I got a new car!!! :D

[ramanth]

Here's a stock photo of the color I picked out:

2006 Pontiac Vibe

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/ramanth/car%20damage/vibe.jpg

She has the preferred package which includes Remote Keyless Entry, Power door locks, Power windows, cruise control.

She also has the Sun and Sound Package which includes Power sunroof, 7-speaker monsoon audio system, and an intergrated subwoofer.

AND she has the sport package which includes a 6 CD changer! Woo!

Sawyer's Pontiac is processing the paper work right now. I don't yet have the check from the insurance company, but dad said he'd put it on his credit card (and get GM points in the process). If he gets them his info today, I can pick the car up after work.

But if he waits until tomorrow, then I'll get the car then.

*happy dance*

Dad said it was sad seeing them tow away my baby this morning. As much as I'm excited and am looking forward to this new car, I'm going to miss that Grand Am.

Congratulations!! :D It seems to be such a beautiful car! And I love the color you chose, that blue looks perfect on it!

[LoudLou]

Ok, Tell the truth Kim. You got the BLUE to match Kia's eyes, huh.;)

[My Peanuts]

Very awesome car! I love blue cars.

[Husky_mom]

[Corinna]

Now thats a dog ride Kia is going to love rocking out in that rig.

[Lady's Human]

Nice car, Ramanth!

Good replacement for the Grand Am. I had a Grand Am, I had a love/hate relationship with the car.

[christa]

I'm confused . . . are you referring to the car as a "she"???

BTW, congrats! I considered the Vibe when I bought my Grand Prix. They're nice! :)

[k9krazee]

"She's" awesome!!!! ;) :D Congrats!

[Vette]

Oooh what a beaut!!
glad you found your new love. LOL

[Karen]

She's a beauty! ;) Yup, some of us weird folks assign genders to our cars. Turtle (my green CRV) is a boy.

[Laura's Babies]

Is this Vibe thing a SUV, station wagon or what? Don't think I have seen one on the road...

[lizbud]

Wow, nice car. :cool: I love the color too. :)

[Ginger's Mom]

Congratulations! :D I hope you and Kia have many many wonderful adventures in her. :)

[RedHedd]

OOH! Pretty! I want a ride! :D

[BC_MoM]

LOLOLOL . . . okay, I was just wondering. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Never heard that before. :)

[jazzcat]

Very nice! Congrats on your new ride.

Is this Vibe thing a SUV, station wagon or what? Don't think I have seen one on the road...
I think it's just one of the new style of cars they have out these days. My first reaction was to say it was one of those "cross-over" vehicles - you know, an SUV on a car chassis, what I call a station wagon on steroids - but I don't think this is 4 wheel drive. As a matter of fact, I think this is one of the cars that is being sold as really easy on gas, right Kimmy?

Either way, no matter what it is, it's certainly sporty looking and Kia should fit nicely in the back. :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

WOW! :D

*NICE* Ride, Kimmy!!

You and Kia should enjoy tooling around town in "Her"!!

;)

[gini]

Kimmy, beautiful choice - great color.

What are you going to name "her".............

My car is a boy - Scotty is his name.

Have FUN with this car!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Congratulations on the new car!! It looks GOOD!!! :D

[ramanth]

Thanks! :D I've never named my cars, but have always referred to them as "she's".

The Vibe is classified as a Hatchback. Bigger than a car but smaller than an SUV or Stationwagon. It gets 30/33 mpg. :D

I'm downloading photos of Kia inspecting the car. :)

[jackie]

WOW! Very nice! :D

[beeniesmom]

Wow Awesome!
