Spotted 15 Vibes on the road today!!

Post by BlueCrush »

I went up to Cold Spring (150 mile round trip) to pull out the docks at my parents cabin and thought I would try to see how many Vibes I could spot. I saw 9 on the way there and 6 on the way back. Pretty cool to see so many of them on the road.

Glad to see more Vibe's are on the road now.... Dealers around the area are selling them like crazy as I have been shopping for a new one for the last month or so. The price of a used Vibe is amazingly high. One dealer wanted $18,000 for a base 08 two-tone with 30,000 miles.

LOL, congrats dude. There are a ton of Vibes on the roads now aren't there?I went to a festival last weekend. On the way to get my friend I was riding with 3 Vibes in a group, an '09 and two '05s.On the way to the festival I was riding with a red '04 GT with tint and green grafxwerks overlays.On the way home from the festival I was with a Shadow '03 with rims.On the freeway on the way home I was in a big convoy, 4 Vibes behind me and 3 Vibes in front of me, for a total of 8 including myself. Four of them were '03s, two were '09s and one was an '05.All of these were within' a 5 hour time frame.The drivers in the Vibe with the over lays and the one with the rims were the only two that so much as glanced at my Vibe. All the others never even looked over

I think a lot of it has to do with where you live. Here in Indiana every time I drive somewhere I always see 4 or 5 Vibes out on the road or parked somewhere. Last time I went to Maryland to visit family, I was there for two weeks and maybe saw 3 vibes the entire time. I go to MD at least once a year and there have been times I haven't seen a single Vibe until I got halfway back to Indiana. Wonder why they don't sell as many out East?

For living about 4 miles away from where the Vibe is built, I see about 3x as many Matrices as I do Vibes per day.

I see more and more everyday around here. Most of them are silver like mine, but the others are always red, blue, and white. I've only seen one 2009 on the road.

Us Vibe owners must be keeping all of GM afloat. You'd think they'd be able to make some profit from all these cars they sell! I see all years of Vibes and quite a few Matrix around our area. Very popular cars here, too. Gradually seeing more 09's on the road. Damn, didn't know that Vibes caused wrinkles, though. EPA know this? I always thought it was the Matrix that did that to people.
