Christmas decorations

[ullbergm]

Anybody have any plans on decorating their Vibe for christmas?I'm still trying to think of something neat to do.. Btw, when i did my Halloween decorations i lost about 4 mpg, but part of that might have been that i ran the heater a lot more than before. I'm not sure how accurate that is, since i didn't keep track of what kind of driving i did, so its just a educated guess

Do you have photos of your Halloween mods?

Never thought to use the outlet for lights. Thats too cool.

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the Vibe had this feature. I LOVE Christmas lights and I saw some in a taxi once which I thought was really cool.

People looked at me kinda funny when i was driving down the streets... It was fun I plan on doing something for christmas, but im not sure what.I think that a big raindeer or something like that on the roof would be cool, but i think the wind would rip it off

I was thinking about a tree.. i'm a little worried about the blinking lights being illegal... I may call the local and state police to ask them. (and get a get-out-of-jail-free card )Maybe one of those singing trees.. wonder if i could rig the back hatch to open up and the tree to start singing.... and have a string so that i can close the hatch again........ hmm....

I don't understand how you lost 4 mpg with the lights.Please expound. James

I guess the extra work the engine has to do to keep the inverter running..

[Fritzburg]

I can't seem to believe we are talking about this, tress for cars, lights, inverters...whats next, someone have a small blender to make egg nog? LOL!

[Fritzburg]

sweet! what colour?

[Fritzburg]

LOL! That sounds shag-a-delic man!!

Man you guys are crazy!!! I would love to see some pics from the brave soul that does this

Would be funny though. "You have bee fined $XXX for decorating your car from the inside." IS there even a law that states you can't have your car decorated inside? I mean, the Vibe/Matrix is the only car that has an actual plug. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmh....interesting.

Since I'm feeling Christmas-y and going to do some Christmas shopping at the brand new Best Buy and Canadian Tire in half an hour - I thought I'd resurrect this thread.Anyone have any plans on decorating the Vibe for Christmas? I might see what I can find at Canadian Tire to plug into my outlet in the Vibe.

Yeah! I want to find one of those light-up statues (Santa, Raindeer, Snowman, ect.), and strap it to my roof-rack. That way when I flip-off stupid holiday drivers, they have to think, "what kind of psyco would do so while spreading christmas cheer?" Ok ok, I wouldn't, but it would be funny.
