Pole = 1Vibe = 0Pole deals a crushing blow to Vibe and wins by TKO. Decision goes to Pole.Joatmon, You should change your screen name to GrimReaper, cause you are no longer the master of none. You are the master of bringing us all the death and destruction involving the Vibe...lol.

Wow, that 09 or 10 had a short life span! Good thing it didn't take the driver out too!

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush »Pole = 1Vibe = 0I don't know, the article said "Police closed off a portion of a northbound lane in front of the restaurant for more than an hour until debris from the telephone pole was removed" so it sounds like the Vibe reduced the pole to scattered debris. I'd call this one a draw.

Obviously both the Passive and the Active restraints worked along with the crumple zone and the driver essentially walked away unharmed!I'd modify the score to Vibe = 1Pole = 0It kinda makes you feel safe doesn't it!?!?Dave
