GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I found this place more upbeat and enthusiastic last year compared to how it is now. What happened to the dozen Vibes I met at the Oshawa plant meet last year? How come Big_Red doesn't even post here? Isn't he the moderator here? How come? How come? How come?

good question, mista! i think i post a lot in this forum and i don't even live there! lol

I seem to be one of the only ones left...

we had a good turnout at our sept 4 ontario meet! where's everyone else? maybe they are just busy?

yeah everyone turned out but they don't post much.

Excuse me Mista....but why are you trying to cause $hit??? I do post here, and I do participate in meets....I am the only Vibe that does anymore (at least in the GTA). Mavrik is holding his own in Kitchner...but I see tons of Vibes on the road and yet, none of them show...why is that? WHY?

without you n me big red Ontario is going dead... You got GTA and I got the west end, gotta get the Vibers out there, we know they exist, we see em.

i've been on the road 5 of the last 7 weeks (vacation/work/conferences)....i was lucky to be home the weekend of the sept 4 meet...and i still didn't have time to go to the dinner afterwards!i'm back now...for awhile.

Well welcome back Tom. at least you made it to the meet, we all got to hang out, you did miss a good dinner though. But hey next time.

ya, and blacjaq is also posting too... and i think he's trying to get more involved as well?

Hey I'm still here too! Sure, I don't go to meets because they're a bit far for me, but I'm still here... I tried to get interest in an Ottawa meet, but there wasn't much at all.

Yeah I have a "mini meet" each time I'm at the car.

he he he. at lunch today, i get out of the vibe and directly across from me is a white 2 tone base vibe. looked like a work vehicle because it had some of those magnetic signs on the sides for like a construction co. i've seen several vibes actually like that! lol

But your closer to the GTA East End meets then I am, those are like a two hour drive for me to get to which is why I haven't gone to one. But I wish we did have more active members in the Ontario forum... There used to be a lot more, ones that were planning the original july Vibe meet that just never happened. When I joined here I remember there being a lot more ontario vibers...course then Atwork (Juliana) quit ... I text messaged her today for a bit trying to talk her into meeting up with me and going to the East End meet tomorrow night but doesn't look like she wants to go. And I'm not driving 2 hours and not know anyone there.

Well if I were to drive 2 hours I'd get to Kingston. So its probably more like 4 to 5 hours for me to get to anywhere in Toronto.

oh my bad, I missread ottawa for Oshawa... oops!

I was wondering if thats maybe what you were thinking.... although my location used to read Ottawa and Kingston, so two hours from Kingston would be more likely if I were a fast driver.

Well I have never driven to Ottawa myself, been there before but thats it, I didn't drive. But I can get from my house to my friend's house in MTL during decent traffic conditions through TO and past Kingston in 5.5 hours.

Thats good time. Its about 1.5 hours to MTL from here I think. Someday I will live in Kingston again. I miss it and love it. Ottawa is no fun.

look everyone..lets just keep this thing we got going together and not have petty bickering about who is where and when more than who..makes no sense...shoot the way i see it..lets plan another meet and cruise..this we we can all air our diffrences...but atleast we will be all together!...Just a thought

yeah since I can't make the East end or West end GTA meets, I say we all try and turn out at the Kitchener one? its like a half way point for the TO guys and for the londoners and area like myself so we can all turn out. I'll go as long as I know I'm not the only one there. The matrix guys meet there every second saturday each month. Oct 9th is the next one.

at least you have meets to go to! anytime i'm in my car i have a meet! and that's boring after awhile!my vibe needs a vibe friend to hang out with!

If there is one thing that I don't do, is let Mista get me in a bad mood. The two of us have been attending GTA meets for quite some time. He makes fun of me for owning a Vibe. I make fun of him for owning a Matrix. It is a good healthy shot for shot friendship. Although, online it comes across a little more serious than it is intended. Now, personally I admit that if you are having a bad day or a few bad days (like I have been having), comments which are not meant to be rude end up pi$$ing you off even more. So, if my reply was a little rough, then I apologize. Attending these meets is an out of my regular hassle of life (especially work)....and it allows me to relax in a different way than if I spent my evening with my wife and kids. It is an evening with the guys talking about cars, cars....more cars and sometimes politics.
