What's with the AC plug sticking out of the lower grill? Welcome to the site and enjoy! There is a lot of info here. All you have to do is ask!

welcome to genvibe! Give that thing a good bath i did a double take on that front wheel, the sidewall blends into the metal wheel, and with only a little of the rubber wet and black, it looks like you have 19 or 20 inch wheels on there,the cord is probably for the block heater.

(removed)! Not to sound like a stereotypical ignorant American, but people LIVE in the Yukon???

[JSCampbell]

Yes, The AC is for the block heater. It got down to -49C here in January, that is near 60 below F. I have synthetic oil and a battery warmer too!There are about 30,000 people in the Yukon, and yes, we do have dogsled races.JS

Guess the next time I think my Vibe is dirty I can just come here and be reassured that it is pretty freakin' clean!

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Vibe!You probably have LOTS of cold-weather stories to amaze and amuse the rest of us...

[ToolGuy]

Welcome, you and your mud! Now go wash that thing for Gods sake!

[Mr. Poopypants]

Welcome!! That is one dirty Vibe!

[cieglo]

That is a BEAUTIFUL thing. The best cars are the cars that get used. Cars are are the most fun when they get abused. You look like you've got a great car that's a lot of fun. And the scenery is most excellent!

[drunkenmaxx]

[MoonDogg]

Welcome to the forum... looks like you had alot of fun... I am assuming you have AWD?

[JSCampbell]

Nope, it is only FWD. But I have Studded winter tires. Nokian.Why live here? Hmm, a sense of freedom, I can go out my back door and dissappear in the woods. I can walk where noone has ever walked. And see animals (deer, moose, elk, black bear, grizzlies, wolves, wolverines, carriboo... you get the picture I do have some pics on my website of the local areahttp://www.manitoo.ca just select pictures All that said, and I am moving to Germany in July. lolI will have to see how the vibe handles Denmark and the areas around the Baltic sea.Cheers,JS

[redlava]

That'll be a hefty freight bill!!Just idle curiosity, what would something like that cost?Welcome to the forum.

[JSCampbell]

I will know more in a couple of weeks when the quotes come in, but we did move back to Canada last July from Germany and it cost around $8000USD.Cheers,JS

Welcome to genvibe! Your Vibe looks just like mine - right down to the mud. I haven't washed it since September. Bought a car wash, but haven't used it yet because the lineup was over an hour long.

[rebbierae]

hey JS--welcome to Gen Vibe! Everyone here is GREAT! PS What kind of bike do you have?

[Ponyota]

Welcome JS..... Enjoy your stay and wash that car!

[jmf2]

wow, that brings back memories of the time my family drove the alaska highway back in 1970. we stopped to set up our tent trailer just outside of whitehorse, after a rainy day of travel. we had about 2-3 inches of mud over half the trailer, and we had to stop at a lake shore and use several buckets to wash off the mud before we could open up the trailer. beautiful country you live in JSC.
