DATESaturday, June 24th, 2006LOCATIONJOSEPH PONTIAC, INC.16555 SILVER PKWYFENTON , MI 48430 -3420 TIME10:00am - 3:00pmCONFIRM ATTENDANCEhere: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=22061LODGINGFor convenience and location from the dealership, the Holiday Inn Express (almost directly across from the dealer) is our "official" hotel. [reservations and info]Note: upon contacting Best Western (also was the other nearby hotel), it appears that hotel has closed or changed hands. No further info is available on that hotel.If you wish to find another hotel in the area, check out this page from Google Maps (ignore the Best Western location).Any additional details will be posted if made available.

can we get that hotel information... if i'm going to put a pass in for it i will need that information soon so that i can get it approved. thanks a lot nick

yeah, that best western is gone, and a new target is going in its place.so except for the holiday inn express, the next closest hotel is at least 6 miles away.

wish we could make it. but perhaps the next one.... besides, we need to take a trip to see the in-laws and promised sam we'd make it to Montreal!

I figured someone from the area would chime in with an update. The Holiday Inn Express stands as official, and albeit a little more $ than the former Best Western, it is definitely an upgrade. Otherwise, anyone is free to choose another hotel. We'll probably hang out that evening somewhere, no fixed place yet.

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »I believe she is spoken for. I don't think that is what he meant (maybe it is), but girl Vibe owners are hard to find.

hey if i go i wanna hang out at hooters... i got a hooters card

Added time of event to first post of information:10:00am - 3:00pm

The time is indeed confirmed for 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.

well i just got disapproved to go to the meet. the army said no to me. I am supposed to be going to air assault school.

hmmm- ill think abt going.. - michelle

bah, got a grad party already scheduled for that day. I think I'm going to cry... Oh well, maybe I'll get enough scratch to get my baby tinted before the midwest meet...

Minor updatesIt looks like some GM team members will be present at the rally, however I'm not sure which "area" of the company they will be coming from. It does not look like any Vibe show cars will be present this year, unless they surprise us.GM will be offering some accessories to us to raffle off during the day.Confirm your attendance in this thread and let us know you're coming!

Only a week away.

Only 4 more days left! Weather is looking good as well. Hope to see everyone that can make it out there this Saturday!

I'm still going.

I'm still going as well... going to convoy up with another member or two.

Still going here for sure. I just spoke with Joseph Pontiac and there should be hot dogs, chips and soda for us. I let them know that we are thrilled that they are providing refreshments for us. There is also talk of going over to Joe & Lewie's afterwards again. And maybe more after that! We'll see!

cant wait to see yalls pics and maybe some vids of the meet boy i wish i could go but... ya. any ways have fun to all those that are goin and i really cant wait to see the pics.

Well it's all said and done. Low turnout but the great weather, tons of free Vibe accessories, and great people made it a great meet anyway! Look for my pics and more soon.

Yes sir You all missed it, they had an LS1 powered rear wheel drive Vibe there.

Yeah, I wasn't going to get in trouble for being the first to mention it since it was still under development, nor can I post any pics due to that as well.The other pics are in progress. I'll post a link as soon as they are uploaded.

That car had a lot of acceleration! The cool part was that everyone got a chance to test drive it because of the number of people there. Very cool! It was a great time although we didn't have as many people as we though we would. I would like to thank Joseph Pontiac for hosting it and I would also like to thank Nick and (removed) for their parts in arranging this meet.We had a good time looking for a...location after we ate. All in all, it was another great meet. We will be having it again next year. In the mean time, everyone support our Ohio Rally! Hope to see you there!

Sounds like a much better time than last year! Sorry we couldn't come! Free accessories? Very cool! Man, did we ever get screwed last year, we didn't even get free sodas! I'm glad you all had a good time.

Who had the carbon fiber B-Pillars with the red pontiac logo?

ha ha! still see some familiar faces! nick, rich, toasted, paul! lollooks like it was still a lot of fun!

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush »Who had the carbon fiber B-Pillars with the red pontiac logo?That was nitrovibegt's Vibe pictured. That was one of 3 sets of overlays given out during the meet.

It was a great time, even though so many people committed to being there and I quess they were hollow commitments...but thats another story...Beyond the RWD V8 vibe, you forgot the bikini car wash that the dealership had going on that day as well...the free food, dogs and burgers and the the Pontiac Performance team...The free accessories were a huge bonus and the pictures they showed all of us on the new 09 Vibe/VibeGT...09 GT supercharged....They are gonna be hot....had a great time meeting the ones that took the time to show up...it was worth the 853 mile road trip each way...Thanks...Nitrovibegt

Great time again this year and the weather was awesome! It wasn't 105 like it has been the last few years, there was even a cool breeze and the shade trees in the dealer parking lot were a little bigger this year as well. Too bad there was a low turnout, but those who made it had a really good time... and there was FREE STUFF! (with the low turnout, everyone got something and some people even got two free items)Quote, originally posted by Triton »That car had a lot of acceleration!

I want one of those!Quote, originally posted by Triton »We had a good time looking for a...location after we ate.Found it!Ohio meet coming up in August, check in the Ohio Forum soon for more details. Hope to see ya there!

(removed)! Yeah. Next year we should have a barbeque at a park somewhere and open it up to matrices, celicas, and scions.

Quote, originally posted by Merzbow »Yes sir You all missed it, they had an LS1 powered rear wheel drive Vibe there.No way! I have to see a pic pof that car for sure!

We are not allowed to post pics. They made us all sign something that said we can't release pics of it.

Quote, originally posted by Toasted7 »We are not allowed to post pics. They made us all sign something that said we can't release pics of it.Oh no... That sucks! Oh well I understand though. At least you got to drive it! I would have paid you 1 million dollars for a pic!

Quote, originally posted by MiVibe-ToolGuy »I would have paid you 1 million dollars for a pic! I may breach my contract for that much money... hey, I could always leave the country.

can you email a pic?? just so we can see what the heck it looks like? otherwise, that's freaking LAME! go GM! *rolleyes*

Did they say how much HP/TQ the LS1 Vibe had? Auto or stick?

Quote, originally posted by trdvibe »can you email a pic?? See below: Quote, originally posted by Toasted7 »They made us all sign something that said we can't release pics of it.E-mailing a picture would be similar to posting one here, you are still releasing it to the general public which is obviously forbidden. Let's not get anyone in trouble.

Quote, originally posted by Toasted7 »They made us all sign something that said we can't release pics of it.That's the kind of stuff that makes me always regret not making it to the MI megameet. Too bad the turnout was so low, I'll have to find a way to come next year

Quote, originally posted by joatmon »That's the kind of stuff that makes me always regret not making it to the MI megameet. Too bad the turnout was so low, I'll have to find a way to come next yearThe outcome of last year's meet made me write off this year's meet frm the get-go, quite frankly I didn't think it was worth the time, money, and effort to drive 8+ hours to get there last year. All we got was a GTR that had a couple years of dust piled up on it and the guys at the dealer pointed to the direction of the soda machine, that's about it. Then, I see this year GM actually did something cool and brought this V8-powered mystery vizzle and gave people free stuff???... Blah! Kinda sucks that I missed all of that, if I would have known the meet would have been worth going to, I may have put in a tiny bit of effort to get there this year. But there's always Columbus, I'll definitely be there.
