Goodbye to my Vibe.... for now

Post by Mavrik »

Well for those of you that do read more then just the lounge area and have not been under a rock since last year lol, you knew I was moving. If you didn't know, well now you do. As some of you also know and the rest of you now, I married Hope aka TRDVibe on here. Either she moved to Ontario Canada or I moved to Anchorage Alaska.Well I moved... funny eh? Anyway I left Ontario on Feb 16th and flew up here, leaving my Pontiac Vibe in the hands of my folks. I can only hope they have better luck with my car then they do with their own... My mom has rolled their last pickup and the one they have now definatly has the farm truck look you know. So I am way the heck up here waiting for my paperwork and all that to get done so I can get a job in a few months. Also in May I will fly back to Canada and get the Vibe, or whats left anyway and drive it back up here with Hope.

good luck getting the paperwork through quickly, so you can stop being a freeloading immigrant and start contributing lots and lots of tax dollars while you're anchored down in anchorage. I'm sure there will be lots of adjustment, you're going to have to start thinking in terms miles instead of km, °F instead of °C, etc. Maybe a cluster swap for the Vibe? Maybe your Mom will wreck the Vibe and you can talk her into buying you a GTO as a replacement. Then you could humble Hope in her puny 180 HP GT.

free loading? haha to funny man. I had enough saved up to last me a while up here without hurting anyone by free loading lol. And I am really looking forward to contributing to the rising tax amount everyone is paying here.

I can get away with comments like that freeloading one because I trust you to know I was joking.

Good Luck, God Bless the both of you, hey Mav, maybe you can take the GT and have Hope trade yours in, then you could have lift.
