How many Vibes do you see everyday ( on average )?

Post by huy397 »

Excluding your own Vibe and ones at the dealerships...In the town I work in, there are probably 3 other Vibes in total plus one Neptune Vibe sitting at the dealer.But I don't see those other 3 Vibes very often at all, and it's a small town.So, ZERO is my answer.My Vibe is quite unique. hehe.

I see a lot, around 5-6/day. I see a lot of the same ones though. A lady that lives about a block from me, I see everyday!

some days I'll see almost 10 different ones, but other days I'll only see 3 or 4. I see a lot though. So far I'm the only one in my parking lot at work with a Vibe. I have seen a couple in visitor parking before though.

I will say that there is 1 Vibe in my neighborhood (yay! ... but I haven't gotten him to join GenVibe yet ) and another one about a couple miles from my house. (Need to talk to this guy still)Other than those two, I tend to see 1 Vibe per day here in Madison, today at a stop light I even saw an Abyss base vibe across from me and noticed she was looking over. Gave her a big thumbs-up with a smile and she returned it with a grin :D :D :D :DOddly enough, here in Madison I see more Vibes that Trix's. I see a Matrix mb once per week, very odd.I guess people in Madison just have a better sense of style

There's at least 1 in the parking lot of my apt. complex. There used to be 2, but I don't know where the Frosty went; haven't seen it since I got mine. There's a Satellite (two tone) that I pass on the Dumbarton bridge every morning, and another Satellite (monotone) in the parking lot of where I sometimes go for lunch.Add to that the misc I see every now and then (saw an Abyss in the city today, and a Salsa on the freeway), and I'll see around 3 to 6 a day total.It's definitely increasing, though.

I don't think I've seen 25 total -- ever --- they're very rare around here. Matrix sightings are only a little more common -- besides my own, I see maybe 1 or 2 a week.

Matrix is even rarer in the town I live and work.I don't think anyone drives a Matrix at all... But back home, there are more Matrices than Vibes.I see probably 3~4 Matricies and 1 Vibe if I am lucky each time I goout. However, I always see Vibes on Sundays. Yesterday on my back to work on the highway, I saw two Vibes and it was a Sunday.

One a day would be pushing it for me, but some days I might see 3 or 4. I know when I first got my Vibe, it was very rare to see one that wasn't on a dealers lot, but now I'm seeing them a LOT more!

HAHA I see like 5-15 a day I live like 20 minutes from Detroit. The thing is that most of the poeple driving them are old people like 60's+ which ticks me off...So when i get more money mine will stand out in the crowd of the old people

I see about 4 or 5 a day, but I've only seen one Matrix in the three months I've had my Vibe.

I see 10 - 20 on the road, more in the parking lot. (I probably see those that fire_502 and Merzbow see.) Yes, many are driven by older people, but I am probably one of the older people to Merzbow. They are great commute vehicles in metro Detroit. I have a couple of older co-workers that may get them.

I see a Vibe every day on the way to my son's daycare and a Matrix everyday here at work. Occasionally I see one or two others a day as well.

I haven't been seeing as many Vibes as I used to. (weird) I am only seeing about 7-10 vibes a week and about 5-8 matrixes a day.

I probably see 10-15 a day. I'm in the Detroit area and they seem to be everywhere. I almost don't even pay attention to other Vibes anymore. In fact, there are 3 Vibes (mine included) in my office parking lot and we only have about 20 office employees. One of my neighbors has one too.

Here in the Baltimore MD area, the only Vibe I've seen with any consistancy is a woman who works in the building I work in. She's got a Shadow Base Vibe (I can tell - I studied her car quite a bit when purchasing mine).Other than that one, I could go as long as a week before seeing a Vibe. Not like the Matrix - that car is pretty popular here. I can see as many as four Matrices a day.Like I said in a previous post, the Vibe's relative rarity in this area was a huge selling point for me. My first car ('96 Nissan Altima, which I still have) is a total road roach. She's a champagne color - kinda like beige. That has to be the most common color for that make and model. It wasn't uncommon to pull up behind one identical to mine at a light, then look in the rearview and see another one just like mine behind me!
