Quote, originally posted by DominoÃ¢Â€Â™s Chris Â»silverhawk, did you want a switch to the DRL cut or did you just want to snip the wire?Lets do a switch, if you need me to pick up a couple of rocker switches let me know...I have a socket set and screwdriver bit sets as well i can bring, I can also grab a couple of pairs of pliers as well before i leave that saturday.

maybe it would be easier if you guys got what you wanted as far as switches; then you wouldnt have to deal with my horrid taste, haha...otherwise, is there an autozone/discount around or a radio shack?

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 4:46 am

there's an Autozone and Radio Shack down the road for where V, Anna, & I are staying.Autozone510 S Ponce De Leon Blvd, St Augustine, FLRadio Shack1860 N Ponce De Leon Blvd, St Augustine, FLI'll run by Autozone this weekend and see if I can find a nice switch

I turned in my time away from work request tonight, I'll talk to a manager about it tomorrow and see whats up.If I do come, i'll give the guy that needs pliers a brand new pair of duralast needle nose pliers... still in package. blue rubber grips, very nice. woot. haha.For LEDs, you buy those online right? I havent bought any in forever, but I remember you couldnt ever get any decent LEDs local. I'll know by wednesday for sure, so if I come Imma have to opt for teh DRL with switch, red cup holder LEDs w/o switch, and umm, as far as now thats it. I just installed all the wiring for an amp tonight, all is good except for a spot where I got lazy. haha. If I come I'll show you all. But when you hear the 15" CVR pounding away, it won't matter much.Everyone wish me luck on getting off saturday.

i get the ones i used and will use at radioshack; they have a built in resistor and a little housing with a mounting nut on them already attached....they're not blindingly bright, but they're definitely noticeablei do know that people have had problems finding them at radioshack too, so it might not be at your local onedid you just want a little plain toggle switch for your DRL then?

Time is getting close for our North Florida Vibe/Matrix Meet in St.Augustine. Only 1 week to go! I thought I'd post a probable Agenda of activities. If you happen to be late, this might help you locate us.Initial Meet location is the Belz Factory Outlet mall parking lot just east of the I-95/FL-16 exit #318. See the first post in this thread for an aerial view.SAT, FEB. 17, Times are approximate12noon Some will arrive early; there are lots of eateries in the area for those that need to grab lunch before we start.1:00pm Meet begins, Sign-In and get your packet1-2:00pm Labelling cars and introducing everyone2-4:00pm Modding demos, Voting on cars, any other stuff4:30pm (about) Road Rally on nearby roads, map provided5:00-5:30pm Arrive at Ruby Tuesdays for dinner; Awards presentation7-8:00pm After dinner some may want to engage in other socializing, but the event is officially over.Naturally this proposed agenda can be modified if needed. At this time weather reports indicate partly cloudy with low to mid 60s. Let's hope we get a good day for what promises to be a great meet.

Cool Viva!I posted this on MO just so everyone over there would have an idea, too.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:47 am

5 days! (well 4 for me b/c I should be in Florida Friday )I'm getting excited... My car should be out of the shop tomorrow, tires are on the way, the only thing left is an oil change Oh yeah Chris, BTW I picked up a switch. I'll try to figure out where I want it when I get my car back.

JesseWHHS · Post by **JesseWHHS** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 2:03 am

just got my front end aligned and an oil change. I should be good to go. I should find out today if they granted my request or not. I put "Going out of town for the day". I guess they should allow that right? HmmI am getting my amp today, and should get my new 15" kicker tomorrow. I'll be ready. I wont be COMPLETY boring I guess. haha. Got the tint, neons, and sub. haha.Anyone have a X-360 and wanna buy a few games for cheap? haha. got PGR3 and GRAW I will bring along just in case.

VibeTronic · Post by **VibeTronic** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:29 am

VibeTronic · Post by **VibeTronic** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:39 am

Yeah i took a look at it today an was shocked cause the alternator was black...lol and you could just see the dirt on the top of the motor and tranny so a good hose off will do it fine an keep the motor running a tad bit cooler (cause it wont insulated by the oil or dirt)...an with the mileage my car has on it right now (mostly city miles there is dirt everywhere) tha would be terrible to open the hood an see that...lol

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:59 am

haha well my mother-in-law lives on a dirt road so my Vibe is well overdue for some TLC but hopefully the body shop will have her looking nice and spiffy

VibeTronic · Post by **VibeTronic** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:22 am

Great To hear..I Hope Your Trip Goes Well .....

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 11:18 pm

4 daysI don't guess anyone else is coming from my direction, huh?I think everyone is traveling North or South...

silvrhawk7 · Post by **silvrhawk7** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 2:26 am

Got the Nighthawk Headlamps installed, and did cool blue for the fog lamps, I still need to get the oil change done probably thursday afternoon...Will also pick up some pliers and bring some screwdrivers as well, do we need connectors(what type of connectors), Wiring, etc???

