Another new guy...

The wife finally broke down and let me buy a Vibe last week. I have been kinda lurking around reading but w/o a Vibe in the driveway I thought I would wait to say "HI".Now I have the Vibe so let me formally introduce myself. I am 32 years young, happily married (wife Patti is also 32) with 2 kids (Alex-6 and Ellie-4). I work as a sales coordinator for a large Jan/San distributor. I originally was looking to buy a Focus Wagon or 4 door Civic but I was not very impressed with those cars. Anyways I saw a Vibe drive by work one day and thought "WOW that looks like a perfect car for us". Little did I know that "wagon" would turn out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing. Unfortunatly we were only able to get a '03 Vibe. I would have loved to get a new one but the price/payment was WAY right on the '03 compared to the '05. I accaully liked the look of the '03 better so having to buy used wasnt quite as bad.Anyhoo now I am trying, with some success, to allow the wife to let me add a few "minor"(YEA RIGHT) mods to my little white wagon. I have already order the reflective overlays and am SERIOUS looking to get an Ingen CAI. I guess my only question to any fellow Michigan Vibe owners on the CAI is..Should I worry too much about all this hydrolock stuff I have been reading?? I also have plans for some lowering springs (prolly gunna go with the Pro-Kit from Eibach) and some form of window tinting for the backs. I was also concidering some brighter headlights, driving lights and back up lights but I am not sure where to find them.I guess all that rambling is my offical "HI" to the genvibe growd.
