Vibes are biting the dust!

Post by NewNeptune »

I've never seen so many posts of wrecked Vibes on the first page. I'm currently seeing 4! I wonder what's going on? Did someone put out a contract on everyone's Vibes?

A chunk of something came off a truck and struck my hood. Now I have a golfball size dent, and the paint is damaged. We must have done something to anger the Vibe gods. Maybe we need to sacrifice a Fiero.Big truck + big rock = damaged Vibe

Thankfully, my issue is more minor, but it seems I have a leak in my rear right tire! Air pressure was only 6 yesterday, so I put more air in it and it seems to hold for about a week before going low again Just bought it a few weeks ago too, so its a bummer.. but heck I guess it could be worse than that

if you just bought it, you should be able to get it fixed for free. discount tire will usually fix it for nothing even if you didn't buy it from them

I'm guessing the Pontiac Gods are doing what they can to "persuade" people to upgrade to the new Vibe to ensure that sales for the vehicle are high. A little bit of conspiracy theory never hurt anyone, did it?

Realistically speaking though, with the rear endings and stolen joy rides would not have mattered what vehicle it was, as it was some other idiots who caused the damage.It is unfortunate that other people's negligence and irresponsibility has caused our members inconvienience, but at least they are still around for which I am thankful.
