Welcome to the AWD club, your exclusive membership comes with the right to brag, worship, and hold your head up high during inclement and snowy weather towards others who are not so lucky.That right extends to the forums of MO and Genvibe where you are allowed to post how awesome your AWD is in the snow (once it stops being 80 degrees outside) and to also put down anyone with a FWD base, XR, XRS, GT who thinks they have superior capabilities on their cars such as snow tires. Feel free to enjoy these rights and bask in them as you are now part of the exlusive club of AWD Trix/Vibe owners!

yah the dealership advised me that they are no longer making the AWD Vibes.. and they are very hard to find in my area.. so i did a search around.. and they were right.. there are no AWD Vibes for sale in my area.. Im happy with it.. I jumped in for a test drive.. and it was weird at first.. just like my trix.. but this pontiac logo on the steering wheel... and a sunroof.. lol.. Im happy to be a Viber and a Trixer..

Again AWD donuts in the snow FTMFW!!!Oh and yes they are hard to find. It took me a month and 4 states to find my 05 AWD Trix. I live in CT so I searched NY, CT, MA, and RI. Finally made a 2.5 hour drive to Dartmouth, MA to get the thing.

'Don't say Tribe, especially after what I had to watch last night.' Today is not a good day.

He better of gotten it.No History Channel was boring last night too. The Yankees lost, so I spent the last hour before bed playin Tiger Woods '07. I F'ed up my second round and fell to +6 116th place on hole 7. Turned it around to get to -12 on 18 and took the lead, then just dominated the last two rounds of the National, made another 3mil.
