I'm going to try to make custom colors of these. If they look better than my 1st and 2nd futile attempts, then I might sell some.

I bought the exact same model from Wal-Mart for $20 CAD. It's sitting here in my office, to remind me of my Vibe!

I finally found one in a grocery store. They had 6 matchboxes, and one was a vibe. Afterr I applied the factory rebate, conquest discount, and matchbox in the driveway certificate, I was able to get enough off the sticker that the monthly payments fit in my budget.

I got mine for $39.99 plus shipping. not a bad price, but when it's something you want, what are you going to do?
