To answer your question, Mrizz...I found the site doing online research leading up to my purchase...trusty old google. Actually developed my Vibe appreciation with an '04 I had as a rental on a business trip.Wish I had a better story...sorry.-chuck(btw, drunkenvibe, the handle "yardbird" has more to do with the fact that I share a namesake with a famous dead bebop player than any particular affinity with poultry...sorry once again..

Zuben,I need to get around to snapping some pics...for both here and my little corner of the web to show off to friends and family.Of course, I need to wash it first (Virginia in April is prime pollen time - a black car isn't supposed to be green) and find a suitably pleasing location - my driveway isn't it, given the cramped spaces and kid toys...

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Vibe!Your 'dead bebopper' clue had me going there for a minute... Bebop's a little before my time and somewhat removed from my WASP upbringing, but I do listen to old recordings now and then, so you must be Charlie Parker.

that's me, kostby...though my dad was "Charlie"....I'm "chuck", and play guitar and bass rather than sax....used to be in a jazz combo, though; "birdland" was even on the setlist...and yeah, bebop is a little before my time, but everybody's gotta know the classics.anyway, thanks for the welcome! I look forward to upcoming coversations.-chuck

Tis way before my time but man, I'd love to go back in time and see the greats in action. Yes, I agree, you gotta know the classics. Welcome aboard, bird!
