I Made it into Pontiac Performance Magazine

Post by Whelan »

LOLOL! I will be mentioned in the summer edition. Some of you may also have gotten this email today from a lady who was doing an article on Vibe's capacity and she took some excerpts from the "Vibe Can Haul" post. Here was what she wrote for me:DRIVING FROM HIS HOME in Milford,Conn., to a New York Jets vs. BuffaloBills game at The Meadowlands in NewJersey last December, Adam Whelan took along four adults, one large grill,four bags of food, one folding table(which fit on the cargo floor perfectly),extra clothing, and four folding chairs.*“And not even a half tank of gas was used,” Whelan brags

It's impressive that the Pontiac folks consider the Vibe community an asset and poke in there (even if quietly) I'm in the same article with my pinball machine saga.

They just sent me an email and asked if they can use me in their magazine for the same article. I'll be willing to autograph copies for a small fee.

Ouch! I guess I deserve that from you! Just be thankful they're not posting my picture. I never thought I would get in a car magazine, especially with no mods. Hey, I'll take it.

So when Holland heard about Pontiac Underground — the new online community created for Pontiac enthusiasts — the Jupiter, Fla., resident acted on the urge to get his car noticed. Holland posted pictures of his Vibe in the “See and Be Seen” section of the website at Pontiacunderground.com. “I think Vibe doesn’t get that much attention,” says Holland, who regularly comments on genvibe.com and wanted other Pontiac fans to see how his Vibe shines. Holland is among the many Pontiac enthusiasts from around the world who have discovered the site. Launched in February, Pontiac Underground allows all Pontiac admirers to talk about and show off their favorite vehicles. While GTO, Grand Prix, Solstice and other passionate Pontiac owners can chat on their own forums, Pontiac Underground offers these enthusiasts more than just another place to voice opinions.....
