Hi everyone, I just bought an '05 Silver Surfer.... like maybe 3 hours ago!

I found this place when I googled: "camping in Pontiac Vibe", though I'm planning to use it mostly as my daily driver. I'll poke around here abit, maybe ask a question or three, put together a signature, etc.

Thanks everyone! I have temp plates on it right now, getting reg plates at the town hall tonite. I did my first fillup today, 10.6 gals to go 355 miles = 33.5 mpg! That's double what I'm getting in the chevy van.

The Vibe is working out just fine for commuting, though it's a tight fit for my two 27.5 miler cups of coffee in the morning.

I just ordered my first accessory, the Matrix center console lid so I can have a bit more of an armrest. Erie, PA is a good day's ride away, I'll have to check the summer schedule.

Hey welcome to the family
Great color choice!
I took my old suv up to the white mountains before I got the vibe.
I shold take the vibe up there soon. When I bought it, I found out I could fit pretty much the same stuff, climbing/camping gear in the vibe that I had in my old rodeo. Woohoo!
Post pics when you can
