Tornado Vibe?

Post by trb »

I saw this pic on jalopnik, in an article about a guy still driving his storm tossed Mustang. And I noticed that there is a Vibe in the background. I wonder how badly damaged it was?

No more glass, tail lamps rather shattered, paint and interior are probably knackered, but I'll bet it still runs just fine. When you think about it, there's a lot of metal protecting the oily bits from damage. And judging from the fact that the plastic bumper is still attached and in good shape, I'm going to say it's good to go!

Poor Vibe :cry:. Definitely a 2nd gen and it looks like it's Steel Blue Metallic.

I'm going to have to agree with Nick and say it obviously has cosmetic damage, but I'm willing to bet it stills runs like a champ!
