A hand-written license plate on the road. No it wasn't a temp tag, he wrote his plate number and state and expiration date on a piece of paper and taped it in his window.

Awwwww...poor little HHR is having an identity crisis! Look, its trying so hard to be a vibe! "maybe if I sit next to this one that's the same color, and if I hide my bowtie, and don't show my chevy hubcaps...nobody will know I'm not a Vibe."

A while back in a parking lot, my vibe was parked a few spaces over from another vibe, and a couple lanes ahead was another vibe between us. So the three vibes formed an equalateral triangle in the parking lot! (no, im sorry i have no pictures)

Since Applejuice got his Vibe, we've made it priority to park near each other. I even got one of my coworkers, who we conveniently parked next to, to give me the look of funny ridicule I was looking for. A few days agoJust today(These also show off my new driving lights. I love 'em!)

even if i carried a camera around, i'd never get an opportunity to do this. i only rarely see another vibe in traffic and they never seem to make the connection between us

I was at the grocery store in Decorah, IA last weekend and saw a Vibe parked toward the back of the lot. My Vibe is the Neptune GT. I really like the color of the other guy, though.

RHM and a nice clean Fusion ('05? '06?).Last Friday was a red-letter day on my calendar - I saw EIGHT other Vibes around here! That's a record for this area (and I saw them all within about an hour!). I normally only see one or two other Vibes on any given day (and one of them is the same Lava Vibe I drive past on the way home every day).

Hey look, it's Frosty Jake's stock brother!It was a small sidewalk/parking lot, so a reflection shot is as good as I could get without looking odd.

Got a couple here I need to add:Vibe love at the clothing store: Vibe love at the hardware store (I actually didn't park here initially, but I saw it when I was leaving and pulled into the space JUST to take the picture, because I was excited that it was an Envy... AND a matrix in the background as well. These are the ones from my phone... but I know I have more somewhere, I'll have to go find them.

While rolling into Kmart to pick up Portal 2 this morning (it's only $34.99!), I see this Vibe sitting by its lonesome. Decided to give it some love. My ride is on the left.

I never seem to get lucky in parking next to another Vibe, or have someone park next to me. I meet or see plenty while driving, but so far haven't had anyone return a wave or a smile. I even had my Vibe's twin pull up next to me at an intersection a few days ago...the driver never even looked JR

It has been mentioned all over on here numerous times that the majority of non-GenVibe member driven Vibes are completely oblivious to other Vibe owners and just how awesome their Vibes are. It's sad. I have thought many times, if I had the money I would get a ton of GenVibe decals from Grafx Werks and put one on every Vibe I see to help spread the Gosphel of Vibe .

Actually, I have a friend who does Vinyl and I could have them make a whole mess of em real cheap, but since IDK if Grafixwerks has the exclusive on the decals, or if it would make someone mad, I've just added a post-it pad to my glove box with the intention of leaving a note...

the cards are an acceptable idea... as for the decal, I didn't mean actually applying it to their car, just like put the sticker still in all of its backing and facing under a wiper.the card could say something like:You just got some VIBE LOVE! Come to genvibe.com and check it out
