New Owner - '05 Vibe

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"

Hi, welcome.
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. 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.

Thestorm: Welcome!
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
