Merry Christmas to Mee......[overdue]


Introducting: "Vibeage"

My "Christmas present" this year was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT. I am excited to have a silver car again, along with many fun bells and whistles I didn't have before (so in love with the XM trial subscription! yipes)

My other car, a 2000 Saturn SL2 is still running pretty darn well, considering it's age and mileage, however, we just felt that it was a good time to get a deal. Now, the El Saturno is our 'round town car. She had a glorious tune up and some new tires....now she is clean and car-seat free (and I suspect, lovin it). The Envoy spends many a day resting in the garage, waiting for it's many hauls around the state come summer time.

We sampled several cars before settling on this one. My heart wanted a Saturn Astra - and it's glorious sunroof - however, when it came to creature comforts, the Vibe won hands down. In fact, it's (Astra's)lack of cup holders was the nail in the coffin. If anything can make a road trip sour for Brian and I, it's accessibility to cup holders. This is no longer a fear. All family members, Blue included, can have at least 2 beverages at a time!

So, if you see a zippy silver streak pass you....it may be the Vibeage and I, out for a spin!

This is long overdue - however, the weather finally warmed up enough for me to head to the car wash!
