New Member: 2009 Vibe GT

[J TO ENVY]

Hey everyone! My name is Carrie. I'm 25 (almost 26) and I'm from Sandwich, Illinois (bring on the sandwich jokes !). I was referred to this website by Kleindl earlier today and joined immediately! Actually, I have also already ordered two stickers to represent the site!

My parents and I have been Pontiac lovers for a long time now ! I have actually never driven any other make of car. My first car was a 1994 Sunbird LE Sedan, my second car was a 2002 Sunfire GT Coupe, my third car was a 2002 Sunfire SE Sedan and my fourth (current) car is a 2009 Vibe GT. My parents had a 1989 Sunbird LE Sedan. My mom had a 1998 Sunfire SE Sedan and now has a 2009 Vibe GT.

We are so sad that Pontiac is no more. My mom and I just noticed yesterday that our local (former) Pontiac dealer took the giant arrowhead off the front of the building. It was a huge dose of reality that our beloved Pontiac is no more .

Listed below are my Car Domain pages:

I am an active, loyal member of The J-Body Organization, Generation Vibe and Wisconsin GM-Tuners. I have already posted the link for FP on all three in an effort to try and recruit more members with different models. I look forward to being an active, loyal member of this site as well.

Thanks for reading!

Only a couple more small things as you can see and I'll be done with it. No one makes much for it, but that's fine by me because I wasted way too much money on my Sunfires with nothing to show for it.

I am pretty active on GenVibe. I read everything on there before I got my Vibe. It's what made my mind up to get the Vibe so I am definitely grateful for that because I <3 my Vibe.

Thanks!

Hum... I do seem to recall an impromptu road trip to Rockford last summer !!!

]Awesome! Another Vibe! Looks good for now, any plans down teh line?

Thanks! Only a couple things: black painted calipers (coming soon before the 18s go back on), an Optima Red Top whenever the factory battery dies and possibly a TRD red powder coated strut bar. I am pretty much done with it and I am happy with it the way it is.

Very nice Vibe!

Welcome!

Thanks!

Pretty much done? lulz nobody's ever done with their car until it's no longer in their possesion. Almost three years of ownership on my GA, and I'm still modding it.

Nope, I can honestly say I am done with it. Before the 18s go back on for the warm weather the calipers will be painted black and that will be it until the factory battery dies and I replace it with a Red Top. No one makes anything for the '09-'10 Vibes and I wasted way too much money on my Sunfires with nothing to show for it. I am enjoying having a "normal" reliable car to drive way too much to even consider doing anything else to it. It's perfect the way it is.

Welcome!

Thanks!
