I had an 03 GT that i totalled last summer. Am about to get back into one this month. Just wanted to re-introduce myself.

man that looks... NASTY!!! hope everything was ok and good luck with the new one

Thanks! Wife broke a leg and rib in the passenger seat, but we are fine now. That was 65mph against the right front head light of a dodge dakota turning across traffic. Vibe performed beautifully in its demise.

(removed)!!! When I see something like that I can only imagine the worst. Glad you and you're wife survived and have recovered. To only break a leg & rib after seeing that sort of damage is amazing.

ouch!!!where did the engine go??Everytime i see one of these horrifying sites of dead vibes I feel so much safer driving mine.To see so much damage to these vehicles with so little ocupant damage is truly amazing!

Everything in the engine compartment slid under the car. Engine and transmission collapsed down and under. We are thankful!

WoW, looked like a pretty bad crash! Glad to hear the Vibe performed as it should in the accident. How did your wife manage to break a leg? I assume the rib was from the impact of the seat belt? Guess we should all feel safe if nothing else!

God you guy's are so lucky frome the look's of that picture. I'm glad that I drive a vibe. Best of luck in the new vibe... nuvibe

Wow, I was just gonna ask which one of you got a engine in the face!Even thoguh shes totalled, she still looks sexy

HOT DAMM!! that looked rough. Cabin looks in great shape though.what made you decide on another vibe?

Tha cabin that looks like it's in great shape I bet influenced it j/k

HOLY CRAP! glad you are all ok now.

Once again the Vibe proves its metal. Glad to hear you are both doing better now.

judging from the pic, it's easy to assume the worst. but i'm glad the vibe did what it's supposed to do, protect youare you getting another GT??after looking at the pic and knowing yall are ok, it's confirmed: this is the kind of vehicle my kid's gonna have as his/her first car

Glad to hear you and your wife are OK now after going through all that!Every pic I see of a wrecked Vibe, as sad as that is, only confirms my faith in them! Good to hear you're getting another Vibe!!!

The wife was sitting with one leg crossed behind the other; it pushed her other leg into the bar support under the glove box. Broke the big bone in her shin.Not getting another GT because of the premium fuel.

wow glade to hear yall are ok. i jumped a little when i saw the pic and i was shock but that proves the Vibes structure very well, almost like that Smart. and Jdub we are have a meet in Dallas oct.28th at Swelle Pontiac. i have the sign up link and information link in my sig if youd like to join us, and so far we have like 20 people including me). but glad to see you and your wife allright and getting another Vibe.!

Wow, that is one heck of a crash. Glad you both are ok.

Im reffering to the crumple zones that many of the new vehicles are designed with today.Yes, i'm sure it is a safety feature. Safety features like that are the only reason i feel comfortable getting back into a small car. I went to the GMC Yukon from the totalled vibe, with a short stint in a Mazda3 Hatch. I was still driving the road i had the wreck on several times a week in the mazda, and it was just too eerie. Thank you all for the encouragement!

Glad you all are well and getting another Vibe!!Pics man....dont forget about Pics!!!

so you up for our little meet?and yea dont forget the pics mann.
