Random acts of Vibe love

Post by vibenvy »

So, my mom and I went to our local PetSmart this morning to get some dog food. As we got in line to pay, I look out and see an '09 white base model Vibe parked right next to my mom's '09 Steel Blue Metallic GT. My mom and I both laughed at the thought of someone else parking next to the same vehicle as we do it all the time. I immediately took a picture.Post up your pictures of random acts of Vibe love.

The point of the picture is the two Vibes parked next to each other, not the Asstek in background. The Asstek was one of the biggest mistakes Pontiac ever made. Those things are hideous, especially with all that cheap black plastic they have on them .

Easy dude, just being light hearted and pointing out the Aztec in your photo making it a family portrait.......which apparently you have zero love for. Don't blow a cork over it.Yes, I noticed the two 09/10 Vibes by the way. I got the point of the photo. I parked next to a white one with my red one last night, passed on the photo op though.Truth being told, the Aztek WILL be a collectible car in 20 - 30 years, the same vintage Vibes will be in the junk yards. They have a strong niche market of passion today that will continue. If you were smart, you'd get a couple and store them until you are 50 or so, pay for your kids college education in 2039.

Second, you're right, I have zero love for the Asstek because they're hideous. My $.02.I could care less if the Asstek will be a collectable in 20-30 years, it's still hideous IMO.Thanks for the financial advice . I am going to go out right now and buy a couple Assteks so I can retire in 2039!

I agree, the Azteks are a hideos mishapen conveyance.Perhaps they will become collector items.My bet on hideous cars that will be in demand in the future is the 1st generation Hyundai Tiberon:So ugly they are cute.

Parked my mom's GT next to an AWD today @ WalMart:We have seen an identical twin to my mom's GT around a few times in the past couple months. We are dying to get a picture of the two of them together. Hopefully someday *crosses fingers*. Also, on a side note, on the way to my Aunt's house today (approximately a 30 mile trip one way) we saw approximately ten Vibes, starting with the above one, on the way there and saw a couple more on the way home. Except for the AWD above, they were all '03-'08. Everyone is definitely feeling the Vibe around here ! Vibe FTW!

I don't have a pic but I wave at everyone who drives a Vibe. Sadly, probably only 10% wave back, but I will keep sharing the love! If I wave at you, please wave back!

If I wave at you, please wave back! Where in Illinois do you live? If you don't want to post it here, feel free to PM me. I'm just curious since I'm in Illinois as well. Sandwich here, about 60 miles west of Chicago. My mom and I both throw up the V (peace sign) at every Vibe we see on the road, sadly no one has returned the favor yet or even waved for that matter . Someday!I have only talked to one other Vibe owner. It was a few weeks ago at Target. My mom and I were in my GT. Across the parking lot I spied a Mystic Blue Metallic Base Model. I pulled across the parking lot and parked right next to it. My mom and I were admiring it when a younger girl came walking up to it. I jumped out quick and said, "Hey, nice car!" She laughed and said, "I was about to say the same thing!" I told her that color was beautfiul and how whenever I see another Vibe I parked next to it. She was very friendly and didn't seem to think I was crazy or anything . We said our goodbyes and sadly I forgot to grab a picture . Oh well, maybe I'll see her around again.I saw a black '09 GT the other day! I typically only see new Base Models around here, so it was cool to see another GT!Yes... I am very easily amused !

Our book keeper at my office has an 03 Abyss AWD. Not only do I like her car, but its arrival a couple of times a month in the parking lot means something to do with my paycheque is being done These side-by-sides are good for showing the difference b/t stock ride height, and what you get with the Tein S techs (both cars on 16" rims at the moment)

The guy who has the spot next to me in my parking garage has an assteck.Ever since they first came out, I agreed with most people they are fugly, but I've thought all along that when they are black and clean, they aren't entirely ugly..at night. (As I cover my head and duck from the mob of haters )
