Nice to see this thread coming alive again and even better that we've got some newbies and an "old timer" participating

Hmmm.... I wonder if I can find that original Mini from the 70's that's been driving around here...

Close enough.

That Vibe is looking a little rough... I'm sure you'll get her fixed up properly, though.

I'll give your challenge a shot. Might need to visit a dealer, or something, but I've seen a few of those tiny cars in my area.

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2013 10:57 pm**

im gonna wait to get it fixed up and painted up real nice after i build it. its been in 2 wrecks (neither were my fault!!) and has never seen a body shop, o well. it aint rough, it has character

and btw, an old school mini would be dwarfed by a vibe!!! itd be perfect to fulfill the challenge though

Glad someone finally got my challenge! That's great, Blueridge9, just the sort of place I was looking for.

There are a gazillion Smarts and Chevy Sparks around here - maybe I can park beside one on the way home.

So now I'm responding to VibeEnvy's challenge: "Take a photo of your ride in the driveway (or otherwise parked nearby, in view) of a national leader's residence. It can be a monarch, president, chancellor, dictator, whatever".

Here's my Vibe at the entrance to home and visitor center of Monticello, home of President Thomas Jefferson, in Charlottesville, Virginia. I had to park and ride a shuttle up to tour the house so no opportunity to get a photo of my Vibe in front of his house.

How about a CitroÃ«n C1 or a Toyota Aygo ... I don't know if the CitroÃ«n looks like a jelly bean, but the I think the Aygo looks like a little frog or something.

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2013 3:14 pm**

all yours now!! and you get bonus for havin 2 different cars, AND the fact that the citroen does look kinda like a jelly bean. awesome!!!

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:26 am**

OK, give me a couple days ... I have a pic in mind, but I don't think I can get it until Monday.

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2013 10:57 pm**

PLEASE dont let this thread almost die again!!!! haha

Posted: **Thu Feb 07, 2013 7:19 am**

OK, here's the new challenge. Get a pic of your Vibe parked close to a tall tower - TV, radio, cell, smokestack, etc.

Posted: **Mon Feb 11, 2013 10:33 am**

Smokestack and watertower!

Posted: **Mon Feb 11, 2013 10:40 am**

Xtra credit! It's all yours!

Posted: **Mon Feb 11, 2013 10:43 am**

I figured since I couldn't get that close to the smokestack I'd better get a backup! I'll post my challenge in a bit.

Posted: **Tue Feb 12, 2013 9:43 pm**

The Challenge: Your vehicle (or a vehicle you're in) on or near a frozen lake/river with someone hanging out the passenger side! I realize that not all of us have the luxury of having a 2ft thick frozen playground so a frozen waterway in the background will do.

Posted: **Tue Mar 12, 2013 8:17 am**

Well since nobody got the frozen playground, I'll post a new challenge!

Your vehicle next to something much much smaller! (Kei cars, original Mini, ect)

Posted: **Tue Mar 12, 2013 9:12 am**

You could have parked next to a Vibe in that tank and killed two threads with one stone.

Although how funny is it that that thing says "Jumbo"!

Posted: **Tue Mar 12, 2013 9:40 am**

I love that this thread is still going. Good work, guys!

Can't do anything today, but I'm going to try and jump in on one of the next few cycles.

Posted: **Tue Mar 12, 2013 7:05 pm**

Aww man! Nobody has a small car in Minnesota! Everyone has an SUV! I've got one of the smallest things on the road...

Might be time to visit that Smart dealer...

Posted: **Wed Mar 13, 2013 4:04 am**

RATS! I was beside a smart car at a light this morning, should have got my girlfriend to snap a pic, unfortunately I did not see this challenge until now lol

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:50 pm**

This one is mine (even if I can sort of cheat thanks to the fact I own both cars).

and the challange (such as it is) is your car in front of a pile of earth (in this case you can see it above the roof of the Matrix, it is from the construction happening next door).

