GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I'm still waiting to hear from Aaron. I'll send him a IM.

I have been in contact with Joseph Pontiac and I haven't received a call back yet saying it is ok. I am going to be calling them again today around to try and get the thumbs up. I will let post as soon as I find out.

I have been contacted by Joseph Pontiac and they are trying to confirm the date with Jeff Strauser from GM. I should hear back from Joseph very soon to let me know more information. June 25th is going to work for the dealership though.

Let's see, if I was to drive 17 hours a day from 6-11 for 2 days, then I would have to leave the morning of the 23rd to get there the night of the 25th. Something tells me my wife 1) won't want to go, 2) won't let me go alone, and 3) wouldn't let me go anyways. As much as I would LOVE to go, I know it won't happen. Maybe my wife will leave me by then for some odd reason (wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen) and then I could do whatever the hell I want! Don't count on that either. Oh well, I hope everyone who does go has a great time and takes lots of pictures for those of us who can't be there!

Why don't you just fly out here man. I'm sure if I can't help ya out, there's a lot of members in MI that would prolly help ya to get to the meet.Inder

Especially after I get Chris' body kit, the silver CF hood, maybe RKSport's rear bumper and top spoiler by then, and all that. It's possible that I may even have a SC by then too! I would def want to have the Vibe there with me. It just wouldn't be the same without it. Maybe if Christian or any other guys from the area were going we could all caravan that would be cool. Still don't think the wife would approve my chit.

Last I heard/read, I thought Christian was maybe thinking about coming...

I'll plan on being there again. 29

I have got confirmation from Joseph Pontiac that June 25th will be the day of our Michigan Rally. I will be posting another thread later today that will include maps, phone numbers and contact information for anyone that has any questions. I just need to talk with my contact at Joseph Pontiac one more time to get any other details that will need to be shared.

Sweet. I can not wait. Should be pretty fun.Inder

I'm going to try and make it atleast in the morning for an hour or so STUPID aniversary party...maybe if there are any after events, I could go to those too.

Excellent! Can't wait!

I'm in! That makes 30

I hope to be able to get in touch with him this month to confirm this and any additional reps that may be onhand.

He should be posting something soon.

I have confirmation from Joseph Pontiac that Jeff Strausser WILL be there. So we know that there will be at least one GM rep there. I'm sure Jeff will bring others with him like he did last year.

Yeah. I wanted to have a conversation with him as well.

Great news !Thanks

Well, I had my mind made up, and was going to go, but I just checked the calendar, and someone beat me to those dates, so I'm out....this makes 2 that I've missed out on so far this year.....

i'm in that makes 31 plus my girlfriend 32

Just an FYI for everybody, I just made reservations at the Fenton Best Western for the Friday and Saturday nite. The receptionist at Joseph Pontiac said it is fairly close to the dealership and the rooms were $74.80 per nite, single occupancy, AAA discount. Did anyone that went last year stay here? Is it a decent place to stay? or ?

Is it a decent place to stay? or ?I (and another member) stayed at the Fenton Best Western last year and it was decent. They had wireless internet that was not working quite yet, but yes, it is very close to the dealership. I was personally holding off on reserving a room until I see where others are staying so we could all stay near or at the same place that evening. Last year, everyone else stayed about ~30 minutes away.I'd hold onto the reservation until you hear otherwise - there is no penalty to cancel before that date so no worries there.We'll probably start a lodging/"where are you staying" thread soon to get that aspect coordinated.

I am a new member and I would love to attend. I think I can trick my wife into coming as well. I only live 15 minutes from fenton.33

Welcome to Genvibe. Hope to see you at the meet.

Thanks, Nick for the info. If a lot of us decide to stay there, I'd volunteer to try to negotiate us a "group" rate if everybody wanted to.?

Mike and I will plan on attending as well. Like we'd miss it... 34 and 35

Quote, originally posted by CaCathy13 »Mike and I will plan on attending as well. Like we'd miss it... Great! I was wondering when we would hear from you. Glad to know that you two are coming.

Quote, originally posted by Kari »*You're* jealous? I'm the one who's jealous...it's a 12 hour drive for me! About the same for me. If I remember correctly from last year it was about 10 hours. But hey, you get to drive a car you love on your way to a good time. Getting there is half the fun.

Hell yeah!!

Getting there is half the fun. Yep, and I'll be with the Colonel for more than half the drive too, thus making it even more fun!

Ragingfish now becomes a "maybe."I've just incurred over $1200 in unexpected expenses, and my income has dipped to about 20% of what it normally was...I can't say for sure I'll be financially secure to make this meet right now...Sorry folks...

Sorry to hear that Mike. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we totally understand. Keep us posted.

So how many are going to attend without a doubt? I've been reading all these maybe, might, could be's.. I thought this list was to CONFIRM your attendance... Moderator, can you make a confirmed list? I understand when something comes up that someone might not be able to make it. Thanks!

Bummers... I hope things change for you over the next 3 months and you'll be able to make it...

Quote, originally posted by Ponyota »Moderator, can you make a confirmed list? I understand when something comes up that someone might not be able to make it. Thanks!I'll start working on a (confirmed - Maybe) list soon. Mike, I still hope you can make the trip this year.

Y'all know if there's ANY way I can make it happen I will...

Scratch myself and my fiancee. Her friends wedding is that day and she won't let me skip it.

(removed) that SUCKS! I hate weddings...

rasermon,I'll be there this year. Kinda mad that I've been MIA since the Ohio meet in 2003. You'll see why when I get there. Count me in as confirmed.36

bpl442 & friends - 4 total37

Just joined. bot base03 5spd two months ago-its great! got new battery thanx to forum. will bring wife, its her toy. We've got a wedding that night too but 2 will attend daytime38

I just wanted to let everyone know that if more than one person is attending, your number in blue below your post will only reflect as one. The purpose of the number is so that I can inform the dealership how much room we will need for cars. When the date draws closer, we will need to get an approximate of how many people will be there as well. We will have a separate list for that. As of right now, it looks as though the meet will be bigger yet again. Thanks everyone for your support!

If I have my way, my 68 year old buddy will also be there with his '04 Vibe, so he should be tentatively added to the list. It's like pulling teeth, though, so it's absolutely, positively tentative with his showing up. Or maybe I'll be there with My Baby, instead of him. Who knows? But add another "tentative" or two.
