GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hey guys. The Vibe Lounge's description said introductions go here so yeah. How's it going everyone
I thrilled to join your ranks. I haven't owned a car in over 4 years (dark times, man) but I was able to scrounge up enough to by something reliable and inexpensive.
So I bought an 05 Vibe

As much as I'd like to doll her up, keeping her running for the longest time possible is priority #1.
What do you guys reckon is the best thing I can do to ensure that my Vibe will break 200,000 miles and beyond?

WELCOME and CONGRATS on choosing an awesome, versatile, fun car. No one understands hard times more than me; I was without car for 6 months, and am so happy for you.

Hi. Welcome

Welcome to the site! The vibe looks to be in great shape! Have fun with it, and as my sig says, enjoy the ride

I like to welcome you as well!

Welcome to GenVibe. You made a wise choice & investment by getting a Vibe Hopefully those "hard times" are a thing of the past and you can enjoy the freedom of the road in your Vibe. You'll easily get 200k+ miles out of this beauty!

Just went to Lowes and got some lumber to build a desk for my sister-in-law.
Put it easily in the back on my car.
And then went to Sam's and filled it with groceries...

Man, do I already love owning a Vibe.

The more I think about the more I realize it's pretty much all the cars/features I like, all rolled into one vehicle.

Welcome to GenVibe That's certainly a great looking 1st gen Vibe you've got there! Thanks for posting pictures of it right away !

just keep up regular maintenance. i'm at over 250k and still going strong!

Welcome & hi from a Vibe driver so new he's at least five days away from picking up his first - an '03 GT on 17"s. Neptune with grey trim. Didn't need the space, nor the constant 21 MPG my '07 Tacoma Prerunner, ahem, achieves.

Welcome to GenVibe! You should start a new thread to properly introduce yourself and your Vibe. Be sure to post some pictures of your "new" Vibe once you pick it up as well !
