Dates for Michigan meet this summer

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Wed Apr 16, 2003 11:18 am

This poll is to get a majority vote on what date we should have our get together. This will help members plan in advance for this event. It will also help rasermon and I narrow down to final location. We don't know the exact location as of yet, but we do know that it will be in the Fenton/Flint, Michigan area. We are going to tally the results of the poll by Monday, April 28th.Please make your opinion known so we can finalize a date. Also, if a specific date will not work, post that in a reply. We want to be able to accomadate as many members as possible.

I think we also better come up with a back up date incase it rains.Maybe June 21 and June 28---if it rains on the 21st.No one wants to show off a dirty Vibe.

Only one more week to vote everyone. Be sure to get your vote in if you plan on attending. Thanks!

The date doesn't matter to me. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know. Carl

Coho, one day next month I'm going down to Fenton and find a couple locations for our meet. If you would like to tag along that would be great.

I am looking forward to the get together this summer... I just hope I can have everything I want to have done by then

***Bump***Genvibe has a 100 members from Mi.

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 5:14 am

I wonder where our 100 votes are then? It looks like we could get 10 to 20 members to come. That would be really cool.

Is the date picked or what?!

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 12:58 am

I think so CaCathy13. It looks like we will probably go with June 28th. We are going to discuss it over the weekend and post it Monday. We will also look at having a back up date as well.

You may want a cup with a lid and a straw for your coffee too. You don't want to get any tar or feathers in it. LOL!

Would Matrix owners be allowed at your guys meet? I live pretty close to Michigan and I am always down for a cruise.-Slink

slinkston · Post by **slinkston** » Sun Apr 27, 2003 1:23 pm

I see so many Vibes around my area and I have not had the chance to talk to any of them. It would be nice just to see what everyone is up to -Slink

Vibe · Post by **Vibe** » Sun Apr 27, 2003 1:23 pm

YOU BET-you are welcome, I'd love to see the Matrix up close.Vibe----Matrix Who Cares--they all sit on the same chassis ,so bring it on up!!!!!!!!! James

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 4:58 am

Well folks, it looks like we have our date set for June 28th. We are looking at having a back up date two week later on July 12th. The reason for the skipped week is because of the 4th of July. We want to make sure as many people can come as possible and the holiday may interfere with some members being able to make it. We will post a location as soon as we have secured one. Thank you all for your votes. I would like to know how many are members are saying that they will definately make it and how many are possibilities.

slinkston · Post by **slinkston** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 9:49 pm

I will definately try to make this meet. Around this time, June-July, I am going to have to help my parents start moving. I may also move with them, but I'm not sure at this time.There are a couple Matrix owners that live in the Michigan area. If and when the location, time, address, flyer, etc is put up, I'll post it on matrixowners.com and matrixvibe.net. I'm sure some of them will be interested. Hopefully, by this time I will have some more mods on my vehicle. I'm looking to get Tein coilovers, hotchkis sway bars and stb by this time So mark me down as a good possibility! -Slink

I missed the voting. I would be interested in attending tho.

Vibe · Post by **Vibe** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 3:16 pm

Vibe will be there come h*** or high water!

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 9:09 pm

It is good to hear that there are members that are really sure they are coming. I think it will be a really good time.

Nervous_Dog · Post by **Nervous_Dog** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 10:14 pm

Put me down as a good possibility. As of now, I'm free that weekend. Hope to have some mods done by then

Count me in, Boys! I'm looking forward to it!

GREAT!!!!!! Someone from out of state-Wow this ought to be fun --Hey Canada you all are welcome too!! James (Vibe)

slinkston · Post by **slinkston** » Thu May 01, 2003 2:58 am

Any updates? Got a location secured yet? I will post about this at the matrixowners as well as matrixvibe. This will be cool!-Slink

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Thu May 01, 2003 3:45 am

I believe that rasermon is going to be looking into a location this weekend. We will definately let everyone know as soon as we find out. I was going to post in MatrixVibe.net when we have more info and if you would like to post in Matrixowners, that would be cool as well. We would just like to know around how many people are looking at coming. We don't want to meet somewhere and it not be large enough for all who come.

slinkston · Post by **slinkston** » Thu May 01, 2003 4:04 am

I hear that. There was a Toyota meet at a Toyota dealership. It was fun. They let us use one of their corners and it was all good. People were pulling in to meet us and show off their Toyota...I don't have a problem if you guys could get a Pontiac/GM dealership to let us meet. I'm not sure what they would say about Toyota coming , but some dealership are cool about that stuff...-Slink

StockMatrix · Post by **StockMatrix** » Fri May 02, 2003 12:33 am

I just caught wind of this site from Matrixvibe.net, I live down in Ohio but goto school up in Michigan. I plan on coming up to check my apartment out over the summer so if it falls on the right weekend I'd stop by. The only thing I know about Fenton is that Joseph Dealership with the corny commercials. I've got a Silver Matrix, base, auto, but it is fun to have in NE Michigan where they don't really exist.

rasermon · Post by **rasermon** » Fri May 02, 2003 1:51 am

Welcome, I notice that your from Saginaw. I'm just 9 miles north in Bay City.

