I just got the Fall 2005 Pontiac Performance magazine in the mail.There's a few articles about Vibes and Vibe owners and a shout out for genvibe.com! Wow! I thought that was cool.

I got it the other day, along with my FHM magazine with Victoria Sylvsted on the cover, guess which one I am still reading and which one I didn't get to yet.

Ok, who on the site works for the mag? Seems like a lot of support for the site, I would think the person who contributes these articles would at least be a lurker on the site, SHOW YOURSELF!

Post by **NSimkins** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:33 am

Thanks for posting the images, gargoyle! It seems that after I had moved earlier this year, I just flat out stopped receiving the magazines. I have an e-mail into one of the writers of the magazine to see if I can get them started back up, as well as a possible way to get others that do not receive the magazine their own subscription as well.

Seems like a lot of support for the site, I would think the person who contributes these articles would at least be a lurker on the site, SHOW YOURSELF! To be honest, it seems they go through writers very quickly over at the magazine so I'll hear from someone new for almost every edition they put out when they want content to write about genvibe. I spoke with the writer that put our blurb in this latest edition a few months ago to discuss the short, but sweet content that was to be included.I try to get at least a link mentioned in each edition to help draw those potential Vibe owners over to our site.

The one I got has NO Vibe articles at all!On the first scan of Gargoyle's, you can tell it is page 9. Here is a scan of my page 9 ...

Actually, there's probably more than two versions. These mags are created for specific vehicle-owners, which is why you'll see a lot of Vibe articles if you're being sent these.

It looks like you can subscribe (free 1-year subscription!) to a personalized (Vibe!) version of the Pontiac Performance Magazine here...www.myGMmagazine.comIt asks for your VIN# and some profile info.

ya, they had wanted to do an update article after phil got his vibe up here, but the contact person i was dealing with last year is no longer there! lol. i think it'd be cool to get a short blurb and mention how the vibe has brought a few people together (myself and Phil along with Kari and CP) over long distances! what a great car! i think we'll probably keep mav's vibe when we upgrade his vehicle down the road since i love the fusion vibes and they no longer sell them. it's such a great car and i really do miss having mine.

When I then signed up for a 1-year subscription under Pontiac, it only asked for my mailing address. There was no place to customize what magazine issue I wanted.

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 9:56 pm

I figure it takes your VIN and uses that to distinguish which vehicle you have to send the appropriate mag.?.

I put in my VIN# and it recognized me. My dealer must have registered me (and my VIN#) when I purchased because I never gave out that info. Maybe once your subscription is processed in their system, you can go back and personalize it?

I'll bring in the mag and scan it to a PDF so you all can read the entire thing. I hope I can remember.

Hi there,Unfortunately I haven't yet done anything with a Pontiac Vibe, I've mostly worked on Nissan spots (boo hiss) but I gotsta do what my company tells me. A coworker did a cool kaleidoscoping effect with a Vibe though, I will see about getting a clip of it and posting it somewhere for you all to see it. This week I'll see about digging up the model reference we have and maybe I can come up with something that doesn't suck too much. ~~Brianna(thanks Cybervyber for dropping me a line - I've lurked at genvibe before, but didn't know I was actually a topic of conversation! lol)

From what feedback I've gathered, the best and really only way to get a copy of the Pontiac Performance magazine would be through the website below. This will not guarantee that you'll get the Vibe edition, however. Enter your last name/VIN and see if that works, if not click the Pontiac button to get your free one-year subscription.http://www.mygmmagazine.comAlso, if there are any interested members here that would like to contribute a quote or positive looking feedback about the magazine in a future edition, please e-mail me at nick@genvibe.com for more details (e-mail is preferred for this particular inquiry).
