I think I was just looking for anything "Vibe" on Yahoo...and I remember stumbling upon it...And my friend in Indiana who I stayed wtih probably will be lurking around here...she has an old Le Baron convertible...which she loves...but I was using her PC while I stayed, and I know GVC is in the address bar...she'll prolly be like "oooh, what's this?" Hehe.

Like a lot of others, I found mine through a google search for "Vibe forums."I did it for all the cars I was looking for, to see if there was an active enthusiast's community for the vehicles I was looking at, to see what kind of general population owned the vehicles.Needless to say, I found the best group of people were the Vibe owners, so it did play a tiny part in getting a Vibe. It just also helped that it was the best car I was looking at as well :D

So far almost all have reported finding genvibe from an internet search, although a few have been referred by friends. How about the rest of us, anybody else beside 17tobyracing from the article in Pontiac Performance or from some other referral?
