Hi, my name is Joshua and I just bought a 2005 Pontiac vibe last Thursday, so I've only had it about a week . I don't know much at all about cars I'm afraid , I have history of an anxiety disorder and just got my license several weeks ago at the age of 27, so this is my first car. I bought the vehicle as is , no warranty and there are some issues that I will post about because they already have me worried . The car seems to drive fine but I've been walking to work for three years and obviously I don't want to return to that. Haha . My friend pretty much taught me how to drive and she has an 07 vibe so I'm use to driving vibes at least . Oh and because of the grey/silver color I decided to name the car "Storm"
I got my license when I was 23 so don't feel too bad. There are some good folks around here who give pretty good advice. I actually read this forum for about a year or so before signing up.
Welcome to GenVibe Joshua! As I said in your Garage post, your Vibe is the best color (mine's the silver one in my sgnature picture!) and you have a cute dog ! Everyone here is very helpful so don't be afraid to post any questions, comments, concerns, etc. you may have .

Welcome to GenVibe Joshua. So you're a bit late on driving but you're probably in a lot better shape and health due to all the walking you've done. My wife didn't get her license until 25 (some 25 years ago ) and I had my license at a young age BUT owned my first car before then and couldn't drive it yet. We'll get you through any issues that you may have and keep you safe.
By the way there is a FaceBook group as well: GenVibe - Pontiac Vibe Owners & Enthusiasts
At least one member is too familiar with anxiety as well. Because of the helpful community you could not have found a better car as your first one. I am glad you found us.

Here's a couple more pics of the car. I took it for its first carwash since I bought it and the other pic is my vibe and my friends 07 Vibe that I practiced to drive in. We work at the same place