Vibr8tr · Post by **Vibr8tr** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 8:57 pm

*off topic*Sorry all I won't be there now. I can't drive the Vibe legally for a month (see here for why http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=27145)I might see if I can make it down in the Lancer.... but cause of all the money I have to pay to get my Vibe back on the road, I don't think I can afford it anyway.Sorry again.... get lot's of pictures for me PLEASE!!!!!

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 12:10 am

You're the only person coming from that far away north right? Maybe you could ride with someone if anyone is close enough.

Vibr8tr · Post by **Vibr8tr** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 12:37 am

I think I am the farthest North.... I am not sure (I will check) I think the next closest is in Florida.... are there even any GA vibes going? But that still pus me driving through all of SC and GA.... we will seeThanks for the Idea though, I am looking into it.

VforVIBE · Post by **VforVIBE** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 4:09 am

Dang, sorry to hear that man, I hope you can find your way down here, but if not, we'll have a lot of fun with out you...er I mean we'll be very sad, (psst, bring the bird )... how long have you been in NC?

haha yeah we're gonna be the early ones. We'll setup everything and you guy get to clean up lol

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 3:27 pm

If I left tomorow morning you think I'd make it? I'm not a happy camper with this 2 feet of snow we got last night. If I would have caught this sooner I wouldn't mind spending a week down there basking in your heat. Could be an early spring break and Vibe meet! I probably wouldn't even be able to get my vibe out of the garage now cause its so darn low.My friend's mom lives in Northport. How far away is that from Augustine?

Vibr8tr · Post by **Vibr8tr** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 9:05 pm

I don't know, but if you change your mind and go, e-mail me first.... We could Vibe-pool the way down there.....

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 10:06 pm

Merz, it's about 4 more hours south than St. Augustine and Fayettville would be well out of your way but you would have one hell of a drive anyway so why not take a little detour that would be cool if you could come just rig up a snow plow to your Vibe

C'mon Arcs! You know you want to

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 11:19 pm

Well, I didn't say I HAD to visit my friends mom while I was down there. I could just get a room somewhere else lol. Like I said, too bad I didn't find out about it sooner or that would have been a fun early spring break for me.ANO get the helll outa here with your stupid weather forcasts Our forecast is sunny too for the rest of the week...except I don't think it's suposed to get about 19F...(removed) but atleast it's sunny right?

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 11:23 pm

LOL sunny is a plus so are you really considering coming down? If you do then I won't get the "Fool who drove the farthest" award

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 11:25 pm

No I can't at this late of notice. I would have to know atleast two weeks in advance for work. I wouldn't take my Vibe out in the snow anyways to get there. The roads are still wet and salty and disgusting and snowy so the trip through the northern states alone would make me nervous.

GrayFox · Post by **GrayFox** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 11:30 pm

haha well better safe than sorry I guess Maybe next year

VforVIBE · Post by **VforVIBE** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 12:05 am

awe man, it would have been so cool if you could have come down, but maybe next year.

JesseWHHS · Post by **JesseWHHS** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:40 am

So I need advice here people. lol. My parents tell me today they don't like the idea of me going to the meet. cause its so far away and you all are strangers. lol. Well Ive tried a little and cant get then to budge. Any idea of what I can say?I'm 18 years old. I have been employed since I was 16. I am paying for my car, insurance, gas, and everything else I have. Even this damn computer. haha. Ive thrown the "I'm a responsible young adult" thing at them. but hasn't worked yet. I am gonna talk to my dad tomorrow and try to convince him, its easier to convince him than it is her.The main prob is they don't understand why I want to go to this meet. lol. so try to help me out here! W/O this meet on Saturday, my 4 day weekend is CRAP. and well, I don't like CRAP. so genvibers work ur effin magic! haha.

VforVIBE · Post by **VforVIBE** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:44 am

My mom is freaking out too... "I want you to give me a list of the places you'll be and the people you'll be with..."you could tell them, that it means a lot to you and not to worry bacause it'll be in a very public place.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:59 am

(removed)...you kids....I had to deal with that when I was 16 three years ago Dont raise your tone of voice, do resonsible things so they see you are ready. If this was earlier you could drive a long way with one of them in the car to maybe a relatives house that lives far away but since the meet is tomorow that wouldn't work.SOOOO HERES MY ADVICE! I say, continue asking nicely tomorow, get up at the time you would be gettting up if you were going to the meet. Ask them nicely again and explain to them all the details, give them phone numbers, addresses, mapquest directions. Show them GENVIBE.com and this thread so they can camp out and read it while you're gone.If they flat out say now after all that work you've done.....GO ANYWAYS! At that point, if you give them real evidence that you can handle it, and they truely do trust you they would let you go. You are an adult at 18 so personally I would go anyways. I missed the first few meets in my area because of my mom and im pissed because every year the meets got smaller and smaller after that.So they do say no.....you go to the meet against their will...you make damage their trust in you but you will prove your responsibility as far as driving safe and stuff like that.
