Showed some love to a 2009 (I peeked at the interior. It was a 5-speed auto and had the black shifter bezel, hence how I know it was a 2009
!) Red Hot Metallic 2.4L Base Vibe earlier today at Walmart in DeKalb, IL...
A couple stories from this past week too...
First, my mom was at Rural King one day this past week and a lady in a big SUV parked next to her. As my mom was going to get out of her Vibe, the lady came up and started talking to her, asking her how she liked the Vibe, etc. Apparently the lady was wanting to downsize from her huge SUV and was considering a Buick Encore. She said the Vibe seemed about the same size, so she started asking my mom all kinds of questions about it. My mom said they talked for around 10 minutes and my mom even opened up the hatch and showed her all the room in the cargo area, etc. My mom made some comment about the Vibe being 5+ years old and the lady said how nice it looked (it just so happened to acutally be clean for once
).
Second, I was driving to work yesterday morning. I was sitting at the stop sign at the end of my street waiting for a couple cars to go by. There was a little girl and boy, both about 6-8 years old, walking down the sidewalk on their way to school. As I turned, I just happened to look over and the little boy looked at the Vibe for a split second and than gave me a thumbs up! This totally made my day
!
Third, this afternoon my parents and I were in my mom's Vibe getting gas. My uncle ended up being at the same pump. He came out from paying and came over to talk to us. He asked if the car was new and my mom told him no, that it's 5+ years old. He couldn't believe how nice it looked for a 5+ year old car.
