HI!

Post by pontoyac »

hello, first off I want to commend you on a great site, very informativ and relatively easy to use I just signed on today, but I have been frequently visiting since my wife and I bought our first vibe in 2004. We now own two of them both 03 models, one base model red, currently with no mods, and the other is an AWD with a custom paint job and list of future mods to come, and is currently at the body shop awaiting reassembly. Our base model vibe has recently encountered a semi truck and trailer,(I lost), and is now temporarily out of commision. Hopefully I can use this new avenue of information and support, to locate the pieces necessary to put the car back on the road this spring. In the meantime we have the awd to keep our appetites satiated!

every one was fine, I was the sole occupant in the Vibe, and the truck probably didnt feel a thing. the impact was probably less than 10kph. I will post some pics soon, its not wild grafx, but a suttle two tone platinum and onyx.(fancy way to say "Black'n'Silver")

Negative, those were some pretty cars though, but the Vibe I was driving is red and the only damage was to the drivers side windshield pillar and door, other than that the damage I sustained personally is the inconvenience of having two Vibes in the shop, my backup vehicle having the mileage of a loaded school bus running on three cylinders, and some glass in my pants! lol
