I got out to go inside and just happened to look over and see the Vibe peeking at me. I figured rather than move mine to take the picture, I would take it like I did. I was surprised at how well it turned out.

something about the composition of that pic is awesome. I think it's the combo of the more modern with your car and the brick buildings and that old (new?) McDonald's building there, and layered in it are the Royce and that white building behind it which speak elegance... nice pic!

It was pure luck to get a shot like that.

Ran a few errands this morning and there was a lot of Vibe love going on! I happened to look in the mirror and see the local two-tone Envy behind us.

In this picture you will notice the two-tone Lava on the right hand side and on the left hand side you will notice my mom's GT with a two-tone Satellite next to it (also pictured below). They parked next to us!

So my wife and I went out to dinner tonight and I parked next to an '09 or '10 base Vibe. Kept thinking through dinner..if it's still there, I'm going to leave them a note about joining up here. Well, it was still there when we came out. As I'm writing the note, I look two spots over and there's another Vibe! Before I can get out, a couple gets in it and drives off...oh well. So I finished the note and left it under the driver's side wiper. Hopefully they respond to it JR

The GT belongs to a coworker. I finally ended up parked next to him. There are at least three Matrices here where I work too.

Vibes seem to be pretty thin on the ground here in Germany (I've only seen one other, one time), but today I saw THREE! Got pics of two of them - saw a Carbon Gray '09 or '10 base drive by while I was taking the second pic.The owner of the 2004 Salsa came up while I was there, so we chatted (she was a German, married to an American soldier). She said she LOVED her Vibe, and was so sorry they weren't produced anymore. Her car was immaculate - it looked better than mine! She says her husband maintains all their cars in that shape.Maybe we will see her on here sometime, with lots of pics posted (I told her about GenVibe).

I was actually waiting in the Vibe for my mom while she was in Office Depot (right next to Party City). I was parked in a different spot, but when I noticed the 1st gen Satellite... I of course had to move !

We go to the one in the picture (Aurora, Illinois) every other week. Their prices are great and they have so many things you can't find anywhere else. I remember the first time my mom and I went there, it took us about three hours to get through the whole store. Now that we know where everything is, we can get in and out in about an hour .We're going there tomorrow actually !

That's pretty much how my first visit went, as well. My sister and I went at about midnight and spent an hour and a half cruising the aisles. We eventually got too tired and had to skip a few lanes. The selection is remarkable (particularly the ice cream section, which is a danger zone for me).One of the coolest things that I saw there was a box of that Quaker instant oatmeal with the dinosaur eggs. I'm not sure if it's the same stuff I had as a kid but the packaging was like a flashback to the '90s.I may have to take a road trip up to Madison one of these weekends. It is a great city. We stayed in Middleton, just a few miles away from the UW Hospitals, and it seemed exactly like the type of area that I'd want to live in down the road.

The ice cream selection is downright ridiculous .I totally remember that oatmeal! I'll have to see if they have it tomorrow !

I have went thru every page of this topic and thought it would be pretty cool if I could do this around here and within say 15 minutes time, this is what I got accomplished in my little town of 1500 and I missed 1 in the school parking lot and 1 that was downtown with no available spots for me to get next to it, and I drove around the block a few times trying. and I know of atleast 5 more that are in town. I think still to this day 1 in every 100 people in town own a Vibe. I have only ever seen 1 other Matrix in town

I finally got around to uploading the two pictures that I'd taken on my phone. My brother has another on his phone that I still have to get from him. We were driving back from my sister's house early one morning and I got behind another Neptune Vibe. I tried to catch up to him and, seemingly out of nowhere, another Neptune came to join the pack. It didn't look like anyone else really cared but it was pretty cool to be apart of a gang of Neptune Vibes rolling down the road on a frosty morning.

It's not a Vibe, and PUHLEEEAZE don't hate on me, but I see this thing every day when I go to work and school, and since it's so similar, yet thankfully so different, I've wanted to take a photo of the "cousins" for a while. I got a chance to park next to it today:

They're actual not so different looking. On a side note, what was Pontiac's problem with cladding? I mean, did they think it looked classy?
