Alright Member Roll Call.

Post by biggdogg173 »

I've been looking at the Vibe for a while and got one this past weekend. I live halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee and have only seen 1 other Vibe (in the driveway at a house near my sister's). Where are all of the Vibe owners located?

Hey Biggdogg! I'm in Naples, FL, down in the southwest corner of the state. I've only seen two other Vibes down here, and one was on I-75 getting out of town real fast. The other is Satellite and, ironically, keeps showing up in the neighborhood where I live.BTW: Heh heh....I love Office Space...

I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio. There are a few Vibes here, but not very many. Bandit, I have the same "problem". There's a Satellite Vibe that keeps showing up in my neighborhood too. Seems like it's always as I'm leaving my house too. Kind of makes you wonder.

Don't have mine yet, but I saw one while eating Pizza at lunch... Abyss. One weekend I saw 5 and then none for a long time until just recently a few more have been popping up... saw a Neptune at Subway getting a sandwhich.

I have only seen one Vibe other than my own, locally...the driver in the other Vibe spotted me, as well, and we both kind of slowed down when crossing paths at the local Wal-Mart to show mutual Vibe appreciation! Sorta silly, but there really is a strange sense of pride when you are driving such a highly sought after vehicle! Mine is currently in the shop ( accident ) so until I get my precious car back, I hate having to go anywhere in the rental car I was supplied with...it's a 2002 Dodge Neon...talk about a down-grade! Also, on a recent trip from PA to NC, I didn't see NOT EVEN ONE other Vibe! We must be a rare breed, huh?

Since I got my silver Vibe GT on the Ides of March (15 March 2002), I have not seen a single other Vibe on the roads/streets of southern California. I have been from San Bernardino to San Diego and from Riverside to LA. Not a one! Kinda makes ya wonder where they all are.

I read on some site somewhere that there were only around 13,000 sold so far, maybe that's why they are hard to find on the road. I'm just glad I got mine!

Saw a Satellite Vibe tonight from Alberta... I couldn't take my eyes off it. First one I've seen at night. We were coming up behind it and I said to my boyfriend "is that a Vibe!?" Yup it was. I've seen quite a few of them in the past week.

I only seen 3 here in Milwaukee, got one wave and another one looked at me like I was crazy.( was right next to him at stoplight, gave nod and got nothing!) I have seen a few more Matrix's though even got a "nice ride man!" from one of them. I like that there is not to many on the road, it makes all of us unique.

Just got my Vibe last Saturday. I have not seen any other Vibes in Northern CA, except near the car lots where they are going for test drives. I have seen a few of the Matrix.

Here in Calgary, Alberta I've seen three - two Lava's and one Abyss GT... not on the road but at a dealership. Took that GT and seriously wound her out on a test drive (no salesman!) - what a hoot!Just wish I'd see my abyss parked in front of my house instead of on a 'to be built' list... waiting for September...waiting... waiting.

Hey Viberations! I'm a Rochester, NY transplant now living in Lansdale, PA (just outside Philly). I was driving my Shadow GT around your area all this past weekend. Went home for a reunion and camped in Farmington area. So, if you saw a Vibe with PA plates, it was me. Saw a trailer load of Vibes on the turnpike this weekend. Wonder where they were going?Also, we've been regularly seeing Satellite, Neptune, Abyss, and Lava Vibes around Lansdale (probably the same 4 cars). I think they are base models and they are usually going the opposite direction I am. I think I'm the only GT in town. The dealer in town (where I bought mine) said the only other Vibe's he sold were base models. Seems to be lots of interest in the Salsa Vibe out front of the dealership however.
