Wow, that's a blast from the past...that article is from 2002. Wonder if there's an original post about it on here somewhere? Or if they found Nick via this board?

quite the article. "G.M. reports that the average age of a Vibe owner is 46." could have fooled me.

The real publishing date is located below, as was mentioned, but I've seen it myself doing searches on the Vibe and saw my name and remembered about that article.
