GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hey guys and gals,Well, we had our Michigan meet. There were about 10 people that showed up. Hope everyone had a good time and we should do this again very soon . I shall post pictures later. Inder

Inder it was nice to see you again along with the others. Lol, I can still hear the beat coming from your vibe.... edit by myself...

Hey all - just got home. I was surprised we had 10 vehicles at the rally.. the turnout was better than I personally expected! It was good to meet up with everyone, BS, and eat... etc. The ride back was good too.Thanks to Rob (silverawd26) for planning the event and leading the caravan in the right direction to the park and restaurant - you did a good job! And to Inder (TRD4reel) for guiding me back to I-75. Here are my pics: http://gallery.genvibe.com/gallery/04miniMich-Nick

That was a ton of fun. My friend Dima enjoyed it too. Kinda upset I had to leave lunch early Wanted to stay and visit with you guys a little longer! Great to see everyone, I feel like I've known you all forever lol. I'm already getting excited for the big one in June.BTW nice pics Nick...wish I would have brought my dad's digi.Inder dont forget to post your pics.

Roadtrip! Roadtrip! Roadtrip!So, how many miles IS IT from Fenton Michigan to Eagle River AK?According to Mapblast: Start: Fenton, Michigan, United States End: Eagle River (neighborhood), Anchorage, Alaska, United States Total one-way distance: 3862.7 MilesEstimated one-way total time: 64 hours, 37 minutesHeck, a roundtrip in only a week (178 hours), allowing almost 49 hours for eating, sleeping, and repairs after tangling with a friendly moose or two.

Yeah. We had a pretty decent turn out. I wasn't expecting this many peopls to show up. But it was fun Inder

(removed)! now that's funny! no thanks! too long a drive for sure!

No it's not. It would be cool to have your car here . Just get it towed to Montreal or Toronto and then drive from there. Inder

Here are some pictures by the way. I did not have much time, since I was too busy conversing with other members but, this is what I have :Inder

(removed)! ya, you wanna pay the $2500 shipping bill?

Well, actually, Hope, I was thinking some of next summer's Michigan Super Meet III folks would take a roadtrip and have an Eagle River AK mini-meet a few days later! Boy , wouldn't THAT story make Pontiac Performance Magazine!

(removed)! it sure would! actually, i believe the subaru owners have a big timed cross country rally they take. that would actually be really cool to do, you know? a big cross country caravan up the alcan hwy! you do know that many people dream of someday driving that highway! not really sure why, but it is pretty cool and beautiful driving thru BC, yukon, and throughout Alaska.

I'd love for us to organize a cross-country group roadtrip to California to tour the NUMMI plant, meet everybody, etc. We could have checkpoints along the way, picking up more and more members as we progressed across the country, and it would just be a lot of fun, especially if we all booked the same hotel each night. Not doing it as a race, but just a caravan.

It would really be like a weeklong trip, and it wouldn't have to be that expensive, if we didn't stay at Sheratons. (Okay, a two week trip if you actually come home. )Sponsorship ideas, anyone? Connections?

Yeah. It was pretty cool meeting everyone at this meet. And yeah, if we can get some people to go with, I got the hook up with tickets at the Detroit Auto Show. Inder

Boy , wouldn't THAT story make Pontiac Performance Magazine!We can have a Gumball Rally style race from Fenton to Eagle River. Whoever got there first gets a T-shirt, and the bragging rights to owning the fastest Vibe.

HI....thanks for invitin me to the meet....i had ALOT of fun (so did my little boy!!!) i cant wait for the next one!!

Hey Jack,Yeah, we were glad that you could make it. This is Inder by the way Inder

It was a small meet, but nice to see everyone. Rob, you did a outstanding job with the planning. Inder, I need to get some beats (MP3's) from you.

hahaha. sure. just let me know whenever u want em. i can mail em to u as well.Inder

HAHA, and can you believe Rob was late!? He rolled in after me and I even had enough time to get lost! lol, j/k.

Nice work BTW for all those wondering who the h*ll Dima is, he is my friend from around here. He doesn't have a Vibe (he's a civic guy lol, no rice though his car's real nice lookin and no spoiler or fart cannon) He loves Vibes so I think he's coming with me to the Fenton meet too.

You just like Russians don't you lol. I do too. Once at a party he was first to fall asleep and he shot up in bed and looked over at me and started screaming at me in Russian with his eyes closed, still asleep then he layed back down. It was nuckin futs!Anyways this isn't a Dima forum so we will converse with him at the next meet.It turned out to be a descent day afterall. The sun broke thourgh a bunch of times during the meet. Cleared up just in time for work so I had some nice weather to taught me while I pushed carts (removed)!....Man that chicken Quasidilla was delicious

looks like a great turnout rob!

BTW, the PT Cruiser drive by horn blowing, was my wife on the way to the mall! Did not know that until I got home and she said did you see me? I said what... Good time...

I was so glad it didn't rain. It was great to see all you guys there. Nice to put names with faces.

lol, I was wondering who that was. Kinda weird that her and the one guy in the silver Vibe just happened to roll by the same spot we were in.

Nice to meet you Paul...Yeah very funny because Rob said is your PT like that one, I said yes just like that one!!

Yeah, it was quite fun. Wish there was more to do. O well. It's okay Inder

Yeah you too Todd:)Inder, what you mean more to do? Do you want us to set up an autocross course next time or somethin?? (removed) j/k.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. We can have a meet at an autocross track and test out our skills .Inder

I tried IM'ing Waterford Hills to see how much they'd charge us to do a one day thingy but they never got back to me. I figured it would be cool. My friend would go w/ the Lotus Car Club of Michigan to their Raceweekend at Grattan.

Sounds like everyone had a really good time. I wish I could have made it, but my fater-in-law was in the hospital and I really couldn't break away. I will definitely be in attendance next time.

Yeah. O well man, there's always next time that you can make it to the meet.Inder
