Another Different Kind of Vibe Sighting, in Austin, TX

Post by 06pvibe »

So I'm leaving work today for the weekend, walk out to our parking lots and almost immediately spot a mono-Lave red Vibe. Probably an '05-'06 auto, but it has wheels. I go over to check it out. I then turned around and there I see another one across the lane!! This time is a mono-Neptune base auto, also an '05-'08.About three parking spaces down from that one is YET ANOTHER VIBE!! A mono Frosty auto this time, but in rougher looking condition. (Red, white and blue????)I couldn't let this pass, and on Friday the 13th no less.I ran down to my car, the Mazda, to get some paper. I stripped off 3 1"x3" pieces and wrote, "WWW.GenVibe.com06pvibe sent you."Speaking of Friday the 13th: Today when I got to work, I had 13 new e-mails, my password will expire in 13 days and it was (is) Friday the 13th.

That hasn't happened to me, but there are TONS of Vibes in my area. Just today I met a neighbor in my complex who owns my 06 monotone Neptune twin! I just keep flashing that V as they pass me by, until I can catch the rest of them.

We have found the owners usually either have their windows up (it's not THAT hot you weenies ) or are talking on a cell phone . We always joke that if someone actually waved back to us or something, we'd be so surprised we'd probably run right off the road . One of these days it will happen though, I just know it *fingers crossed*!

If I see you I will give you the V as in the "Vibe Power V" I give to all Vibes on the road. And, no other driver has ever given me the V back, and act totally disinterested that we are driving the same car. The other day, on an interstate, I pulled up to an identical Vibe in the other lane, flashed the V and a smile, and the driver looked at me like I was nuts. Oh well, I know you all "get it"!
