It is missing all the ambiance of mine: cracked windshied. dented door, missing fog light, 1 billion paint chips, pitted headlights, loose cladding......(and that's just the exterior) It's in amazingly good shape for 86k+. There's a few dings and many of the usual paint chips on the hood, but no major damage, and the paint cleaned up really well when it was taken in and polished heavily. It needed a new tranny when my dad found it for my sister, but since then it's been a champion.Quote, originally posted by vibolista »Is that a green 09 or 2010 behind the other 4? You guys will own 4 collector cars by late Monday night or early Tuesday. White over gray is still my favorite combination on first gen Vibes. It's my dad's '72 GMC 3/4 ton. It looks a bit like an '09 or '10 Vibe if you squint. A lot.When I got my Vibe, white on grey wasn't really my first choice, but I've had it for 10 months now, and I think it's grown on me. I don't really mind it as much anymore. I think the 17" GT wheels helped give it a bit of a sharper look (over the stock steelies & hubcaps), and I do always appreciate how clean white looks as compared to my fiance's Abyss black. Even though hers gets the carport every night and mine's out on the street, mine always appears to be cleaner because you can't see as much dirt and junk on it.A few more photos involving the Vibe from our trip:A brief stop off in Santa Barbara. That's my fiance on the right, and her sister on the left.And the required Blue Steel from my fiance's sister, along with my dumb self.At Disneyland, I wish I had taken a photo of my Vibe. Because I had the Thule rack on the roof, they put us in "oversized vehicle parking" where the Vibe was dwarfed by these huge lifted trucks, or conversion vans. Good thing oversized parking was a much closer walk than standard parking
