[WaveAction]

looks good man! another red one

[farles]

Very happy for you...looked like a nice day to get the car.Sorry, not sure how to attach a video.

[WaveAction]

im sure theirs an option somewhere to upload the video and also put the link down here..there is a link but i tried to copy and paste it onto here and it's just a huge link that does nothing

[dutchvibe]

It was a great day. We live inland from Lake Erie the closer we got to the dealership the colder it got. This time of the year the cold wind of the lake keep Erie and Girard (the town where the dealership is) about 8-10 degrees colder!

[dutchvibe]

I tried that too..... I know it can be done....but how!

[jwalcik]

Looks great! Congrats!

[dutchvibe]

Thanks.... I think I will really like this car. (when I get to drive it)Used my GM card saving !!!!! $3500.00 discount of the negotiated price!

[imspace2]

So happy for ya and thanks those car website pics just don't do the car justice, so how long did it take for you to get your Vibe from the day you ordered it.

[dutchvibe]

I ordered the Vibe on March 6th......So that is 7 weeks!!! (very long weeks)

[Eloi]

Congrats!! I'm wondering why you don't have the same wheel covers than I got on my Vibe...Do you have the 1.8L? Maybe they're different for the 1.8L and the 2.4L?

[dutchvibe]

I have the 1.8L and the wheels are 16" steel wheels.Sticker price was $19,085.00

[imspace2]

That puts my Vibe at the dealer sometime late May

[jimincalif]

Looks good. Like the bright red!

[808 Vibes]

Congrats on the new baby, and what a charming looking city!

[bull77]

ah, new car smell Congrats!

[farles]

Dutchvibe. We have the same weather patterns here too, as expected. I live right between the lakes (Erie and Ontario)...go south and it cools off, go north and it cools off. Drop me an email if you ever travel up into this area...great wine region! (to give you an idea, it takes me 40mins to get to Buffalo).Congrats again on the car. I see you have XM radio. How is it? I also noticed a third headrest in the back...thats new from my '05

I hoping the weather service is wrong. So far this has been the warmest spring in many years. It will be 75 degrees today.

[dutchvibe]

My wife loves the XM....we rented a car a month ago that had XM and we listened to comedy. BBC and the Broadway channel. (My wife performs in local music theater and loves that stuff)

[dutchvibe]

Just got a call from my wife.....someone backed into the side of the Vibe.........Hit and run. Police has the license plate and is working on it!Sh*t

[Kamikaze]

(removed)???I don't get it.. you get a new vehicle and someone has to ruin it for you...

[Whelan]

That sucks about the H&R, but the car looks good in the pics. Nice color choice I like the new radio display and the rubber strips on the cargo bay.

[dutchvibe]

Thanks for the sympathy......Go Pens

[WaveAction]

yes go pens go! game 1 tonight! hope laraque flattens avery bad

[dutchvibe]

Hamilton ON, We use to drive to Pearson Int'l when we go to Holland. Always stop at the Dutch shop in Burlington.If the Pens win that will make this day a little (very little) better!

[WaveAction]

nice..Pearsons in Mississauga tho(my hometown) and i dont know which dutch shop you're talkin about..im sure if you said a road i'd know lol..and yes i hope the pens win!..4-0 against my hated rivalry(im a Leafs fan too..why..i dont know anymore) so i hope they can go another 4-0..against the rangers

[dutchvibe]

Dutch Shop 3019 New StBurlington, ON L7N 1A1, CanadaMany many years ago we watch channel 10 from London ON on our local Edinboro PA cable. They had Hockey night in CAN on every Sat. Then I was a Maple leaf fan. Now we get Fox out of Pittsburgh...Pens it is!

[MRCN RCE]

congrats on the new vibe, and i'm sorry to hear about the donkey that decided to ruin it for you maybe you should post the vehicle description and license plate number here and we can catch the idiot, beyond.ca style

[dutchvibe]

OK I said I would flood this site with pictures...well last night I was thinking what else could I take pictures of....well that decision was made easy by some sh*thead.

[farles]

Very, very sad indeed I feel for you...so sorry to see damage that early on. Hope they find the person that did this to a brand new Vibe. We will all come after them for you and give them a piece of our minds!!!I assumed you were from Holland. We have a very large Dutch population here in Niagara. My best buddy is Dutch, last name Dekker. My neighbour is an Elder, I work with Shrimer's, etc. etc. There are a ton of greenhouse operations here run by Dutch immigrants, first and second generation.Are you a soccer fan? Euro 2008 is fast approaching! Holland should do well. My homeland, England, are not even going to be there. So sad...beat out by the mighty Croatia in qualifying

[bull77]

That sucks!! Hopefully the cops will find the guy...My dad's dutch (born in the hague) and I of course have a typical dutch last name --- vanden...

[WaveAction]

sucks to see the damage..im part english and it sucks to not see england be in the euro cup..even though i dont watch soccer at all

[dutchvibe]

Yes I am Dutch... the rest of my family still lives overthere. Yes I am a big soccer fan. I watch the Premier league on fox sports every weeknd and root for the teams with Dutch players. I also watch games live on P2P via the internet. Sorry about your team not making it!

[dutchvibe]

I was born in province of Drenthe

[vhoward1122]

I think I lucked out. I originally wanted an 09 vibe base model, navy blue metallic with the preferred package, air conditioning, alarm system, and 5 speed manual transmission. The dealer found one with the engine/transmission and options I wanted only in red hot metallic. I ended up liking the red better. The navy blue would have been too dark for my liking. The other blues were too light.

Hope they find the bass-turd that did it!Cops have any luck yet?