I may get a better shot tomorrow if this one isnt good enough.
Edit: Looking at the challenge picture I will need to get a better one, so I'll be back

( though the challage will remain the same for those who have already looked).

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 6:42 pm**

Drat, my plan to snap a shot with the MG Midget has been foiled.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:15 am**

Well you could always get one of the challenges and use a pic with the MG for our challenge.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:37 pm**

as promised here is the better challange pic. (yes it is the smart in the pic, that's what I drove in to work today).

9have to say the cars look clean in the pics, too bad they dont on real life).

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 4:53 pm**

Does it have to be dirt? Or can it be a gigantic pile of snow?

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 7:26 pm**

Piles of snow are too easy ( or they used to be). I think the pile needs to be dirt ( or at least dirt showing through a layer of snow for those of you where spring hasn't come close to arriving yet).

I'll give my big pile of snow a try, but it is supposed to snow again this weekend. If it doesn't fulfill, that'll be fine.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 10:09 am**

Would this work? Or should I find some dirt instead?

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 10:48 am**

That brings back memories... I grew up in northern Maine and there was one spot in town where they'd truck all the snow from the gigantic snowblowers they cleared the streets with and dump it. Sometimes that pile would last until June.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 10:54 am**

[quote="KITT222"]Would this work? Or should I find some dirt instead?

To me your photo qualifies, and I'll bet that nobody can find larger piles of snow. I'd like to see somebody post a photo of a strange animal on the roof of their Vibe. Seeing an elephant up there might be a stretch, though.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 12:38 pm**

Hey Nick. Looks like some people have been having fun on those large piles of snow. Any brave 4-wheelers climbing all over it? Maybe a dirt bike or two. That could be a lot of fun

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 1:34 pm**

Maybe. The snow is at my high school at takes up the entire row of parking spaces at the end of the lot. So there are two and a half spaces on one side. A Jeep Cherokee with a lift commonly takes up that half space, with the front end up in the pile, but that's all I've seen. For that picture I tried to get my right front wheel up the snow a little bit, and I did. Sometimes the other drivers take up so much space that I almost NEED to drive up the snow to avoid them.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:43 pm**

You know what that is a big pile of snow, and since no one else has stepped up to the challenge, it is all yours.

Posted: **Tue Mar 19, 2013 2:45 pm**

Your challenge: fun with perspectives!

Do something involving camera trickery with perspective, and your car.

Posted: **Tue Mar 19, 2013 6:38 pm**

Awesome Nick

For a minute there I thought that was a real full sized Vibe

Too bad it wasn't because that G8 GXP style front bumper is to die for

I have a GREAT Idea for this

I'll try for it if it's not snowing tomorrow when I wake up.

Posted: **Sun Apr 21, 2013 7:10 pm**

Bump... someone... anyone...???

Posted: **Sun Apr 21, 2013 7:22 pm**

I posted to the GV Facetube page. Maybe that will get some attention.

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:51 am**

im going to go take mine in just a bit.

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2013 11:05 am**

it was worth a try. lol. my car is broken. lol

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2013 12:25 pm**

This works. You're up! Post to the Facebook page, too, once yo have made your challenge.

Posted: **Thu Apr 25, 2013 11:06 am**

i couldn't think of anything else so how about a pic of a vibe at a car show? lol

Posted: **Fri Apr 26, 2013 3:57 pm**

Oh I love this! Great idea and sound like fun! Now, can you post to any previous challenge posts or just the most recent one?

Posted: **Fri Apr 26, 2013 6:48 pm**

I guess you can post to any previous ones, but mostly it works that someone posts a challenge, whoever meets the challenge gets to specify the next challenge. Only meeting the current unsatisfied challenge wins the prize of being able to specify the next challenge. Posting to old completed challenges doesn't count for anything, nobody's really been doing that, but nothing will stop you if you want to.

I remember this old inactive thread.

Guess vibes in car shows are really rare

Posted: **Wed May 22, 2013 5:45 am**

Maybe moreso that for the majority of the country, it's just getting into season for car shows!
