I have 2 good sized grocery stores here in Willow Springs and I Choose to shop at 1 because this store has the best meats and freshest produce and a lot of the produce is local. On Mondays this store offers FREE delivery here in town. Being as I am at the current time without wheels I've had my order delivered. The delivery driver just happens to be thye store manager. Let me state I am Happy with the service BUT will be even Happier once my new to me Rides show up. One of those Rides is a 2010 Pontiac Vibe with about 90 G on the clock with the 2.4 engine and AWD. The other coming up outa Florida with Josh-YUP That Josh-is a 2012 Honda G L 1800 Trike with a Motor Trike conversion and a Really Nice suite of L E Ds already installed. And Josh sez the previous owner went nuts with the Kuryakan offerings. To say I'm stoked is putting it rather mildly. Bit more than 110 G on the G W. And the trike has indepent reart suspension! MAYBE sometime 2moro for both Rides to git here!  RIDE SAFE. |

that 2010 pontiac vibe only 90K should last you the rest of your life. They been known to go well over 200K miles. I bought my kids 2004 pontiac vibe with 104K miles for 4K about 7 years ago now has over 180K and if last 200K got my 4K moneys worth out of it for sure. not super powerful, but very roomy inside for a small hatchback.

Lookin more for reliabilty stead of speed or style points. And YES when I do travel will NEED the room this Ride offers due to All the med stuff I need to haul with me. Ross has it at his place and he sez it runs out nice and a bit peppeier than he thought it would be. Tires he stated are good and Everything works. Glass in good shape cuz Missouri has vehicle inspections to pass. RIDE SAFE. |

As you've said the Pontiac is basically a Toyota Matrix, which is basically a SUVitized Toyota Corolla... We had the Matrix (And the Corolla, separately) at one point... For some reason my favorite feature was the 110 AC outlet it came with. But it was a very reliable car. Little smaller than what you're used to but should get good fuel mileage... Dennis texted me pics of his new toys rides, so:    |

I don’t knkw anything about the Pontiac, I don’t recall the model name Vibe, it certainly looks straight, clean and in good condition but that trike is beautiful. Best of luck with both, wish you many safe, carefree miles and happy motoring |

Dennis,
No opinion on the Vibe... I've never even ridden in one! I haven't ridden the trike either, but I did get to stand next to it and enviously ponder the implications of such an awesome looking machine! The picture is nice, but that work of art is even more impressive when viewed in-person up-close; so, you should prepare yourself to be WOWed to the extreme when it arrives! Josh and Terry both had only good things to say about its condition and performance, also, so... Who needs a winning LOTTO ticket with good fortune like that!!!

Dennis,
Thanks for the offer! I'm thinking there is a better than even chance I'll just haul-off and take you up on that!!! I've never driven a trike, and that stately lady would surely be a fine one to experiment with! Of course, it would be in conjunction with a visit and a meal of some sort some place... I'm looking forward to that, also! See ya when the temps become more lightweight rider friendly...

Speaking of temps we've reached our "high" of 41 F 2day already.  Ross and the cage are already here and Josh hopin to be here about 1900 hrs. I would NOT wanna ride now much less After the sun goes down!  Course he Is Younger than either one of us!  And Josh and terry have been in Fl. couple days. RIDE SAFE. |

As I'd stated Josh got here last night after waddin up near 650 in the saddle and he had nothing But High Praise for the Wing. After we came back here after breakfast he was showing me More things about this New RIDE! I already KNOW I Will need another tutorial or 6 or 9 to git the switchology sorted out! I've NEVER used cruise control on Any M/C I've ever Ridden. Josh had stated he one handed that trike for quite as few miles. As easy as it steers we've surmised the 6 degree tree was installed on the trike conversion. The front lighting looks like an aircraft comin at ya. L E Ds EVERYWHERE on this scoot! Strtin to figure the WHY of these Winghs being reffered to as Geezer Glides! RIDE SAFE. |