StockMatrix · Post by **StockMatrix** » Fri May 02, 2003 6:44 am

I've lived in Michigan since the fall of 2001, so far I have lived in Midland, Bay City (Auburn), and Saginaw. I'd have to say that Saginaw is the busiest, Midland is the worst, and Bay City has a Hooters that's waterfront. I'm pretty familiar with all the main roads in all 3 towns. I've probably passed you and didn't realize it, there are 100's of Vibes around. Even the lady who cuts my hair has a black one.

slinkston · Post by **slinkston** » Mon May 05, 2003 2:51 am

Update: Sigh... I am moving to Phoenix, Arizona around the 2nd week in June. Sorry, count me out. This sure sucks as I wanted to meet you guys/ladies. Best luck with your meet.Damn. I am going to have to get Tein Coilovers and Hotchkis swaybars later as I have to put money done for moving...-Slink

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Mon May 05, 2003 2:56 am

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to make it. We will have some pics posted here of the meet.I know how you feel about having to wait to get things for your Vibe. We just bought a bunch of new furniture and now I am going to have to wait for some of the bigger ticket items for mine.

Pablo1669 · Post by **Pablo1669** » Mon May 05, 2003 3:46 am

Obviously I'm new to the group here, picked up my Vibe GT in January 03, and I'm just now getting on this site. I think I'll be able to come up to the Fenton area for a meeting. What kind of stuff is planned if anything yet?

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Mon May 05, 2003 3:51 am

Welcome to the forum!So far we have a date set of June 28th. As far as what is planned, it will be a lot of conversing, checking out other Vibes/Matrixes and meeting each other. It should be a good time.

rasermon · Post by **rasermon** » Tue May 06, 2003 11:17 am

Within a week I'm going down to Fenton to find a location for our meet. We need to start another thread and get a head count. It's going to be a great time.

Houston · Post by **Houston** » Thu May 08, 2003 2:09 pm

I got this Vibe to make people think I'm young. But lately around here, as more and more Vibes are appearing on the scene, I swear most of them are driven by old folks like me. Do you young folks now think you own an old peoples car? From reading these posts, it's obvious that most of you are young, but I wonder if GM has available the median age of Vibe buyers.I noticed above that one of you lives a little north of Bay City. I used to live in Kawkawlin. Fun little town - at least it was forty-some years ago.

GT-X · Post by **GT-X** » Thu May 08, 2003 10:20 pm

I don't mean to affend anyone but if I took the demographic of people in my area buying this car. I would have to thing that I was driving a chic/old people car. Like every Vibe I've seen in clarkston/waterford hell south east michigan have been girls driving them. Except GT's seem to but driven by guys who knows....

GT-X · Post by **GT-X** » Thu May 08, 2003 10:23 pm

ok I can't spell this morningsorry

Vibe · Post by **Vibe** » Fri May 09, 2003 3:55 pm

When all of our Vibes are parked and we all are wondering around.I made a sign to place on my windshield saying ---Vibe--James Stewart-- St. Clair Shores , Michigan so when people walk around they can see and know who owns this Vibe. I would also suggest that we have a name tag for our shirts.I can't wait to meet all of my friends from GENVIBE. James

Kangaroooski · Post by **Kangaroooski** » Sat May 10, 2003 3:29 pm

Is there any idea yet for where in Fenton the "cruise in" is going to be? I dont mean to be pushy, I was just wondering.

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Sun May 11, 2003 10:01 pm

quote:Is there any idea yet for where in Fenton the "cruise in" is going to be?When you say "cruise in," are you talking about meeting somewhere outside of Fenton and then everyone following each other in? If so, I don't think we were looking at doing this. We could consider it, but with how far some people might be coming from, they may just want to meet at the site. We will look at this though once we have confirmed our location.

tau166 · Post by **tau166** » Mon May 12, 2003 5:24 am

ok, so I've been busy and not reading/posting on genvibe for a while. I missed the voting. I will probably be there. I live close enough so as long as I'm not out of town

I'm sorry, for cruise in I meant where we're all going to meet. I am just used to calling it a cruise in, it comes from my days with my hotrod (1972 Chevy Chevelle SS).

I just wasn't sure what you meant. I'm used to hearing a get together like this called a rally. Must be the type of cars you have changes the name of what a meet actually is.I didn't hear from Joseph Pontiac yesterday so I am hoping to hear from them today. If I don't, I am going to call them again tommorow. I will keep everyone posted. From what the sales manager told me, it sounds like it could be promising.

I know some dealers may get a little skiddish over this factor (it doesn't matter to us, of course), but you know how dealers are.Just wondering...

Yes I did tell him that there may be a few Matrixes there. But I also told him that it would be primarily Vibes. He said that it should be fine. We also have to make mention of this in MatrixVibe.net as well. We may be able to get a few more to come from there.

I pulled into a 7-11 (walton/M-24) the other day, and there was a chick getting out of her Vibe and we just started talking. I won't complain about girls drivin Vibes.

Triton · Post by **Triton** » Mon May 12, 2003 10:15 pm

Out of all the Vibes in my area, every one of them except one GT, have been driven by an older person. The GT was driven by a younger guy, probably a college student. I don't worry about what others age or gender is when it comes to the Vibe. A secretary at my wifes work said that the Vibe is a "cute" car and was surprised that I guy would drive it. I beg to differ. I love my car and the mods I have done to it. I don't think it is an old peoples car or a chick car by any means. It is a good car for anyone who gets behind the wheel. Anyways, back to our regular scheduled forum topic of the Michigan meet!
