something about a Chicago area Vibe get-together that got canceled, let me know if something like that happens, I'd love to take pictures for my website!Mine has a rally car look, and I have no idea where to take it to get it dirty like the one in Star's pic. And preferably sideways while doing so. Any tips?

Thanks guys! joatmon, I'm guessing it was a Maaco $59 paint job, but around where I live taxis can be any color and if I drove a Vibe as a taxi I wouldn't paint it yellow, I'd look for an original lime green one! Slide the passenger seat up and fold it flat and it's got all the room in the world, at least on the curb side. Heck of a lot better than a beater Crown Vic chugging gas like a binge drinker on spring break!
