THE GENVIBE PICTURE CHALLENGE THREAD

by **Beer Belly** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:46 am

At this point maybe we'll have to take anything.....I didn't think it would be that difficult...surely i'm not the only one who owns a boat? jetski? canoe? kayak? rubber dinghy? windsurf board?

Bodhi_tree if no one else is willing to step up to the challenge, we'll have to make your inner tube idea work. Don't forget you also have to be at a boat launch or a marina would work.

The name may have to change from "Picture Challenge" to "Picture Impossible". lol

by **CAMOGIRL** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:41 pm

(removed), I have a most excellently hilarious idea now.

by **Beer Belly** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 11:12 pm

Should we be scared or excited about this idea...lol

by **CAMOGIRL** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:03 am

Ok, well it's a pathetic excuse for a boat launch, and technically this is a water...craft...lol. If you pay any attention to the interior pics of my car, you'll laugh even harder...lol

by **Beer Belly** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:45 am

Camogirl, how much ZP (Zebra Power) is that watercraft pushing? lol

It's all we've got for now, so if there are no objections I say the next challenge is yours.

I keep looking for a "Like" button.

about .003 LOL.. Yes, I stole the inner tube idea, and this was not my original idea, which was to dig every pool floatie i own out and pile it on top of the car, but I ran out of time, and settled for the zebra lol. Ill be hunting for a challenge, I have something in mind, but I have to mount a deer this evening.

"Mounted deer on top of your vibe challenge"??? lol

LOL no, thats not what I meant, but it came out that way lol.

by **CAMOGIRL** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:04 am

OKAY! I have the challenge:

Your car, on a road that begins or contains the letter Z, with a zebra. Bonus points if you find a REAL zebra for the photo op, or get your friend or a family member to dress up like a zebra, lol.

Also counts: stuffed zebras or other creative zebra ideas, those road signs that people use for their driveways, or if you find a real zebra, and you can photo it from the road with your car, you can MAKE UP a street sign with a Z lol.

by **ligion** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:28 am

LOL

EDIT: ROFL

EDIT2: Very Creative idea

by **Beer Belly** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:38 am

If my challenge was too difficult I will be very surprised if anyone at all will be able to meet this one. lol

by **CAMOGIRL** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:53 am

I dont think it would be too hard... folks in the larger areas should be able to find a street with a Z in it and find a stuffed zebra or a photo of one... I live in a very very rural area and this would be a piece of cake in any county as all of our country roads go alphabetical in one direction and numerical order in the other direction. I paid $2 for my zebra at walmart for your challenge and reused it here, and it will be donated to my bestie's 3 year old daughter tomorrow lol.

by **Beer Belly** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:57 am

Glad to hear it's gonna get some good use! Better be careful with the .003ZP it pushes.

by **Piggy** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:23 am

I'm game for that one,... but I can't do anything about it till Monday...

by **KITT222** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:35 pm

I'll be out looking out for Zs in road signs now...

Hmmm... where am I going to find a Zebra....

OMGROFL! LOVE it! All yours!!!

by **joatmon** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:42 am

I thought about posting up "your vibe in front of a sasquatch waterskiing behind a UFO", but we already get enough of those pictures.

Any car may be used for the sake of keeping the game moving. Vibes and Matrixes are encouraged.

Next challenge:
Post a pic that shows a Vibe and a Matrix of approximately the same color.
At least one of the vehicles in the picture has to be yours (doesn't have to be either the Vibe or the Matrix)
Envy Vibes, and lurid electric banana yellow Matrixes are wild cards, an envy vibe matches any color trix, a yellow trix matches any color vibe
bonus points if you can answer this challenge without it taking a couple of weeks

by **bodhi_tree777** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 7:50 am

phew, that's a good one. I honestly don't see many Matrixes around here, much less a matching one. Thanks for bringing this back up

I'd like to keep it moving, not weeks between challenges, so I'll downgrade it to a Vibe (or Voltz) and a Matrix, any colors. Same color was easy for me since I have a matching pair in the driveway, but not everyone is so lucky.

by **A Psycho Martyr** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:27 am

shoulda checked my email while i was in town

by **Blanco_Diablo** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 6:08 pm

Bad cellphone pic, and opposite colors, but here you go

Parked next to them on my way into work and hoped they would still be there when I left. Score one for the work-a-holics!

Gotta think on a challenge now.

by **joatmon** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 10:00 pm

sweet,

Name thy challenge

by **joatmon** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 9:37 am

tree, it's your thread, you decide how long we wait for the next challenge before you intercede and post one yourself

hmm, I say we give Blanco another day or two..? Maybe BD's got a good one brewing

And I guess for future reference (in the interest of keeping things moving), when answering a challenge you should also immediately post your next challenge (i.e. go take your next challenge photo at the same time).

by **Blanco_Diablo** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 10:55 am

Sorry all, too busy at work this week, just got done driving around taking pics. Posting in 2 minutes

Sit tight!

by **Blanco_Diablo** » Sat Aug 06, 2011 10:58 am

Ok, next challenge... find a piece of Roadside Americana, something with an interesting story to it. Bonus for large statues (and your vibe/trix of course).

I've got dibs on this! Heading out on a road trip shortly to get the picture

The Vibe with the "Gemini Giant" in Wilmington, Illinois.

My challenge: Your Vibe parked by a Drive-In Movie Theater sign and/or screen (pictured is the Rt. 34 Drive-In in Earlville, Illinois where we had a Chicagoland GenVibe meet last fall).

I put 145 miles on the Vibe today just to get these two pictures !

by **Blanco_Diablo** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:07 am

Very cool statue

The nearest drive-in is 6 hours away....

by **SeattleJeremy** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 1:56 am

I'll see about getting a drive in picture, but I can't let the picture I took this morning go to waste ^_^

Yeah, the Gemini Giant''s pretty cool, but I prefer The Hot Dog Holding Muffler Man myself

. Unfortunately he's twice as far from me as the GG, so I went with what was closer (approximately 50 miles one way from Sandwich), but someday I will get a picture of the Vibe with the Hot Dog Holding Muffler Man

!

I was just thinking about this at work today. I can't be the only one who lives near a Drive-In. I knew a Drive-In would be difficult, but I didn't think it'd be impossible

505kms away... That's the closest...

by **A Psycho Martyr** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 9:07 am

my closest one is 1hr away

by **KITT222** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 11:20 am

I am quite a ways away from a drive-in when I'm at home, but I could stop by one if I find some steelies near one. What about a field where a drive-in used to be? One of those is REAL close to me.

by **CAMOGIRL** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 11:27 pm

This site was helpful for me:
http://www.drive-ins.com/

You can search for one close to you, it says whether they are closed or not. According to this one, there are less than a handful in Kansas now left open. The one I used To go to back home is closed, and it made me sad! I looked for the one that was close to me, but it was closed for a long time and it must have been demolished.

Is there anything remaining from the Drive-In, i.e. a sign or something? If not, it's just a field

I have no idea, but I think I'll check when I get home.

by **CAMOGIRL** » Sun Sep 04, 2011 2:22 am

Still none??

by **DeClerq** » Tue Sep 06, 2011 5:39 am

OK, I'll step up:

Been closed for several years, but it still counts.

Hopefully this next one won't be so hard. How about your Vibe next to a stadium, arena, etc... College, minor leagues, pro, whatever:

Scheumann Stadium, Ball State University.
